    Or god forbid a female gamer conform to the setting they want to play as and play as a manly man.

    I'm just as deeply insulted that space marines aren't anorexic, long haired recluses with a need for glasses. The discrimination is hurtful and I have rights.

    Considering it's suspect at best if you can play a female in any faction I think the comic still has a point.
    Of all factions only two would have females, Imperium, who have been all but confirmed as being sausage only, and Eldar who haven't even been seen yet and are still all but confirmed as being sausage only.

    When asked if females would appear at all in the game they paused before straight out changing the topic. Bare this in mind after they had already spent most of the time saying 'No Comment' to almost everything else.

    So maybe ya'll can clear something up for me that I've never understood about the imperial guard.

    I was under the impression that the guard had as many chicks as it had dudes. I mean, look at Cadia, everyone serves in the army regardless of gender because tits don't stop you from pointing a lasgun at someone.

    And yet, I'm hard pressed to think of any female guardsmen.

    The only other "factions" I can think of that don't care about gender are the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Inquisition, the Tau, the Necron, and the Tyranids.

    You know, if they throw the nid angle as raising a "pet" nid to become a formidable destroyer of worlds, that might work... Or maybe that's sexist...

    Honestly, I kind of agree with the comic in some senses.

    And personally I've NEVER seen what was so wrong with female Space Marines. I agree with the fact that they don't exist simply because it's in the fluff and that's the way it is... sure, yes, can't fault that.

    But I mean I don't understand the WHY of making it like that, or why so many people are so adamant about not seeing it change. Worse crimes and bigger changes have occured in the fluff (way bigger changes). Is gender really that much of an issue for some people?

    Pic not intended to cause rage (it's the cover to one of the Starcraft comics Blizzard released about the War Pigs) but perhaps it will help illustrate my point. I don't see why this is a bad thing, but I'm almost certain someone will use the argument "Well hurr durr you wouldn't be able to tell anyway".

    Sure. And originally you couldn't tell Samus Aran was actually a woman. In spite of that she's pretty popular.

    Most regiments recruit men only if they can help it, I think. Even the Tanith 1st which has some of the more famous female guardsmen in the fluff only has them because they were drafted from a city that was utterly destroyed.

    Cadia probably does have a higher percentage of women serving but you never see any models because it's cheaper for GW to just crank out the same male models over and over.

    There are women in the guard, all female regiments are canon, but they're still far outnumbered by the number of men in the IG

    Their exact words, no explanation on what that meant and questions on what it meant were ignored.

    So either Vigil thinks Sisters; don't fit the theme of 40k, which is crap.
    Don't fit the theme of the game (Warp storm enshrouding system abates and Imperium go back in to reclaim it once again), which is crap as Sisters would be part of the first wave of troops.
    Don't fit the 'theme' of racial balance not being as big a tank as marines, not as big a support as psykers/inquisition. This starts to hold water, Sisters would be tank-lite buffing themselves with faith to do more damage or soak more damage.
    But that is working on the assumption that this will follow the same 'rock-scissor-paper' combat mechanic employed by every other MMORPG in existance (Which Vigil seems to want to really make us believe they are not doing, wanting to be unique) which then brings up why no Sisters then, they WOULD be pretty fucking unique considering GW themselves don't even want them around anymore.

    I alsways figured them to be, in an MMO, the burst version of a space marine. While a marine can do a lot of damage over time, the Sister does a little less normally/have a bit less health and armour with sudden bursts of huge damage/invunrability than marines can't do.

    Not that poster but you're not very bright at all, and you're trying to force analogies to mislead others into believing your incorrect statements.

    Tyranids, Necrons and Orks are sexless. If you dispute this you are uneducated or troll.

    You can try to argue Orks have a "male gender", necrons and tyranids are still genderless, though you could try to say Necrons lean a little towards the masculine side in the case of Lords in the video games. For their voices.

    Otherwise they are skeletons, skeletons are not male or female.

    Now that we all know that she's a bombshell, we all have a hard-on for her, that's how it works.


    Now, something else: Space marines are not actual super-soldiers in space. They are super-knights in space, and except for that Joan of Arc stuff, knights are all male.

    Sisters are nuns, nuns are female

    It's not a fucking moot point because that was the whole point of the big reveal.

    Samus was referred to gender neutrally in the fucking instruction manual because it was meant to be a surprise.

    It doesn't matter that it was '86.

    The armor was gender neutral.

    Whoa, the protagonist's a girl!

    Cool. And the gaming world didn't fall apart.

    Now you can't tell me it's a bad idea just because you can't tell it's a girl on SIGHT. That shit doesn't matter, at all.

    Look at Tex from Red vs. Blue.

    Or any of the female Spartans in Halo.

