Today I was hangin' out at Taco Bell w/ a bunch of my friends, who were all guys. They claimed that men were better than women at pretty much everything. Then when I disagreed, they said to me, "Ok, name one thing that women are better at than men." I was stuck. Then they started laughing 'cause I didn't say anything. They were like, "Yeah, all these great geniuses and inventors, like Einstein and all, all men." It made me so mad, and embarassed. They said they were just messin' with me, but I somehow can't believe that. I feel like they meant what they were saying. Should I confront them again? Or should I just let it slide and hope it doesn't come up again(maybe they were just kidding after all).

Women have only been allowed to vote since like 1920. I think if our society was always equaly, you would have seen a woman president already. But you guys are still fighting to be seen as equals (look at the WNBA). This is my poor attempt to explain why they said that, but here's what you do. Dont bring it up again, but if it does, turn the tables on them. Say "why are all the bad people in the world men?" Like osama bin laden, hussein, benedict arnold, ken lay, there's a million of them. But i bet you can hardly name 2 bad women in the world. [ chuckweed007's advice column | Ask chuckweed007 A Question ]

Also you have Mother Nature, Mother Earth, Mother Country. Ships, cars, planes etc are all called she.
Men knock woman drivers but if they want to sell a car it's 'one lady owner'!

Women live longer then men by many years (on average)
women mature and develop faster (speech, comprehension, ect.)
I doubt they have the mental capacity (like most teenagers) to do more than stutter a mumbled "uhhh..your mom" after telling them that basically, girls may not gain higher places in the world, but they live longer, so who wins?
