But, but - patriarchy! (Girls think they're smarter)

You are missing the point. The larger sex in the ant kingdom is the female queen. The warrior ants are females, the worker ants are females.

This shows that males are not inherently stronger or smarter because females are only adapted for lives as domestic chattel, in some circumstances it has developed that way, and in others it hasn't and the male is the weaker sex.

[John Galt]

in humans men are the weaker sex. more prone to disease, less pain thresholds, live shorter lives, and significantly more prone to developmental disorders like autism and dyslexia (this, perhaps, becauase of the differences in how men and women's brains work), and more apt to commit suicide. they even have higher chance of miscarriage before even being born. but they do have better spatial cognition thanks to testosterone. and they do have god sticks while females have shame caves so that's a plus

[The Dharma Bum]

You realize that simply by exercising women too can raise their testosterone levels and thus, according to you, enhance their spatial cognition?

So gender roles. If society had instead forced men to take on a passive role and women an active one for hundreds of thousands of years the opposite could be true.

In other words, we've evolved physically and mentally to fit gender roles and not the other way around.

The fact that all social animals, including humans, establish alphas and betas (which can be both male and female) amongst their species is very much scientific. Human existence is highly overrated on this planet by some.

[The Dharma Bum]

no it's not

the basic unit of a wolf pack is a wolf family. there can be multiple families in a wolf pack, with the largest pack known to have reached 42 animals. there is still a head of the pack, and they still compete with other packs. and whatever the case may be, even betas know what i mean about alpha males. i wasnt even thinking of wolves when i wrote that, i was thinking of gorillas and all their bitches