    Basically, the point is there are many popular game series' that don't hyper sexualize women in power armor and it still works reasonably well. You don't have to fit someone into a power armor corset ala SOB's for it to be hip.

    However, Space Marines live in 40kland, were they are breed in a ritualized manner. They are all males because it's on their religion, their way of breeding new marines, the Emperor's method.

    You will also find several characters in the same universe that share several traits with the Spess Mehreens and are female, like the Sisters of Silence and the Sisters of Battle.

    A shitty argument that is fundamentally wrong.

    There was at least ONE well known female knightly MILITANT (allowed to bear arms) order known to have fought off a Saracen attack in Spain. Members of the order were so revered they were granted the same rights as men when in council.

    Beyond that, ever since Le Morte de Arthur you've seen female knights in the myths -as well-, as penned by those authors that made the whole romantic notion of knightly chivalry popular in the first place.

    I think it's because it's the same on the other side of the fence. No one can provide a good reason why there SHOULDN'T be female Space Marines, if only because some of the fiction that popularized the whole concept of "Space Marines" before 40k was even out of diapers had them and people liked it just fine.

    You know, the director of Aliens had the cast read Starship Troopers as well.

    That didn't stop him from having at least three female marines with names AND lines in the movie.

    IE, far more iconic and well known IP's have succeeded in larger measure WITH them than 40k has WITHOUT them. It remains a relatively small and unpopular item in the grand scheme of things.

    There is the reason. It's a damn good reason.

    I've got no problem with female guardsmen, adventurers in fantasy games. Hell I've played as female in games before. But Space Marines are fluffed to be all male.

    There is the reason. The guy who created Space Marines made it so that only men can become Space Marines. If GW went back and edited that and made the huge retcon that there were female Space Marines...well I'm sure that'd piss off more people than please people.

    I've rather got a huge problem with this.

    Power Armor, as the fiction describes, is a suit of armor that uses robot muscles and what not to move around.

    Which means your roided up melon biceps are going to waste because a machine is moving the adamantium suit for you.

    And yet we don't see women in power armor ever, really. With the exception of Samus and the X-com games. You'd think developers would be all over that...

    Think of your average female in a game about war. She's the stereotypical bad ass, because nothing else would make any sense. She has to be strong to keep up with the guys, etc. But the power armor should be the equalizer in the same way that mecha suits are; anyone with the proper training can handle them, so you could display an entire range of characters, not just females.

    We see some of that in games like Half Life or Dead Space, where doods who would normally be weak scientists are made powerful by their armor. The same mechanic should work for a girl too. In fact, you could replace Isaac Clarke with an Isabella Clarke and tell a more compelling story for it, since then stomping all those baby zombies would hold more symbolism and etc.

    But now I've veered far too heavily into /v/ and not /tg/. My apologies.

    Space Marines aren't (despite their name) just Space Marines, they are bio enginerid men. There are bio enginered women that are even stronger than then, but for some reason the Empra decided to make the generic and shitty mass produced versions all male when he did the rituals.

    It has to do with the Imperium stagnant state with religious dogma for why the only people who mutate into ugly-as-sin super soldiers are men.


    Again, want female space marines? Check Sisters of Battle. They do everthing they do except look overall cooler and have holy magic.

    The only reason they aren't popular as shit on the tabletop is because GW is retarded and refuses to update them.

    Compare to Dark Eldar, who always looked derpy as shit and with a remale look boss. Sisters of Battle ALREADY look cool as shit. They just need to make a new codex, some plastic Sisters and WHAM, new SoB players everywhere.

    Yeah, but people don't get that.

    You need to understand.

    People hear "Space Marine" and they think "Oh, cool, it's like Aliens and Doom only with power armor". Then time goes on and they learn everything else but the initial DRAW is the idea that they're hyper elite military jarheads in space. This is why people initially don't see the reason for the existance of the Imperial Guard as a playable faction. I mean bear with me here, I'm outlining the thought process of a number of noobs I've gotten into the hobby (and if I wasn't into it myself since the fucking early 90's, I could probably remember if I thought the same thing).

    Now eventually this might turn them off to Space Marines or it might make them appreciate the unique way in which the setting works even more, but you still have a faction that gets pushed as the "face" of the game by the people making the game themselves.

    They get this much screentime and people don't think "Hey, you know, these are barely human spacefaring monks that live, breathe, eat and shit war"... they think "these are military dudes with chainsaws! Wicked! Flashback to E1M1".

    The bitterness really sets in once it's realized that that's not how it be, see?

    I think that the fact that Space Marines used to be what would now be considered "Storm Troopers in better armor" is a pretty big retcon.

    Most Space Marine fans would punch you in the face and stomp on your minis if you tried to say that "_____ could beat a Space Marine in a one on one fight" so they'd probably take offense at you claiming it's "not a big deal" that they used to be badass normals and not mini gods of war.

