I disagree with the bolded part above though. It's false to assume men and women have an equal level of logical reasoning, in general(I know you personally don't belong to the "women side" in that regard). Ever since the first feminist wave people are brainwashed into believing men and women are equal in physical and mental abilities. We aren't equal. We are equal in rights and respect, but not in body and mind. With good reason. Since the beginning of mankind men and women both formed different abilities by nature. These typical male and female abilities were necessary to survive. Both men and women have different qualities. Just because we are equal in rights does not mean we are equal in who we are inside. It's common knowledge that men have more logic, in general. People make jokes about the difference in logical reasoning between men and women but there's truth in it. If i recall it right, I remember reading various studies and tests which show that men have more logic as women in general.
I think logical reasoning is the most important ability when it comes to playing poker. And risk-taking. Without taking risks it's hard to even START playing poker for real money. These are both qualities men excel in (again, in general). I think this is why far less women are successful in poker as men. However, I do think women in general are better in social situations (like you said as well).
You are such an obnoxious idiot. It is pathetic that there are so many people who are even more obnoxious and idiotic than you, but don't let that make you feel better. It doesn't make you not obnoxious or idiotic.
Men have long been thought to possess superior abilities in IQ tests such as spatial reasoning, but these attributes is not believed to be predominantly affected by the subjects' upbringing. For instance, boys are more likely to play sports which often has tactical elements, or board games, or creative games like lego and so on, whereas because of women's role as childbearers they are given dolls and so on. For instance, comparisons between the two genders in other cultures have resulted in different results, although sexism is rampant in most cultures for reasons that are not genetic, but social.
To explain with but one out of MANY reasons: lack of birth control and high mortality rate in early human history led to men being the natural choice for leaders, as women are more vulnerable and are less reliable due to primitive technology and understanding of biology. These tendencies created a tradition of having men in positions of power, and created a culture that reinforces these ideas.
These factors are no longer in play to the same extent in the modern day and therefore the seperation of roles is no longer necessary. These ideas are outdated and primitive. You sir, have primitive thinking.
You're stupid.
