Battle of the sexes

I'm on a roll with posting today.
To my point though.
Let's start from the beginning.
God made two sexes or if you're an atheist then evolution made two sexes. Male && Female. Each with a area in their own expertise. Men are strong and can fight lions and small bears while woman have hips used to seduce men and then get stuck with kitchen work.
Now I am not the type of woman who says "Women's place is in the kitchen." because it isn't. I believe in equality between sexes in the sense that if men can run a business women should be able to as well. But one thing that comes to my mind and often makes me sway back to the ye olde thinking is the physical traits of us. Men are physically stronger. I don't care what any feminist says, it's true. There's accepting the truth and then there's being stupid. Men are stronger and women are more nurturing. Why else would women be so romantic and sensitive if they weren't meant to love and nurture? It's here when I start to think "Yes - women can go out, have a career and have a life but they are also meant to bring up children."
And it's here when I think that in the middle of this fight for equality have equal rights have we really forgotten what's important? Women are striving so much to be independent that maybe they are starting to fail where they exceed the most. Bringing up children. Yes children need a male role model too - specially boys so fathers are needed as well in this argument (In fact I feel that without a wholesome family children are more prone to psychological problems but let's not go into that).
But in all this fighting and feminism and sexism have we forgotten that after us a whole new generation has to take over and if they aren't of some form of stable mind because their moms are career women and their dads are off competing with them trying to be better - well...I say no more.
There are several smaller arguments tied into this major one. One is the undying belief from men that they are alpha. I often go on a forum called Gaia Online and the amount of sexism you can come across is amazing for a PG-13 forum. Boys all over that site go on about how they are better than women, how women are only used for sex and how girlfriends are forced to join in sexual activity (the latter was what inspired this actually). And Ok so most of them are meant in jest but it's this type of male down-lookage that makes women want to do better - want to strive to do better and then we forget our basic and foremost important tasks. And it's this type of behaviour that makes younger boys think it's alright to use women and that they're meaningless. I know not all men are like this - I've met several who can be romantics (one is a major romantic as well).
And so this battle goes on - with women trying to prove they are just as good as men. And then people become blind to the simplest of facts - the stuff that's right in front of our eyes the fact that men are women are not equal. We are built for different jobs - you can't make a car float on water because it's not made for that and in the same way you can't make men have kids and you can't make women be as physically strong.
Now there are the times when this is proven wrong - I do say.
And I am not saying that women are only meant to stay in the house. I do not believe that at all. I do think women can go out and get jobs and run business like men!
But my point is that the basics principles of our anatomy and our general temperaments are being ignored because of this fight to see who is superior. We are forgetting who we are and what we are meant for originally.

My second point is: Evolution is God in disguise

God is not real Grr! D:<
*athiest powers*

Anyways, I agree with you totally. I am a woman and I'm not physically strong but I apparently am extremly maternal and very 'motherly', I love women who are like this just as much as I love independant women. It's when both careers of a father and a mother become more important than their child that annoys me. Child upbringing is a joint responsibility. of. That's why I hate my Dad, he never tried with us like my mom did. You never saw my Dad supporting us. ):

But yeah, and this is why I admire Mrs G so darn much. She's an independant career woman who doesnt let her job control her family life so much. I mean look at hoe much she spends with Rowan when she can. He has such a fantastic rolemodel and even his dad seems like a decent person.

There is also the other end of the scale where certain women use the excuse of bringing up children as an excuse not to get a job, not even a small part time job in a shop. That's what irritates me just as much as Miss-extreme-career. ><