    Has anyone considered that:
    A) The Astartes are so far removed from Imperial society that their gender roles do not matter
    and
    B) By the time you're pumped full of steroids, stuffed full of organs, shaved bald and had your genitals removed, it shouldn't really make a difference?
    This argument is stupid layered over stupid; in all probability they're going to sidestep the issue entirely and leave your marine's "gender" unstated.

    Except for the fact power armor isn't all of the strength involved with a marine's body. It merely adds to it. A significant amount, but it's still -adding- to that amount already there. The same power armor with a weaker individual in it would result in a significantly lower maximum output of strength.

    There are dozens of factors in the fluff for 40k that support space marines being only men.

    One, the process the incredible stressful on the human body. A woman's body is more frail. This is a proven fact. Smaller bone structure, less tolerance for damage. etc. This is not to say all women are frail or should be as frail as they can be. It's just that a woman as strong and as tough as she could possibly be would still be weaker than a man with the same training and toughening up on average.

    two, the biological enhancements are typed specifically to men. The genetic material came from a man, was designed to be put into other men (hurr gay joke). It has also degraded and become even less reliable when used in the way it was intended.

    Three, the environments that potential space marines grow up in are incredibly dangerous. Death worlds that make climbing mount everest a weekend holiday. Jungles that would make catachan shit themselves. Adverse native species that mix pirahna, with komodo dragons, with candiru and they're amphibian and intelligent like cats.
    These environments often breed a culture of stereotypical gender roles mostly out of raw need.

    Honestly, female space marines and the people who honestly advocate them are some of the most retarded mary sue whiners I've ever seen in my life.

    In order for people to stop going on about female maries, Sisters would need everything the Marines currently have including 6 codexs, their own movie, a stack of video games, a ton of fluff showing off how different sisters can be, to be in every single starter box, more books than every other army and to never even lose a fight.

    I'll agree that retconning takes a lot out of a setting, but my argument isn't that they SHOULD retcon it, merely that it's a terrible rule they never should have put into place in the first place.

    How should I explain it?

    I think things should stay the way they are to preserve some of the integrity of the setting, but at the same time I never saw a good reason for that decision to begin with, and I think they really shot themselves in the foot with it as it is you might note one of the biggest sources of nerdrage and shitstorms online ever.

    When something causes THIS much controversy, division and infighting amongst fans, and general herp-de-derp threads like this that never fucking end, it was PROBABLY a poor choice.

    So yeah, I wish they hadn't done it in the first place, but since they did, I can only stand by their decision (even if I feel it's a poor one).

    I don't know if ANY of that makes sense but that's how I feel about it. I'd very likely disapprove of a retcon more than I do the idea that there aren't any female Space Marines in the first place.

    Except none of that works when there are Death Worlds where you end up with Amazons tougher than men.

    40k doesn't adhere to realism and gender roles aren't necessarily observed. Entire offshoots of the human race sprout up over the priod of mere millenia (Ogryns, ratlings, squats), and as mutated as they are, it's somehow far less likely to see powerful women in Deathworld societies? I think it'd be MORE likely that you'd have less gender dimorphism on those worlds, as both sexes would have to be tougher than nails or DIE.

    Women don't know how to kill a sabertooth jungle bat that spits acid using only a kitchen knife? Well they DIE.

    That's just how it is, and you actually see something like this in real life. Amongst neolithic cultures (and some aboriginal cultures) dividing the work and hunting more or less evenly amongst men or women or depending on a meritocracy is not entirely non-existant.

    And in those cases it isn't some fucked up forced feminist bullshit... it's because being raised in different conditions affects people differently. Lots of studies going on right now to determine if the reason women are so... flimsy in a majority of first world and third world countries is because it was simply bred into them to be as such, because you can see one tribe existing to THIS DAY in fucking South America were the women are as hale and hardy as the men.

    And anthropologists are like "What the FUCK" over it. It's great.

    You will note that all of them (every one) is a pariah.

    Here's the thing. If you're going to create a setting, or an empire that has exclusionary xenophobic practices. That seems misogynistic and cruel. As a whole the imperium of man even in it's golden era was 1950's style gender roles for the most part and still commonly segregates female and male soldiers even amongst common imperial guards.

    The fact is that it is completely in line with the theme of the setting itself. It isn't a random exclusionary note meant to snub women. It's a legitimately supported element of the setting that fits in line with the vast majority of everything else.

    If I look at a book series that has female only mages, or female only divine warriors. I'm not going to bitch and scream about how it's sexist bullshit men can't be that when the book goes into fucking explicit detail on exactly why men can't.

    I think the hilarious thing is that the emperor obviously valued all of humanity as soldiers in whatever role they took. Whether it was sisters of battle, space marines, imperial guard it didn't matter. He still had them in his armies regardless of gender. Save for the fact he couldn't make female space marines. Hell, based on some of the horus heresy books he had to welch on a deal with the fucking chaos gods to even figure out how to make the primarchs and the tech behind the marines.

