Been waiting on something like this happening. I told her I'll be one of the only people in her life that won't bullshit her, because I love her too much. She's 13 and we recently adopted her.
Had a good discussion about how false that statement was, but in a way to not crush her either. Told her most people in her life are gonna feed her politically correct bullshit, things that sound good, but fly in the face of reality. And that the people that try to do that have good intentions, but are doing her a disservice. Comparing women to men is like comparing a sewing machine to a washing machine. They are too different to compare. Women can do so many things a man can't, and men can do so many things a woman can't. And that's ok. We're not here to compete with each other, but work in harmony with each other's strengths. |

Why any woman would settle for equality with man is beyond me.
Complementary, not competing. |

Next, you’ll have to tell her that their menstruations attract bears.

I remember having the same discussion with my daughter when she was 9. She's very stubborn. I had to show her the world records for running, swimming, power lifting, etc to prove that men are typically physically stronger. 4 years later and my girl is very conservative (yet solid muscle). I think I may have created a monster.

Hell looking at the fatties at my local elementary school, there’s a good chance my daughter will be stronger than 87% of the boys for a long time

A woman can absolutely be as strong as a man, but I bet they won’t be.
|

My daughter told me men can have babies. I crushed that notion.

Buy a weight bench and running shoes, you can't let her prove you wrong.

If a woman didn't have a vagina, she'd be pretty much worthless, unless she cooks well

Good luck man. Raising a daughter can be tough given how mean other girls can be. I can't even imagine doing it now, with all this BS.

Don't be deceived at how strong a hold Satan has on our young through the leadership of our country. It is hard hard work to combat the world when social media is raising our kids. I lost my oldest to it and have been fighting my ass off for my other two and we homeschooled them. My son is in his twenties now but my little girl is a fresh teen and we have our hands full with her but putting the work in.

Quoted: A woman can absolutely be as strong as a man, but I bet they won’t be. View Quote Sure. I saw a couple of female Marines that were ripped and were as strong as some male Marines. They were the weakest fat body males, but yea, the top .01% of women were as strong as the bottom .01% of men. |

Women are stronger than men. You try pissing out a kid from your piss hole. (FemalenNurse told me that and she made her point)

Tranny women could be just as strong as men because they are men.
|
|
This is where getting your kids involved in sports or martial arts can help them understand their limitations. My daughter has a 2nd degree black belt in TKD, is 3 years into BJJ and is under no ellusions that women are just as strong as men.

People are different. There is always someone stronger, faster, smarter or more talented. Tell her to put in the work and be the best she can be and enjoy the journey.

In a few weeks she's killing him and getting back to the house a few minutes before him on a 2 mile route around our neighborhood. She could probably be on the track team. |

Quoted: A woman can absolutely be as strong as a man, but I bet they won’t be. View Quote Your comment intrigued me. It's worded pretty carefully. Yes a woman can be as strong as a man, but can never be as strong as men can be. There are some weak dudes out there and pretty strong women. But even those ripped women couldn't win a fight of a mediocre man. |

Whenever this kind of stuff comes up, just REMIND people that literally the only reason women’s sports exists (in the Olympics, college, pro, etc) is to protect women from competing with men, because they literally cannot.

Some women can be as strong as (or stronger than) some men. It’s not a universal.
But that isn’t really the point. We aren’t competing. We compliment each other. |

My sister law was a big believer in "fair" and constantly felt the need to define it when our kids were together.
In my opinion the most important things i taught my kids? Life isn't fair Not everybody can be a winner |

It’s kind of irrelevant since guns have been invented. A bullet shoots just as dead regardless of whether a woman pulls the trigger or a man.

Heard an interview of a woman whos' daughter is a competitive swimmer. She said that at ages 8-10 the girls are so much better than boys that par times to qualify for matches is stricter than for the boys. By ages 13-14 that changes and the girls can no longer compete with/match the boys.
A female tennis pro said the same thing about adults, they just don't have the strength as the men do. |

My 16 year old daughter is absolutely ripped and very strong. She lifts 4 days a week and has trouble finding clothes due to her muscle mass. She is on the HS wrestling team as well. She has two losses against other girls over the past 2 seasons. She chose to wrestle a boy twice and was pinned in the first period both times. She was no where near as strong as he was.

Yep, and that pissed my daughter off that she can't be as strong as men, and is excluded from more hardcore Navy jobs because of it.
She was killing herself ruck marching with too much weight, and lifting too hard. She got a mild case of Rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis (often called rhabdo) is a serious medical condition that can be fatal or result in permanent disability. Rhabdo occurs when damaged muscle tissue releases its proteins and electrolytes into the blood. These substances can damage the heart and kidneys and cause permanent disability or even death. She really got the message when she heard the (satirical) quote from the Army Colonel. Why women can't join special forces She hated it, but she agreed. |

View Quote I find women dont want to compliment anymore. they want this competition to prove how good women really are. that the gap is super close and they are just being kept down from their true potential. my wife doesnt think she is stronger than me at all but ill be damned if she will listen to a thing i say. |

I mean…Rhonda Rousey COULD beat my ass. But the vast majority of women aren’t Rhonda Rousey.

Take your children out of these insidious public INDOC centers they label "Schools."
Your children would be better off reading chapter books at home than going to those places. I guarantee it. |
