Thoughts On "Guys vs Girls"

I don't think there is much of a "controversy" here. Science has already resolved this matter.

Basically, it is unfair to say that men are "superior" in the general sense to women. Instead, both genders were (sob7an Allah) created to complement each other.

Mentally, men tend to be better at mathematics, science and problem solving. Women on the other hand have a much better attention span, multitasking, and organization.

Physically, men are more capable when it comes to laborious or endurance related task. However, women have a much higher pain threshold, and are much better at withstanding the elements than men.

Emotionally, men tend to be more rational, prefering to think about the greater good. While women tend to do what is best for her family and friends, and is more likely to follow her emotions.

Obviously, there is a divine plan involved. Since men generally are the ones expected to go out into the world, provide for their family and protect them from enemies. On the other hand, women are more capable when it comes to rasing youth, caring for elderly or injured, and keeping families together.

So as you can see, it is simply a "lock and key" setup. There is no way you can say that the lock is more important (or superior) to the key or vice versa.

On a final note, to those who comment about women being fixated over "unimportant" stuff. Let me assure you, I am a man and I am pretty fixated on alot of rather useless stuff myself. Just ask yourself how many times did you stop to examine that very hot car or thought to yourself "Damn, these are amazing rims!". Also remember your lunacy when your home soccer team is playing another or your craze over the newest video game you've been playing!!

-- At least, women care about things that improve their own looks!
