Do you agree with me on this one when I say in general men are more powerful both physically and mentally? That they have better brain faculties than women do?
Typically, physically yes. Not mentally at all. Saying men have better brain faculties than women is ignorant. This is where you can't paint with such a wide brush. It depends on the individual and the circumstance.
Men have been used by women to do their fighting for them, protection and making the money to raise their kids for a long time. Now that women have secured more rights in societies they are doing quite well in normally male dominated fields. Politics and business etc.
In fact, the proof that you are wrong about this is the trend is women are gaining more ground in these areas, which suggests it was never intelligence, it was access. Unless you want to state that women are getting smarter and we are getting dumber.
Unfortunately my friend this is just only your opinion. I was not going to bring up the bus incident in the first place but I had no other option to make you believe that even a majority of people can act that way. You'll just retaliate by calling all of them cowards but in my opinion they gave into their instincts. Instincts are very hard things to defy by nature everyone gives in some time.
Yes and as I said a majority of people do all sorts of cowardly things, like turn away help to an old man run over in the street. For joining in gang activities like drive by shootings.
What you are failing to see is that we are evolving and changing. Our rules and norms change with our greater understanding and our instincts evolve as well.
Another thing and this is a big one that you are missing in this equation is that these women have fathers and brothers and male friends who often care very much about them. The men who rape them may not be able to act like modern humans and control their actions but after raping these other mens daughters etc will face the wrath of these other men and women who care about the victim and are acting on their own instincts to protect and retaliate against those who have harmed their loved one. Whether that be jail time or some father cutting of the rapist head, there will be hell to pay.
Personally if my daughter or wife or sisters were raped and I found out who it was they would no longer be living. If the police got to them first, then they wouldn't be living an hour after they got out.
I know a lot of men who feel this way.
Thus is why there are laws against all of these actions, to try and create a more civilized society. But all actions tend to create a equal opposite reaction one the rapist wouldn't like so much I am sure.
Why do you think rapists are targets in jail. Because a lot of those men have daughters, sisters and of course mothers.
You talk about civilizing, well things may have changed from the prehistoric times but this is only like scratching the surface ? On the inside things remain the same and will never change.
Men still lust for the women like they used to but now there are just more obstacles in the path.
If not for the formalities and consequences men would immediately degenerate into the primitive neanderthal he was.
Things have changed, and we are still changing, some may not be able to adapt to the changes and they will end up pushed out, in jail for crimes against society etc etc.
To move forward, we have created these formalities and consequences. Made by us to allow us to leave the caves and advance.
Doesn't mean we should not or will not continue to lust after the opposite sex. In fact, that is important for the continuation of the species, but so are socio-economic concerns which allow for security and growth.
