it's not a conclusion. it's my opinion that we are different, which is pretty obvious to me, therefore we are a complement to each other because of the diffeences. in a somewhat ordered world anyway. </div></div>...but this is an entirely different argument. 'men and women are complimentary' does not imply that 'women are just as strong as men'. </div></div>
does it dis-imply it?
</div></div>It does not. However, my default position is to not believe things unless I am convinced by sound arguments and evidence. We can take the discussion to another thread an stop teef SueSumba video light.

naw, is okay. too subjective. for myself, being complementary doesn't exclude the notion of being as strong as.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SueSumba</div><div class="ubbcode-body">women aren't generally treated well in any society, on account of the bleeding thing no doubt. christianity isn't that great to women, what with us all being the weaker vessel and submitting to husbands and such. </div></div>

sue, what is your take on this passage below, which i think echoes some of your sentiments above:

&quot;Woman’s reproductive apparatus is vastly more complicated than man’s, and still ill-understood. All kinds of things can go wrong or cause distress in going right.

&quot;Western woman is in an agonistic relation to her own body: for her, biologic normalcy is suffering, and health an illness. Dysmenorrhea, it is argued, is a disease of civilization, since women in tribal cultures have few menstrual complaints. But in tribal life, woman has an extended or collective identity; tribal religion honors nature and subordinates itself to it.

&quot;It is precisely in advanced western society, which attempts to improve or surpass nature and which holds up individualism and self-realization as a model, that the stark facts of woman’s condition emerge with painful clarity. The more woman aims for personal identity and autonomy, the more she develops her imagination, the fiercer will be her struggle with nature – that is, with the intractable physical laws of her own body. And the more nature will punish her: do not dare to be free! For your body does not belong to you.

&quot;The female body is a chthonian machine, indifferent to spirit who inhabits it. Organically, it has one mission, pregnancy, which we spend a lifetime staving off.

&quot;Nature cares only for species, never individuals: the humiliating dimensions of this biologic fact are most directly experienced by women, who probably have a greater realism and wisdom than men because of it.&quot;

I must admit, I had to laugh at some of your responses. You responded in true 'Sue-like' form..

Okay, a couple more:

i wouldn't do it any other way. you have to take and give what you got --&gt; the good stuff anyway. religion DOES give people an anchor, </div></div>

1.In light of the above, you said religion gives people an anchor. Are there any other 'benefits' of any aspect of religion that you may have observed?

2. Do you think being religious makes someone 'less intelligent' than someone who is non-religious?
