You're adding parameters to say that women don't have as much endurance as men. Have a race in which everyone has to run the same speed and see how long they can do it. That is true endurance. You can't add parameters and say it's a true test of a single one.

The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes.

"Fastest" does not mean the best endurance. You would be looking at the "longest".

That's a ton of assumption and reductionism. This is frankly insulting. Your primary argument that endurance is meaningless only makes me think that it comes from many current popular sports that rely on fastest speeds rather than what the article was actually trying to convey. Women in the past could have and did hunt, especially given that many in several different cultures were buried with hunting weapons, and the article used the scientific nature of a woman's body to prove her endurance. Just because you discount endurance completely doesn't mean the rest of society is so closed minded.

Better doesn't always equal faster.

Better can equal going further.

Better can equal being more efficient.

Efficient means using less calories to do the same thing.

People will stop consuming meat if dunno. meatpacking plants are full of COVID19 sickness and no one packs any meat.

That's not about prices being too high. It's about people being too sick to do the work...

There must always be as much profit as possible no matter who suffers*

I honestly don't get it. Why do prices have to go up even if wages don't? It seems like some people say that some kind of inflation is absolutely necessary no matter what.

“I did thousands of ultrasounds on animals, determining pregnancy and that sort of thing” Kitchens ascertained. “I think I know mammalian fetal development better than probably anyone here. And in my mind, there’s absolutely no question that’s a life.”

Wtaf. I guess being a vet made this guy god and let him decide that pregnancy is no longer dangerous and never could need to be ended for any reason whatsoever. 🙄

If it's so easy to find, then why don't you tell me? Or can you not find it?

I'm a woman and I don't care. I've been in the bathroom with men before and even had a nice conversation with them. Do I not exist? Who gave you the rights to speak on behalf of all women everywhere?

[–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not saying you haven't, but I've never once heard a woman afraid of men creeping on women in the bathroom. But I'm curious, aside from someone outside the bathroom doors either checking genitals or birth certificates, how exactly would enforcement of a bathroom bill work?

Can't wait until this is an option for my kids. I'll volunteer to help run the club.
