So we are left with peeing standing up. LOL

Well, that's a hell of an advantage, as my DW points out when we go primitive camping!

No, Sammie, hon, although I agree that there are exceptions among any group of bio-males or bio-females, in the aggregate, there are differences in strength, intelligence, longevity, and dozens of other characteristics based on genetic sex. There's been too much research done to discount that. Obviously, sex hormones play a critical part in determining those differences during and after fetal development, and that is the source of many exceptions that we see in life. I would agree that the differences are not as great as assumed in the past, but they're not limited to how we pee.

Just as an example, I was part of a team of engineers who developed some of the first mobile navigation systems. I was involved in the human factors aspects of these early systems. Studies found that men and women navigate from point A to point B differently. Women (in the aggregate) prefer step-by-step instructions including landmarks along the way. They generally are not comfortable using visually based vector methods of navigating. This difference shows up in the stereotypical male reluctance to stop and ask for directions. But, men have through evolution developed the ability to find their way using a spacial sense that most women lack. Differences in verbal communications ability that favor women over men (in the aggregate) is another well-established difference.

I think there are hundreds of positive things to be said in praise of men. I just don't happen to want to look like one! LOL.
