I might get in trouble for this but...A couple weeks ago I toured the GE jet engine plant in Wilmington, NC. As I marveled at the machinery and engineering I whispered to my host, “Men did this.” He knew exactly what I meant.

I love women but it was men that built this country. There was a time when men went out to build things, buildings, bridges, railroads and a lot of it was done to impress women and probably half of it would not have been accomplished if it were not for women. Notwithstanding, men did it.

Best chefs-men. Best authors-men. Best musicians-men. Best artists-men. Best doctors-men. Best scientists-men. Best mathematicians-men. Best athletes-men. Best engineers-men. Best architects-men. Best soldiers-men. etc. etc. etc.

The other thing that struck me during the tour was the attach on the achievers that is taking place in this country. And any attach on achievers is an attack on men.

LOL!

Your ignorance of how this nation was built is enormous. Pioneer women did not hide inside the family cabins. They worked alongside their menfolk. No family farm or ranch could function without all family members pulling together.

I am very much not a feminist, and I pretty much agree with your paragraphs 1, 2 and 4. I have a bit of difficulty with your 3rd one.

In engineering/architecture/physics/math men tend to excel with a few notable exceptions. It is the way God designed you and it’s a good thing.

In artistic and verbal talents, I think we’re pretty equal -arguably in verbal, women have the edge, but often not the ego or ambition. Intuition/Multi-tasking/non-linear thinking are also a woman’s forte’ (and frustrating for the guys around us).

I’ll probably get in trouble too, for agreeing with some of what you said.
