CMV: Men are better than women

It is hard to know where to start with this one. I am a person who makes logic based arguments, but your starting point is religion not logic. That being said, I will try.

Starting off with the idea that sawing off someone's hand for disrespect is an extreme position for most of the world. It goes far beyond the "eye for an eye" standard. A lifelong handicap as a result of a few words that caused offense is not an honorable way to treat those one is supposed to care for. There is a quote that has been attributed to various people, which is "a society is judged based on how it treats it's weakest members".

There is a problem with generalities with your position. It comes across that ALL men are above ALL women. If that is truly then intent then only a few examples are needed to disprove the position. The person who held the Guinness World Record (until the category was retired) was a woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_vos_Savant

While my IQ is not in that category, I have been a member of Mensa (high IQ society) at the top 2% of the IQ scale. I also have enjoyed a 20+ year career in technology. Holding my own with men from around the world who have come to work at my famous employer.

If you are considering generalities the I recommend this article, which indicates that mean and women are generally equal in IQ ranges. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/beautiful-minds/201207/men-women-and-iq-setting-the-record-straight

Men typically have better performance in spatial reasoning and women typically have better performance in verbal skills. Those differences do not mean that one is better than the other.

In business, companies with female CEOs consistently beat the average. http://www.triplepundit.com/2014/07/female-ceo-led-businesses-consistently-post-solid-financial-returns/

While no one will deny that on average men are physically stronger than men, women have an advantage with endurance at the marathon and ultra-marathon distances. Also, women have statistically longer lifespans than men. https://www.cmu.edu/CSR/case_studies/women_live_longer.html
