Who is superior? Male or female

Singapore
August 9, 2008 9:43am CST
Recently I have came across this topic about the value of human beings. The Question is Who is superior in all the terms ? Men or Women ? Some say that in all the ways men are superior to women. most of them gives The holy Bible verses as the proof. Some feminists say that women is superior and at last there are people who says both are equal. but what are the exact answers for these questions?

Hello someonehere13..... According to the latest research by the Raiological Society of North America, here is their scientific evidence thus far, in answer to this age old question. Male brains are on average 10% larger than female brains, yet are 50.8% grey matter. A female's grey matter area is about 55.4%. This is due to the fact that certain brain areas in females have more nerve endings than males. AMOUNT of grey matter, ONLY determines how MUCH thinking is being processed. Males listen usinig only one side of their brain, while females listen with both. On average, the female brain can perform some skills better, while on the other hand, the male brain can execute tasks at a higher level. It is clear that there ARE proven differences. However, in truthful answer to your question.....very little evidence shows any significant difference between the two, as far as INTELLIGENCE goes. Research has successfully concluded, that NEITHER male nor female is "superior" to the other. Even though the male brain is larger, our brains function pretty much the same. Cheers; commanderxo I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

Pardon me......that's RADIO-logical. You see, if I had a female brain, I'd THINK more about spelling correctly. Have a good one. cdrxo

We women let the men think they are superior. That way we can get them to do all the heavy lifting. We let them think they are in control it's easier for women to take over if we let them think it's their Idea! ;0

In BIBLE its given as a women should be submissive to her HUSBAND its not that she should be SUMISSIVE to all men in the world if the verse is given in that manner then surely men are superior , i purely beleive in BIBLE this was the thing which struck me when i read this .All women are equal to man but they should be sumissive to their own man!!!

Its depend upon individual to individual. Its a question of power. Its a nature's rule that who has more power is more supirior. You can say that in today's world men has more power than women. But this situation is changing rapidlly, More and more womens are taking an edge over men in almost every field. If you believe in astrology, astrologist have said that because of the planetry motion women will keep on increasing there strength till 2080. After then men again take there dominance.

Well, in the place I live it is definitely equal, but we know this is not the case everywhere. Women in Saudi Arabia aren't allowed to drive cars because they are deemed less valuable. I personally consider that t be appalling and I 100% support equality. If you look at the time-line of the world men have had more power: specifically in Ancient times.

I think men are superior in some areas, and women are superior in other areas..Like men are physically stronger, but women's endurance is bigger than men's (WE give birth...) but all in all, i truly beleive that both men and women are equals.

i think that the best resonse that the men or the woman not is superior only is diference. I tink that only have diference two person male or female have a lot of diference but think that i cant say who is superior because i think that nobody is superior. the most of men have more force but only woman can have son.

so. are you saying that a woman has value only because she can give birth to a man? rather than through her own qualities.

I think there isn't a true answer to that question. There are some women who are better than a man at some things and there are some men who are better than women at things.But not All men are equal to All women.We are different and everyone is good at something.

Hi someonehere, I think that it is very clear that both are equal and I really don't see many people believing otherwise in the twenty-first century. As far as the Bible is concerned, you have to remember the way people thought in the time that it was written. It was a very different time in history. Blessings.

Without women there would be no children, yet without men there would be none either. Men can work to support the family, women can also work to support the family. Anything useful one gender can do the other can do as well. The genders are equal. However, the abilities of the genders are not equally respected, a man can raise a child and people say "He must be a great guy, he really works hard to care for his child" yet when a woman does the same she's just being a "working mom", when a man becomes a father everyone compliments him on "his" child, however women are rarly complimented on their children even though they are the ones who carried and bled for that child. The abilities of the genders are equal, it' just that they are not yet equally respected. (Just what I see in my daily life, may be different for others but these are the kinds of things I commonly see)

u r correct. in many countries and cultures women are not allowed to do certain jobs cos people think that they are not able to do that even if they have the real ability.. some of them may be even better than men in that particular field.

A single man/woman can be superior to another woman/man but comparing groups is pointless and also sexist, like saying a race is better than another.

The bible does say that the man is head of the woman as Christ is head of the church. Does that make him a superior being? I don't think so. It also states that he is to love his wife as his own flesh. Any man who truly loves his wife will not treat her as a second class citizen. In the scripture mentioned in my first sentence, it is speaking of the marriage relationship only. It is not speaking of the work place or social standing. The bible also states that in heaven that there is no marriage or given in marriage, but we are like the angels (who are neither male nor female.)

I think men and women are both equal because we all created by God and we are all equal in His eyes.I know there are men who acted as superior but it depends how the two understands each other as to what would be their role in the family.But over all i do believe that we are all equal.

It all depends on where you are. Men are superior because they are the head and women support them, but what it boils down is, that each have their own superiority. (do not want to get flamed here) We all need each other. Even though God gave man the headship, there are things that they cannot do. I mean who keeps the house and does the cooking? Us women. Who is the major bread winner and who do the children obey more? The men. Who is able to save us from a vicious killer? The man. Who is able to talk softly so they do not become the vicious killer? The woman. Men are superior, but it does not mean women are inferior. Sounds confusing, does it not?

no one can say who is superior , its only for our god to decide who is superior , its beyond our knowledge to think like that

In reality, there is no "superior" gender. We are equally qualified for most things - some things men are better equipped for and others women are better equipped. But, all in all, we stand as equals. However.....I personally like to think that women are superior for the simple fact that we don't have to try to prove it!!! Men are in constant battle to prove they're "the best" at WHATEVER. Women simply don't see the need to do that. We already know!! HE HE HE

hi friend i believe that no one is superior or inferior its just our thinking as the man will only think that he is superior and same on the other side but if we think rationally then we get the answer that no one is more or less its just our belief.

I do believed that we all have our own Superiority in any terms as a Man of the house i am a Superior in my decision in terms of bringing everything my family have to need in the present time and to a Woman in which my wife is a superior in all of the particular needs in the house like taking over all of the right if the Head of the family is out because I always believe in that what Man can do the woman can do more than the Man like for example for a broken family it is the Mother's rule to take over what are the responsibilities of the Father so if we will have to count it all it is an equal partition to me.
