In reply to the discussion: Are men the weaker sex? [View all]lunatica

I agree completely with you! Frankly, if it werent for men humanity would still be living in small villages, having not evolved much. There might be more harmony perhaps, but civilization as we know it today would probably not exist. A few famines and the human race would have been too depleted to survive.
Imagine if both sexes had always worked together as equals. Its something to think about. Because in reality there is no weaker sex.
