This article by Jerry Rui gives 5 reasons by women are the superior sex. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
1. If you haven't noticed this yet, you should pay more attention. All that BS about men being the head of the family goes straight down the drain. Take this example, the man always has to get the women's permission before doing anything, like a child would to his mother. That's why dad's have a "den" where they can do whatever they want because the rest of the house is controlled by the wife.
2. The kids are bound to side with their mom if an argument arises. The guy is always stuck doing whatever the woman tells him to and have to live with the decisions the woman makes. I don't know about you but retreating to a hideout to escape being bossed around and having to deal with your wife's decisions isn't very leader-like.
3. A possible reason for a male's reluctant comeback is because they don't want to harm the woman. Whatever a man may say to his wife he still cares for her and therefore don't want to hurt her. On the other hand, women really can't hurt men so they can be quite violent towards them and still not injure them (too badly).
4. I'm not sure but I think guys need women more than they need them. Women can take care of themselves whereas men can't. Anyways men want women more than women want men so it's easier for a woman to find another man.
5. Women can create life. What more needs to be said? Women can produce something inside their bodies and let it out and it'll be breathing and alive. That's a wonder to behold. Scientists haven't even been able to produce life while women have been doing in for ages.

Who's supporting who?
Men are more likely than women to be unemployed.
According to research by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, for at least the year 2008, men have consistently had a higher unemployment rate every month. In November of this year, 6.7 percent of men were reportedly unemployed over the age of 20.
For that same age group, women were at 5.5 percent. And every month, the percentage of men that are unemployed has been growing. Women have stayed at around the same level since the study began.
If men keep this up, eventually it's going to be the women with the title of breadwinner.

Laugh a little...
Well, for some entertainment, I am posting just a few links. These links will lead to different joke pages where you can read all kinds of jokes over the battle of the sexes. Some might lead toward the male side, some to the female. All will be funny. Some might be in bad taste, and I apologize in advance for that. Please do not hold it against me if you find some inappropriate; I did not write them.
Enjoy!

Read them like a book...
Women are more cultured than men. Always will be.
Why?
Because we read more.
Of course, that's not the only reason why. Women also appreciate art more and watch more culturally inspiring visual works (musicals, plays, etc).
But I'm going to talk about the reading portion.
Just a few years ago, a study was done in Britain to decide which gender read more. Women won by far. Women, on average, read at least 9 books a year. Men are lucky if they read 5.
At a young age, little girls are more likely to sit still for long periods of time compared to boys. And, as we all know, reading is a very sit-down-for-long-periods-of-time hobby. Women also lean toward the emotional side, which is a reason for the love of reading. Women also have an easier time reading, taking in the information, and thinking about it later. I guess that also leads to me saying that women are smarter...but that's another blog for another day.
So, as I said at the beginning, women are more cultured due to their love of reading/books. That's another loss on the guys' end.

Girls will rule the world...
Mamas are going to start wanting just little girls. Eventually boys will just be wiped out. Of course, then all of humanity will be wiped out...but that's irrelevant.
Boys are harder and more stressful to raise.
Boys are born with less developed hearing abilities. That means not only can girls hear better, therefore avoiding getting yelled at, but they can also hear the tone better when they are being yelled at. So, girls know that "DON'T DO THAT!" actually means don't do it.
Boys are also more likely to have ADHD or bipolar disorder.
And obviously, boys are more likely to get hurt. They are riskier. That means more bumps, bruises, and doctor visits for mommy to handle. Moms have to keep a closer eye on their little boys.
Boys don't pay attention to begin with...and they lose it quickly anyway.
So, overall, boys are harder to raise. Boys are the younger version of men. Therefore, men lose again.

Gettin' the degree...
While I'm definitely a hardcore Purdue fan, some credit for this post is going to our enemy to the south.
IU's business research center did a study that was posted just days ago (November 29) in the Chicago Tribune. In this study, they interviewed men and women to determine which gender had the more college degrees.
Women won, of course.
25.7% of females interviewed in the 35-to-44 age group had a bachelors degree or higher. Only 22.8% of males had the same degree or higher.
In the 25-to-34 age group, 28.1% of women had the degree. In the same age group, only 23.4% of men had their degree.
What does this say?
While it does not say that women are necessarily smarter, it says that women try harder. Women are more willing to push themselves to further their education rather than just sit back and live with what they have. They want to gain the education and degree needed to get good, well-paying jobs.
Also, it probably has to do with women striving to gain respect. After years of not having the rights to do pretty much anything, women are trying to fix it. We're getting our respect when and where we want it. And getting a degree helps us to do that.

