Women on top

[Cunt]

I've been wondering which fields of human endeavor are dominated by women.

All my life, everyone has been saying that women are equal to men, but in any measured way, it's tough to find that. Everywhere, men dominate with their bigger muscles, bones and cognitive power, so if women really are equal, there should be plenty of areas where they dominate the field.

Strippers, porn stars, prostitutes, nurses, secretaries, administrative assistants, office managers, human resource managers, primary school teachers, day care workers, social workers, meeting and event planning, counselors, tax preparers, tax collectors/revenue agents, advertising and promotions managers, public relations, insurance underwriting, claims adjusters, veterinarians, psychologists.

I meant areas where one clearly outperformed. I do realize that women are overrepresented in these fields, but it isn't as clear to me what their strengths are. I mean, I see them. I would generally prefer to work for a women, and generally prefer to work with men. Those are quite clear, just not the why...

I'm trying to think of clearly measurable traits here, by the way. Real, measurable and tangible things.

So far, all I have is that they live longer, and usually can get someone to lift heavy things, or reach the top shelf for them (maybe those things are connected...)

Of course, trolls are welcome, as always.

As for the traits, perhaps heightened empathy, lower competitiveness, etc., help in some fields. Teaching, for example, would seem to benefit from those traits, as might psychology, veterinary medicine and nursing.

I definitely see they are less competitive, which should translate into better teamwork. Except that all-female teams of just about everything are outperformed by men.

At the peak end, they seem very underrepresented. If every competitive venture is dominated by men, it's tough to make the case that women are 'the equal' of men. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they excel in many individual cases, that's not in dispute. Why then, are they not getting themselves to the top of most ladders?

I mean, we live in a matriarchy (my country has a Queen) so it shouldn't be systemic barriers in place...

This is not to say that men are "better" or "superior" to women, but to say that the physical differences are nonexistent is simply wrong...

Again, the strawman here is in casting 'equality' as a project which seeks to remake women to a male standard in physical capacities and attributes, to make women the same as men, whereas in reality it's a project to equalise opportunity and regard. The idea that a women might perform to a higher standard than men is a threatening prospect to some, and so an impulse arises to deride Women for their physical limitations and to admonish others for suggesting that women could ever be the physical equals of men - let alone their betters. This, frankly, is missing the point.

Who actually says that men and women should be treated as if there are no differences in their physical capacities and attributes when it is quite obvious that even men are not equal in that regard? And yet some will strenuously maintain that even though all men are not created equal all men are the natural superiors of all women because men have the capacity to dominate women in every sphere of human endeavour - as the OP clearly suggests.

Basically, it's red herrings all the way down.

Not at all, Brian Peacock. I'm just looking for clear examples of women outperforming men in some individual competitive effort.

I am fully aware that it is near impossible to find any two people who are 'equal'. I honestly pursue equality of opportunity for everyone (though I think women as a group need a lot less support than, say, persons with disabilities)

What I am trying to find here, are examples of women showing how much better they are at some competitive things.

It's like everyone says yoga is the BEST for fitness and spirituality, but there are so few Indian champions in fitness. As to their spirituality...well...the caste system seems very spiritual to me, but not admirable at all...

So no real answers. Gotcha. Thanks for stopping by anyway, Scot Dutchy

Your name reminds me...all the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes...

Women can fuck for hours on end. And never struggle to get an erection.

You have to hand it to them.

So they somehow outperformed men?

Are you saying that women are better at physics, chemistry and medicine? Is that by published works? Or pounds of output? Crowd acclaim?

Or is this just your virtue signalling to your peers?

Your own words: All my life, everyone has been saying that women are equal to men, but in any measured way, it's tough to find that.

These women proved themselves every bit the equal and more of men in their fields.

Too complicated. They were likely team efforts, which had one person taking credit. (as all science must be)

If there were competitive results (such as prizes for the most sound theories after 100 years of scrutiny and criticism) it could be indicative, but all this shows is that there are outliers.

But this kind of answer is about the strongest I could expect. Well, I did get a lot of hilarious virtue-signalling...that was funny as hell...but I kind of thought I must have missed something, and would have it pointed out here.

Is that Godel? Erdos? Newton? Nakomoto? I don't recognize this mathematician...

Is one example of excellence in a field enough evidence for you, of them being 'equal'?

You keep posting exceptions. Great way to not make your point.

Men very regularly, demonstrably and predictably outperform women in the marathon. Women take around 15 minutes more to finish. What is funny here, is that the top womens record is in dispute because she used men to achieve it. If she had run it with female pacers instead of male, would she have run it slower? I don't know, but it looks like pro athletes consider the support of men more valuable somehow, than the support of women.

Your article suggests that women are a minority among 100 nobel awards for literature. I can't decide which side of this you are arguing...
