go and tell the king that the sky is falling...

Am I bound to eventually be weak? Whether I draw power from that weakness or accept it completely without any hidden agendas, are all women essentially weak? If this is something that I've been brainwashed into by the patriarchal society that I have inevitably been born into, doesn't that also indicate my mental weakness? Or take the game of chess

Except that its not about physical strength

I wasn't saying that it's about physical strength now, but naturally that's what it comes down to. I was saying that despite all the social cultivation of the sexes (which has improved immensly, I know that) if all of those limits were gone, nature has predisposed men to be superior, even if it's only physical, it still affects the psychology. I mention that physical characteristic because it is pretty hard to tell with most mental characteristics whether it's been "nurtured" or "natured", maybe psychologists know more, but I personally don't so I didn't want to pretend to know. Oh yes, childbirth is another. I'm not saying it's bad, but it naturally puts women at a disadvantage