Penny for your thoughts...
Women are more financially capable than men.
I stumbled across an article written by Janet Bodnar, Deputy Editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance. It is a piece about how women and men handle money.
If you read the first page, it actually makes it seem as if women are much less capable. It says that women have far less confidence in their abilities to invest in stocks. It also says that polls of women have very high numbers of not understanding financial things (like mutual funds).
However, on the first page, it also says how women are the ones in the household who will most likely pay the bills, balance the checkbook, and maintain the family budget. And, when dealing with investments, women are actually better. They may not have a lot of confidence in their investments, but their turn-out is usually better. Women are more likely than men to research their investment ahead of time. They will look at the trends of the stock and make an informed decision on whether or not to invest. While it may take them a while to commit to it, they will be very informed.
Also, men invest more often. While that makes it sound like men invest more because they are better at it, it is actually just because they are overconfident in their abilities. They jump into the investments, and the turn-out probably won't be as great as they expect. Also, a man's overconfidence in his abilities makes him make many mistakes with his investments. Women, since they research and think it through first, will not make as many mistakes.

You're only as old as you feel...
I was searching around the internet and found the following quote:
"It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy steaks."
What does this mean to me? Well, really, it's just a quote about getting old. How does it relate to what I wish to discuss? Well...it really doesn't. It relates in only a small way because I'm going to talk about the differences in getting older...
Well, one difference.
When a man gets older, he looks for younger women. The older he is, the more he probably craves the youth of a pretty woman. However, as he gets older, the younger women desire him less. And less. And less.
With women, however, as they get older, younger men want them. Have you ever heard of a "cougar?" A cougar is a middle-aged woman...around 35+...who prefers to hunt, rather than be hunted. For some reason, younger men find this incredibly appealing. Ever heard the song "Stacey's Mom"? Well, this is exactly what that is referring to.
Older women are more experienced, which drives younger men crazy. I'm not trying to say that every young man wants an older woman, but some do.
Women are wanted at any age. Different ages of men want different ages of women. A young man will go after an older woman. A young man will go after a young woman. An older man will go after an older woman. An older man will go after a younger woman.
Women...well...unless the girl is a gold digger, she will most likely not go for an older man.
Sorry, guys.

You've heard it from the kingdom...
United Kingdom, that is.
According to an article on a news site from the United Kingdom, women are better at cooperating than men. In a study, women cooperated twice as often as men. This leads to better payoffs. When competing, it is better to all go together to reach the common good rather than all going against the others for he same ending. More is accomplished and people get along better.
The article also discusses how women are more likely to abandon strategies that have previously failed. That means that if they try something once, and it doesn't work, they probably won't try it again. Women know how to not waste time. If something always works, they will probably always try it. It makes things more efficient.
Pretty much, women are more efficient when it comes to solving problems. They cooperate and finish faster. They don't retry the same failed attempt over and over.
And, very importantly, it's obvious that these studies were done in the U.K. That means that not only are women in the United States better, but they are better all over the world.

Understanding...
Alright, everybody, time for another sharing experience.
I came across this site while writing my online community analysis. It is written by a clinical, medical and family psychologist named Michael Connor. He is aware of the battle for equality. However, does not focus on that at all. He focuses on the differences. He does not state if one is better than the other.
While this does not necessarily back up my viewpoint of the superior sex at all, it does back up all my points of why I think women are superior.

Put your hands up...
Be careful, boys...you might end up in jail someday.
According to sociologists, young men are more likely to become criminals. It's not anything against them...it's just fact. And there are a few reasons for it...
Men have higher testosterone levels than women. Duh, right? Well testosterone causes increased levels of aggression. That means men are more likely to be in physical fights and use weapons against others. ...FYI, that's what lands you in jail.
Men also have a tendency to steal more than women. Not necessarily more often, but more in quantity. Women tend to steal just what they need to get alone. Men steal as much as they can. It's kind of a show-off thing.
Men are very competitive creatures. That goes along with the show-off thing. Fights escalate when neither guy wants to back down. That is when men sometimes become violent.
I am in no way saying that all men are going to become criminals someday, but men are just more likely than women to commit a crime.

Battle of the Sexes
There is a board game that I highly recommend getting. It's called Battle of the Sexes.
To put it simply, the point of the game is to test how much you know about the opposite sex. The questions would be easy if a female was answering female based questions, but they become much more difficult when a female has to answer male questions or males have to answer female questions.
The game is created for 2 or more players, ages 12 and up. It can be a great game for a group of couples or just a group of male/female friends. The first person or team to move all 4 of their pawns across the board wins the game.
It is the ultimate game to determine who is the superior sex.

