Let's reinforce stereotypes.

Then bust stereotypes up!

What do you think women can't do?
What have you heard women can't do?
Feel free to be sexist.
Or not, as you desire.
Women, feel free to offer a rebuttal.
Share your experiences, or those of the women in your lives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My husband and I have this debate (comically) frequently. According to him, women can't fart, and their poops are invariably dainty.


I was raised to believe that women couldn't think scientifically, that they couldn't process complex thought. That they had an affinity for nurturing rather than reason, and therefore they were incapable of any complex sin. You can imagine my frustration and confusion when I didn't fit into any of the molds such a society offered for a female, and no matter how I tried to fit in, I simply didn't. I began to hate femininity and desire to be something that I simply was not. I dreamed of having the freedom offered any man, and frequently cross-dressed with little success. I soon realized that I could shed the religion and walk into an entirely different life, one free from the shackles that held me into submission.

Strange simply wins this thread out of mere participation.

Women can't make steak!

Idyllic

Kill it. Dress it. Butcher it. Season it. Grill it, RARE. Done with diamond marks.... I can do that.

I can even inseminate it, birth it, feed it, and make it grow before I do the above. (Prey-animals that is, so as not to be accidentally confused with a "cannibal").

Maybe I should add artificially inseminate, so as not to be confused as a mistress or masteress of "bestiality."

o.k. so you've got me on the snow thing, but I'm o.k. with that, I hate snow..... I do love Braveheart though, and who the hell wants to be a rapist, only a rapist would know, I do like power and chains and leather and submissiveness and did I say power.

I love Chuck and Arnold.
I kick ass at steak.
I'm wrong all the time.
I have written my name in the snow.
I think Braveheart is freaking AWESOME, I've seen it 5 times.
I've met a woman charged with raping another woman and one with raping a man. (hint: she used a cock ring to get him hard. She came, he didn't. It was ruled rape)

Women can't escape sexism. Neither can men, but that was not the OP.
Women can't bench press as much as the strongest man.
They can't ejaculate semen.
They have zero control over the sex of their child. Xs only.
Women can't do a Wild Bill impersonation as effectively as a man. I've tried.
It's just not cool...

Niner,your woman drinks you? While under the table with a straight guy named Jack?

Women metabolize alcohol slower than men do, and they suffer the ill effects
of hard drinking sooner.

Yeah, but you drink like a woman .

I've had a lot of girls I've been with out drink me, it's awesome.

During my College Days I was known to be a somewhat Hefty Drinker. On several occasions, over the course of an evening (about 6-7 hours), I have been known to drink an entire bottle of Captain Morgan. A particular rugger from the women's team and I raced on one occasion, and she beat my pants off. Not only did she finish her bottle nearly an hour before I did, but she did it without while maintaining her ability to walk straight and speak in complete sentences.

Women can't be reasonable. Or rational.

But they do have an arguably higher pain tolerance. Child birth anyone?

The problem with this is that it's been found that women are more reasonable than men in certain situations, and that it can be said that men can't be rational either.

Maybe on TeeVee. In real life? Covered in mud and squat-pissing on the side of the road? They're just men who (often) can't ruck as much.

Women are better at parking vehicles with trailers. They don't overanalyze the situation.

Nah. You're missing the point of this thread.

Guys are allowed to, no, supposed to wear manly stuff (warrior garb) and do manly things (like get dirty, perform physical labor, and kill one another).

Let us remember our traditional 1950s sex/gender roles here.

Amen brother.

Women are too emotional and easily offended. This inevitably leads to them becoming irrational in any sort of prolonged debate or argument.

women actually have a lower pain threshold than men on average (ie of course Im not saying every man has a higher threshold than every women)

Women also cannot be:

executioners
slaughtermen

If someone finds a rare example, it will almost certainly be the case that that woman was pyschologically male.

The act of killing (while of course a woman can physically enact it) is a male action.

We have had quite a long discussion about women committing sex crimes before - I believe a conversation around some girls in an old people's homes where some highjinks and horseplay got a bit out of hand but the state claimed an actual sexual assault had taken place. I am more than happy to discuss it again but maybe it would take over this thread if it was done here.

With the greatest respect - these case noodle mentions is not rape. I have looked up "cock ring" on the internet. The fact that this woman "fitted" on on the male and he didnt climax is a rather different thing from being a rape victim. The only way in which a female could conceivably carry out an act which might be consider rape on a man would be with a dildo. In real life, if this has happened 10 times in the history of humanity I would be shocked.

By definition, the act of a man's penis penetrating a woman cannot in any circumstance whatsoever be called rape by the female. I do not care if someone can quote an article that says it is. It is logically, humanly, factually, impossible. The man is the active participant in such an action and the woman is the passive one.

Well, they did, but not because of her....

Does this hold even if the man is unconscious, and the woman is not?

I'd argue that this pertains to the entire human race, really. I've met about 3 people who could admit they were wrong, and 2 of them are women.

Such a thing is hardly possible, but if it happened it still would not be rape. At worth it would be molestation, but it is such an unlikely occurence I think it is pointless to think about it.

I respectfully disagree with you, SF, especially since this thread is partially about busting up stereotypes. I have had my man be a completely passive partner where I put his penis inside me and rode him silly. This not being rape, he was completely passive on purpose. In most states, according to research, the gender of the victim and perpetrator has been removed from the legal definition of "rape" because of these very issues and disagreements. This being the last thing I'm going to say about this topic since it has derailed the OP...

Women can't be guaranteed the same salary for the same job
