  • That’s not my theory. That’s the data.

    One interpretation could be that women were constantly engaged in strenuous endurance activities and so through evolution built up tolerances against exhaustion that at least rivals if not exceeds that of men. And one historical activity that used a lot of stamina and took a lot of tolerance against fatigue was the way in which ancient humans hunted.

    That’s not what a theory is, it’s a hypothesis at best, hope that helped.


  • Women were first allowed to compete in marathons in 1972. In 1972 the men’s record was 2:10:30. The current record is 2:00:35 which is about an 8% difference. Pretty close to the difference between men and women currently.

    The first women’s record was 3:40:22 and the current women’s record is 2:11:53.11 which is 40% faster.

    Once funding for women’s athletics reaches parity and once girls are encouraged into athletics as much as boys, then we will see if the ladies catch up. So far they’re doing a pretty good job catching up, and you can’t look at one current window in time and say you have the answer, you need to look at trends.



  • The way my life’s been going lately I haven’t been able to play any games in a long time and thankfully for my wallet I’ve also stopped buying them. I do however open up Epic every Thursday to pick up the free games. Some of them have been pretty decent and one of these days I’ll get around to playing some of them. Not to long ago was Fallout 1, 2, and tactics which I have always wanted to try. Just have to find a free minute and some motivation and brain power, hopefully all at the same time.


  • You don’t call a lion immoral because lions can’t comprehend morality. That doesn’t mean that humans can do the same actions without being judged morally. Lions can also kill other lions which would be more comparable to murder than your hunting example and still they wouldn’t be held morally responsible and yet humans would if they killed another human. A lot of animals rape too, doesn’t mean it’s moral for humans to do.

    The difference is that we CAN understand morality which is why we are held to moral standards and animals aren’t. This is like, pretty basic stuff and shouldn’t be at all confusing. Maybe read a book or two before having loud opinions?