Follow the Leader...
In almost every class, regardless of whether it is elementary, middle school, high school, or college, there is some type of group work. For as long as I can remember, every time I've been put into a group, I've become the leader. Some of the classes we actually had to assign a leader, and in some classes it was an unspoken agreement. I have never failed as a leader. I've never had any complaints against me.
Women should be in charge more often.
Studies are showing that women have more effective leadership skills. Women are better at reading facial signs to determine how their message it coming across to the rest of the group. They are more intuitive.
The best bosses/leaders are ones who are inspirational and encouraging. Sorry, guys, but those characteristics are more commonly associated with women. A teaching style of leadership is the most effective. Men usually use more of a "punishments for bad jobs, rewards for good jobs" approach. It is just not as effective.
Women are also less motivated by self-interest, they are more motivated by what they can do for the company they are working for. This also makes companies want to hire, or more-so, keep around, their female employees.

See you in heaven...
in about 5 years!
In 2004, a study was done to determine the live-span of men versus women. Women, on average, lived 5.2 years longer than men. This can be for a number of reasons.
1. If a man has a heart attack or any other cardiovascular disease, he usually develops it in his 50s or 60s. Women, on the other hand, due to an iron-deficiency, on average do not develop these problems until their 70s or 80s!
2. Men are more likely to participate in dangerous, risky, and violent behavior. Men are in car accidents more often and more homicides involve men.
3. According to a TIME magazine article, men smoke more, have diets that lead to high cholesterol, and are worse at dealing with stress.
4. Women also have an evolutionary drive to pass on their genes. Also in this, women are more likely to have a need to stay healthier to bear children.
Whatever the reason is, women live longer than men. Sorry guys, but women are not only better at things now, but they will be for years after you pass on.

Scratchin' Them off the To-Do List...
When I need to do a bunch of different things all in one day, I do the obvious thing: create a to-do list. Sometimes its helpful...sometimes its annoying. I love when I can do multiple things at one time. Kill two birds with one stone. Not literally, of course...though I do hate birds.
Multi-tasking is something women have to do everyday. Mothers have to be able to do household work while taking care of their children. Men have a tendency to follow one job until it is completed, while women can do multiple things and accomplish more in less time. Of course, women sometimes use this skill for the worse (applying make-up while driving...), but it is still a very nice skill to possess.
Women are betting at multi-tasking. On a site about gender studies, it says that women actually use more parts of their brains when given a wide variety of tasks. Women have a larger corpus collossum, which deals with communication in the brain. The two hemispheres of the brain communicate better because of the large size.
There you have it. Women are better at doing more than one thing at a time. And they can do it better. Of course, that part is just my opinion.

What's your name again?
Every once in a while, I ask my boyfriend a question. It's always the same question.
"When is my birthday?"
Now, at first, he never knew when my birthday was. He would usually get the month right. However, he'd give a date that was actually just a few days before or a few days after.
This is always turned right back on me. But I know his birthday. I've known his birthday since the first time he told me his birthday.
Women are better at remembering things. I'm not just saying that based off of my birthday example. According to an article on USA Today, women are better at remembering emotional-type things and even autobiographical type things. This means that when a couple gets in a fight, women are more likely to remember the details (and hence hold the grudge).
The actual underlying mechanisms for why women can remember things more than men are unknown. However, hormones can have an effect on memory. For example, estrogen enhancements improve long-term memory. Obviously, women have plenty of estrogen.
To put it all simply, women are better at remembering pictures, words, objects, and everyday events.
And just so everyone knows, my boyfriend now knows my birthday without hesitation. They can be taught ;-)

Driving me crazy...
Some of my male friends are hardcore fans of the phrase, "women drivers, no survivors."
I, on the other hand, do not agree. I've personally never been in a car accident. My mother would actually sleep in the car while I was driving, which she would NEVER do with my older brother.
Women, on average, pay less for their car insurance. Males tend to be a little more daring while they drive; they drive a little faster, take more sudden turns, and multitask like crazy. My boyfriend typically drives with his knee...which most females would never do (based somewhat on the fact that it is more difficult for us with our height differences).
According to an article on insurance.com, men are even more likely to die in car accidents than women. They also tend to break the law more...and speeding/wreckless driving are both breaking the law. To put it simply, women are just better drivers.
Now, if you continue reading that article, you'll notice that it starts up with some statistics of the number of aggressive women drivers increasing. That may be true. Someday, women might turn out to fall below men on the driving records. But for now, women still win. Sorry, guys.

