Why do you think Women are better than Men?

They quite clearly aren't, they just leech off what Men achieve.

Women only want equal rights when it suits them, like pay for example.

no gender is better than another gender I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to say that,

What's your source OP?

Feminists want equal rights. Although I do agree with you in one respect. Equal pay would suit me nicely thank you.

Also equal childcare responsibility, equal opportunities, equal share of domestic responsibilities, equal representation. But I have always been so terribly demanding Hmm

Actually I am much better at pregnancy and childbirth than any man I've ever met. Ever.

That said I can't make sperm to save my life though I can pee standing up if I don't mind wet feet

Be careful swallowedAfly or you'll be in serious trouble with dirtymartini who, possibly rather rashly, offered the OP money if she could find one person on this board who thought women were better than men.

I think we're superior because we have the babies. I think babies are rather cute, and contribute to the survival of the human race. But it's just my opinion Wink We also live longer, work harder, and are more peaceful.

Haven't read the entire lengthy thread Hmm..but...... we open jar tops a bit better. And get things down from high shelves a bit better. And do the reverse parking bit a bit better. Probably. Die earlier better, def. And say "oh don't make a fuss over little ole me" better. We sulk much better, and for longer. We look pensive better, when we are actually considering how many Areo bars you could fit inside a fully grown African (not Indian) elephant. We run faster, throw longer and more accurately, lift heavier weights, jump higher, dance better (Grin), strut around thinking we look really cool better, and are (currently) essential to the continuance of the human race.

and we scrape already thoroughly empty barrels much better.

There. My work is done.

Awe... Pan... I love men. But, er.. sorry to tell you...

KatieMiddleton · 30/05/2011 20:58

Actually I can open a jar better than my dh (I have this blunt knife trick I should patent - brains over brawn that one), I can throw better and more accurately and dance better too. The other stuff you list Pan he has the edge on with the exception of sulking. On the two occasions where I have needed to use that technique I have demonstrated more stamina and resolve and caused much more upset in the other party than the odd occasion where dh has used a similar strategy that only lasts half a day until he spits out what's on his mind.

I was also dramatically better at breastfeeding. And I was a lousy breastfeeder.

AwesomePan · 30/05/2011 21:05

sorry to tell you, but such toys don't come with a ripple of manly forearm as the top comes free, followed by a deep, rich bass-baritone voice saying "there you go, love", that sends you knees to jelly. You've got the think of the whole service, see?

madwomanintheattic · 30/05/2011 21:10

'the whole service'

does that include a free head-pat? Grin

AwesomePan · 30/05/2011 21:14

Ha! only if you ask for one. And it usually comes in the form of the winning wink, which also sends your knees to jelly.Grin

HandDivedScallopsrgreat · 30/05/2011 21:16

Pan - I'll give you getting things down from high shelves. But if this was a woman's world there wouldn't be shelves we couldn't reach Wink.

AwesomePan · 30/05/2011 21:23

or a step ladder. Or a box. or magnets on items to draw them down. Or judicious use of string as a lassoo-type thing. Or just "emcourage" them down.

AwesomePan · 30/05/2011 21:23

or encourage even!

No. Tis much cleverer. Most of the really tough jars have one of those button things in the top that makes a really tight seal. By sliding a blunt knife under the rim of the jar between the threads and wiggling it makes the tiniest gap which releases the seal and bingo! jar is open.

Do not do this with a sharp knife. You will impale yourself and possibly the man who's coming to assist you while purring in his best baritone "S'alright love. I've got it covered". Although he probably deserves it.

the button on the top just needs pressing down firmly - if you look properly.....

many men are killed and injured every month by patners whose irresponsible jar-opening technique is used as a defence in court.....section 20 wounding is a serious case. Some may deserve it. Some were just planning to exercise their larynx. Who knows.
