I like both. I get the sentiment, but it is really sad that men and women's strengths and/or weaknesses are being used to wage a stupid war that serves no one.

In my home we compliment each other super well. My weaknesses are evened out by his strengths and my strengths even out his weaknesses. It's great. Almost like that's the whole point of having a functioning society.

stupid war that serves no one.

It's standard divide and conquer, definitely serves the people in power.

True. Social media - Lemmy included - has really proven how effectively people can be socially engineered into hating "the other" to the point where you can kid yourself into believing you're being tolerant by doing it to the group that is okay to hate.

It makes me feel sick everytime I see it and all the forms it takes.

I guess, but nothing about this really pertains to gendered strength or weaknesses. At least not in reality.

It just shows different ways of being smart and pit them against one another instead of celebrating them.