P.S. The main guy friend who loves the phrase, "women drivers, no survivors", had a rude awakening. After continually making fun of me and other female friends, he was driving to school and as he pulled into the parking lot, he hit another guy's car. Very lightly. And his bumper fell off. Karma.
I, on the other hand, do not agree. I've personally never been in a car accident. My mother would actually sleep in the car while I was driving, which she would NEVER do with my older brother.
Women, on average, pay less for their car insurance. Males tend to be a little more daring while they drive; they drive a little faster, take more sudden turns, and multitask like crazy.

What is that...?
I know practically nothing about football. This afternoon, I was watching the purdue/notre dame football game with some friends on t.v. Randomly, I'd lean over to my boyfriend and ask him a question about what was happening on the screen. He'd explain it to me and leave it at that.
My mom went to a party with a few of her friends. One of her friends complained to a few guys they were with that she had no idea how to do the electric slide. The guy got up and showed her immediately how to do the dance so that she could enjoy herself. My mom told me that this same woman had been doing the electric slide gracefully the week before.
A common one is from Mean Girls. Cady (Lindsey Lohan) wanted to get the attention of hot guy, Aaron Samuels. What did she do? "Uh, I don't get this...can you help me?"
Being ditzy helps girls out. Need some attention? Ask a question. Pretend you don't know. Or, in the case of my football inexperience, ACTUALLY don't know. Girls can get away with that. They can ask the DUMBEST questions and no one really thinks much of it. She may get some rolling eyes, but that's about it. A female can be completely uninformed on a situation and nothing bad will happen. It's life.

Tide-to-Go?
I went home this weekend, so I am typing this from the comfort of my bed in my hometown. My high school was having it's homecoming, and I had to be present to pass on the crown to the next homecoming queen ('07 homecoming queen, baby!). After the football game was over, my friends and I went to a party. During the laughing and talking and snacking, a male friend of mine realized that he had gotten BBQ sauce on his bright, white polo shirt. It wasn't something that was horribly noticeable, but it was noticeable to him and to the people there when it was pointed out.
So what did he do? He asked if someone had a tide-to-go pen. He was going to go ask the mom of the girl whose house we were at if she had one. We stopped him. Why? Because we knew that she would laugh in his face just like we did. Yes, there was a possibility that she might have a tide-to-go pen, but it was the fact that a male was asking for one. A guy was SO concerned with his appearance that he wanted to fix his small problem.
Now, if a girl had spilled something on herself, she could have made a big deal and no one would think any differently about her. Girls can be so wrapped up in their appearance, and no one will give it a second thought. The minute a guy overly worries about his physical appearance is the minute he is considered gay by all his close friends. And possibly some strangers.

“No, I’m not being mean. It’s just my time of the month.”
You’ll never hear a guy say that. If you do, something might be wrong with the functions of his body and he might need medical care immediately. While the side-effects of PMS are usually quite unpleasant for most females, they can definitely use them as an excuse. No man is going to fight against a woman claiming pre-menstral syndrome. If he does, he’s really got some guts. If the girl really does have PMS, he is going to get a VERY nice talking to.
Girls, if you are in a terrible mood, how many times have you heard a guy say, “she’s probably PMSing”? I’ve heard it a lot. Guys usually think that if you are having an off day, it can be blamed on your monthly visitor. While that can be annoying if your bad mood are ALWAYS blamed on PMS and NEVER blamed on something the guy may have done, it can also be a blessing.
If you just wanna be grumpy for a day, but don’t have any particular reason for it, girls can pull this one off. “I’m just in a bad mood” doesn’t cut it for most people as an excuse. “I’m just PMSy” does. Always.
And, another great thing that you can blame on PMS…food intake. “I’m CRAVING chocolate. It’s my time of the month…it makes me feel better.” Isn’t that a blessing in an odd form?

Guy Try
Well, I am a very fair person. Therefore, every week I plan on having "Guy Try of the Week." This will consist of me explaining an argument most males would use for something that makes them better. I won't leave anything out; girl scouts honor. (I really did used to be a girl scout, promise!)
Of course, then I will come back with my own side of it.
For my first week, I will do something that most men always say when it comes to why men are better. Pregnancy. It cannot be denied; women can get pregnant and men never have to deal with that risk. Yes, they have to deal with the risk of their girlfriend or wife getting pregnant. However, they don't have to deal with the pain and weight gain that comes with pregnancy.
There is an intense amount of pain that comes with giving birth. Women have to deal with a baby coming out of a place that, well, is not the size of a baby. There is nine months full of aches and the unpreventable pounds added to undesirable places.
I guess I'll give this one to the guys.
Wait.
While women do gain a lot of weight while they are pregnant, they have an excuse for it. Men do not have a reason for their beer bellies other than the fact of drinking too much beer and exercising too little. When a woman is pregnant, if she craves something, she can eat it. Want to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar? Go for it, you're pregnant. Another great thing is that the woman is straight-up catered. "Oh, you want that jar of peanut butter on the highest shelf? I'll get it for you, since you're pregnant." A girl can mention to her boyfriend that he is gaining weight and needs to go to the gym...if a girl is pregnant, she CAN'T go to the gym. It might hurt the baby.
And the pain that comes with giving birth? It just proves how strong a woman is. No man will every go through that pain. It could be the worst pain in the entire world; men will never know. Women are beasts (in a good way).
My favorite part? When pregnant, women get an overload of estrogen. Which means an intense amount of moodiness and emotional outbursts. Even if a woman is not feeling extra moody...get this...SHE CAN FAKE IT! Being pregnant is an excuse to let out all of your frustrations. The woman will also not get yelled at...I mean, come on, she's pregnant...she's emotional...
Sorry, guys.

