Please define the term, "better."
If you want to be selective about your criteria you can support any thesis you want. In fact, it's pointless rhetorical exercises like above that give rise to discrimination and racism. There's no point in arguing over who is better.
If you wish I'll just counter your "thesis" with my own pointless (and politically incorrect) exercise.
Men are better than women because:
- men can parallel park and program electronic equipment with greater consistency
- men are characteristically stronger and more athletic than women
- a single man with a group of women can repopulate a geographical region. However, a single woman with a group of men is less likely to proliferate successfully
- men have deeper, louder voices that can be heard over greater distances
- men aren't encumbered by monthly menses (or the associated emotional lability)
- men don't have breasts that get in the way of using a longbow
- men are characteristically taller than women
- men's fashion is generally less expensive than women's fashion
- men don't as easily lose sex appeal as they get older (yes this is cultural but it's still "better")
- men have won more Nobel Prizes than women
- men make up the vast majority of world leaders
- men overall earn more money than women doing the same job (I'd say that earning more is "better" wouldn't you agree?)
- men don't fuss over breaking a fingernail
(*note: please don't take what I wrote seriously - I was just making a point)

"I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
