Are women inferior to men?

No, women are not inferior to men. Except they are.

Anthropologists and Archeologists claim humans have been on this planet for at least 100,000 and maybe 200,000 years. We have been "civilized" for 10,000 years or less. Whatever instincts we may have encoded in our genes comes from the 90,000 to 190,000 year period before civilization, because 10,000 years is not long enough for anything different to have evolved.

For the last 3 months of pregnancy a woman can't run, carry loads or walk long distances. In the precivilized world she is an easy catch for a predator, and will have difficulty getting the food, fuel and water she needs. In addition, for several years after giving birth mothers need to focus on their more then themselves. The fact humans not only survived this period but spread to populate every environment all around the world is evidence pregnant woman have always had groups of people around them to support and protect them.

The above is more-or-less current science understanding (with gross approximations and over simplifications.) The following is not science but non-scientific observations and speculation.

Who would do this supporting and protecting of pregnant women? It seems reasonable the women's parents would, both for emotional reasons and to ensure the survival of they grandchildren and the continuation of their genes. But parents grow old, and their ability to support and protect wanes. Most (all?) societies give respect to those who protect women and , and punish those who try to hurt them. but this seems to be behavior that has to be learned, and is not instinctual, so it does not seem like non related people in a group would be reliable protectors and providers for mothers and mothers-to-be.

The father of the seems the obvious candidate to be the number one provider & protector. Like the mother's parents it seems her mate would have strong emotional and genetic incentives to see to the well being of the mother of his , and of his .

Except history is full of examples of large groups of men not doing this.

In Europe and the middle east almost every army that marched to war and won committed wide spread r (site will not let me spell out this word), with millions of soldiers over thousands of years not caring what happened to their offspring from these rs. And around the world through out history to modern times, large numbers of men hump and dump women. There are large numbers of single mothers in every country with fathers nowhere in sight. And although all the societies where this male behavior occurs also have men who are good fathers, this seems to be a choice or learned behaviour. There does not seem to be a strong instinct among all men to be good fathers.

Maybe the reproductive strategy encoded in the genes of human males is to get as many women pregnant as possible and not expend any effort in the care of offspring, but just assume some will make it to adulthood. If the male offspring will adopt the same strategy, this behavior carries on.

Human women can not follow this reproductive strategy because biology limits the number of they can have in their lifetime. (The number of a man can have is basically unlimited.)

So...how can a woman get a man to get her pregnant, and then protect and provide for her? Well, if that man can fuck her when and how he wants, give her orders she will obey, and in return she respects and admires him, he will want to, and has incentives to, take care of her. This man will not need to spend time wooing other women to fuck, nor risk being killed in a battle he is fighting in just because he hopes to r (site will not let me spell out thus word) afterwards.

Weather the above is true or not, we observe most societies in the world have been male dominated.

So back to the original point. Women are not biologically, morally, ethically nor legally inferior to men. But there seems to be a genetic argument that it is advantageous for women to submit to the fathers of their . And there is no advantage (genetic or otherwise) for a man to submit to a woman (although some do anyway.) Add to this the fact that the vast majority of women that have ever lived were in a male dominated societies and while there are and have been some equal society there has never been a female dominated society. So women do not need to be inferior to men but somehow many have been and are.