We were drunk...
Sometimes, you don't plan for how things are going to happen. It might not be your intention. But when drinking alcohol, sometimes things can get a little crazy. You might make a complete fool out of yourself. You may say some inappropriate things. Maybe you might kiss someone that under normal circumstances, you would not.

One of my favorite songs right now speaks of just that. Katy Perry's song, I Kissed a Girl, talks about getting a little wild and kissing another girl. Does anyone see anything wrong with that? Nope, not at all. It is clearly explained that she was a little tipsy when it happened. She doesn't regret it, and that's okay. That's how most girl kissing girl stories are. I dare someone to find a man who would be against a girl kissing another girl. There may be a few, but they are hard to spot. Girls don't usually say anything against it. I mean, come on, they were drunk.
Imagine this situation.
Jim is having a party. Bob was at the party. He had a few beers and one too many shots. He is going a little crazy: stumbling around, laughing uncontrollably, etc. After everyone else leaves the party, Bob stays to play a few rounds of COD4 with Jim. Jim gets overly excited when his kill to death ratio is 35 to 3. Bob gives him a congratulatory high five with a hug. Still a little tipsy, they go a bit overboard and a peck on the lips is involved.
WHOA!
HOLD UP!
Get my point? Two straight men kissing is not accepted by most people in society. This is not anything against homosexuals; I am JUST talking about straight men. People cannot just pass that off with, "they were drunk." It just does not work.

What are you wearing?!
What is wrong with the following image?
Answer that question however you might like. Now...what is wrong with the next picture?
Other than the crazy amount of alcohol this man must have been drinking, did you notice what he was wearing? Of course you did. If you didn't, your vision might be slightly impaired, which then I must ask why you are even reading a blog. The male in the photo is wearing a very unflattering dress, complete with heels, garters, and a beautiful hat.
So, what's my point?
What does this mean?
In the first photo, the punk princess was wearing a tie, wallet chain, and other things typically associated with male clothing. However, she looks hip. Avril sporting a tie became a fad in girls everywhere. I don't believe that wearing floral print dresses will ever become a male fashion statement.
So, what's my point?
Woman can pretty much wear whatever they feel like wearing that day. If they are most comfortable in ratty jeans and a band tee, they can go out in public and not get any weird looks. If a male goes outside in women's clothing, he will either be treated as a homosexual or a drunk. Either way, mothers will be taking their children to the opposite side of the street while scolding them for staring. It's just not socially acceptable.
This is something that has changed over time. It used to be that women always wore dresses. Things differ greatly now. Women can wear dresses, pants, shorts, sweats, etc....whatever might be suiting their mood. Men, however, went from wearing traditional male clothing...to wearing traditional male clothing. There is no getting around it.
What does this mean?

Superior Sex
People always wonder about the battle of the sexes. Are men better? Are women? Well I am here to tell you that the battle will never be won. Arguments will continue on this topic until one sex is extinct. However, I can guarantee you that women have the advantage in life most of the time. There are so many things that women can do that men most certainly cannot. Not necessarily that it may be illegal for a male to do something, but that it would go against what is normally accepted in society.
As you probably expected, I have been a women my entire life. Believe me, after so many years of experience, I can pretty much tell you exactly what a women can get away with. There is definitely a lot. No one can tell me that I don't know what I am talking about, since everything I write about will be something I have either experienced or have researched in depth. I will be writing 2-3 times a week most likely. Each entry will be based on a different thing that women can get away with that men cannot; it will probably be based either on society or legal issues.
I have always been quite interested in the differences in genders. I have also been fascinated by just how differently people are treated based on whether they are socially acceptable in a skirt. A lot of my close friends try to tell me differently, but I simply do not listen to them. In my mind, women are the superior sex.
