There are things that women can do, and men can't.
There are things that men can do, and women can't.

But, why does this matter?

Because survival matters to us all.
A short thread on survival.

1/5
Men on average have more muscle mass, greater height, overall size, and physical strength, when compared with their genetic female counterparts.

It's the fundamental reason why in competitive sports such as the olympics, men outperform women by up to 20% or more.

2/5
Another physical difference between M+F becomes apparent with morbid mathematical certainty, every time famine strikes.

The Irish Potato Famine/Holodomor killed millions, yet more men succumbed to starvation than women.

Why did many more women survive?

Fat.

3/5
On average women have up to 40% more fat on their bodies than a similarly dimensioned man (height + weight). That means that women have more stored energy available to them in the form of fat.

Because in lean times, fat means the difference between survival and death.

4/5
Each sex is biologically unique.

Men are biologically built for physical strength.

And women are biologically built for survival. Because the survival of women means the survival of us all.
