Women, are we weaker than men by nature?

I have no answer to this question. However, since I’ve been holding for this question in myself for too long, thus I want to ask and share it with you all.

It is no doubt that men are stronger, physically. They can jump higher, run faster, hit harder and even survive longer if they do not have bad habits. When you turn on the TV and start to watch sport. How many of you would like to watch a women’s team play over men’s team. Even with the same media coverage, I will for sure watch the men’s game, for most of the games. Men’s basketball game, football game, swimming competition, gymnastics, etc, all of those games are more excited to watch. It is no doubt that the excitement of watching the NBA game can never be brought out by watching women's basketball play.

In the field of science, even though we have genius female scientists like Marie Curie, it is mostly men that push the world forward. As a woman myself, I am not saying that women are not important, however I am just interested in why there are a significant less amount of women when you go to the top of every field. Mostly, every women cook, however the top cook in world famous restaurants are 90% men. Mostly every women take care of their kids, however the world’s best educators/ professors, etc are mostly men. Even though girls might be just as good as boys or even better than boys in school, however when it comes to life, a tens of years of circle, men always exceed women in some way.

Is it that female has a nature to take care of the family and do not want to put themselves all out in the career? Or is it that women by nature are weaker which leaves male the main force to push the world forward? I think that the answer differs and it might be not possible for anyone to figure it out. It might also be that female and male are by nature different from each other, we have different duties and work to finish in the world, no one should judge which one is better which one is not. We should just live with it.

  1. For me, the major take away from this post comes at the end. That as people we should not be judging one another based on the work we decide to do. After all, what is best for one person is not best suited for another. If a woman wants to work and the man wants to stay home this should not be a problem; just as the other way around should not be a problem if that is the arrangement chosen. I suppose if we were to take anything from this class it would be that women’s rights and human rights overlap quite a bit. If people are free to make their choices, in a perfect world we would not be judging one another for what we wear be it concealing or very revealing or what we decide is best for our lives, whether that be getting married, staying single, being transgender, gay or straight. Hopefully, we will continue to push toward a path of more acceptance and equality not just in the US but worldwide as well.