    Because GW ignores them so everyone else does also.
    However, when they need to show off how powerful a villain is, they won't kill one of the heros, that shit just won't fly.
    So, instead, they choose the largely ignored faction to take the fall. The Sisters.
    They are similar enough to Marines so when they get the chop it actually looks like the marines are in trouble.
    The Author then thinks he did a great service to the fans of the Sisters by name-dropping them and thus keeps it up.
    That, or the author fundamentally refuses to understand them as a faction, seeing them as some kind of scourge to the very Imperium and thus makes them out to be just like that (redemption corps, what the FUCK was the author thinking and why the fuck did he get that misrable excuse for toilet paper printed.)
    This is further compounded by the Sisters having ABSOLUTELY NO CHAMPION on the design team. The only people who wanted to do anything with the Sisters have both left. (This however, may be a good thing, as they will probably get their first ever decent codex now and not opening with a spiel about how you shouldn't play this army)
    This has become a problem as with no champion there is no one to defend them and so they are further fucked over.

    As for the turn to chaos part?
    It is part of the Sisters canon that only one has ever turn to chaos.
    This is waving a red flag in front of a bull or telling a child NOT to do something.
    They all fucking take that as a fucking challenge.

    To further complicate matters, GW does not keep in touch with the player base in any way, shape or form.
    Back in 2000 at the UK (I believe) Gamesday they were asked during a QnA segment when the Sisters of Battle would finally receive their codex.
    They made a remark about Sisters wouldn't as they had no players at which point they were shocked to discover that EVERYONE wanted a fucking codex for them. They did not sell because everyone was waiting on their new codex and plastics. (Coincidently, ham-handedly forcing the Inquisition into the dex and forgetting the plastics turned out to be a really bad idea. Again, GW failed to realise this because they do not CONSULT THEIR CUSTOMERS.)

    It's nice that someone other than me noticed this.

    But you know I don't fault the setting for choosing to do what it did with Space Marines being monogendered. I'm just in awe here because I've never seen a single GOOD argument on why they're not there. The fact is all of the arguments are bullshit. All of them.

    None of it matters. None of it makes sense! The only thing that DOES make sense is "The Emperor couldn't get it to work and everyone else thinks it's too heretical to try".

    That is IT. That is the only valid reason there and trying to shoehorn your own values or ideas into it is just being a misogynistic prick, even if you're unaware of it.

    40k isn't a setting built on guessing games as to why shit is the way it is. It's all in there in the fluff, if you take the time to look. Sometimes, the answer simply isn't that complicated.

    Then explain to me why in a half dozen imperial guard novels they talk about various npcs commenting on how female guard fighting directly alongside male guard in the same regiment is unusual. That often it's single sex regiments operating amongst their own.

    I'm not saying they're valued less. I'm just saying that separated units is supported by the fluff in regards to novels. No, they weren't goto. It's often remarked on as a pleasant surprise when a more progressive angle is taken but it's always portrayed as not the norm.

    Also, please, explain how male only space marines aren't supported by fluff. Beyond "how do I into science?". Because scientific realism in a game about mind powers and faster than light travel is paramount right? I mean in the context of the setting, show me the flaws in the statement that the setting's fluff supports male only space marines.

    Exactly. So while it could be possible... while someone out there could potentially accomplish what even the Emprah couldn't (even the Emperor was nearly slain by an Ork Warboss... he was a god, but he was fallible)... they'd be burned at the stake or worse.

    And that is... acceptable. That is the setting.

    Look, I'm sorry if you just learned to strawman from /b/. I know it's hard for you to adjust to 4chan's atmosphere. I know it takes a lot of effort to come up with good insults like "testicle twirler" and "colon spelunker" and "straining to reach his uncle's kidneys."
    But maybe you should just take a breather and run back to TVTropes' forums--where people aren't allowed to have negative opinions and no one makes fun of you for sounding like a bitchy tween--you can try again in a few days, all right?

    Oh yes. Doing that kind of shit is very, very blamworthy and everybody in the research facility would be put to the sword. They'd still use the technology though, once they get in some high-ranking AdMech to spout some bullshit and tweak one aspect of the procedure to make it IoM-AOK.

    I have trouble believing that even a bureaucratic nightmare like the IoM would refuse to use a super-soldier program with a 100% success rate, or even as low as a 50% success rate. They'd just have to step up the resource wars to keep up with the demand for Ceramite.

    What would qualify a "good" argument to you. If the answer is "nothing" then perhaps your own personal biases are limiting your ability to accept the situation.

    Hey, I'd be totally happy to see busy muscle women stomping ass in power armor. Perhaps more space marines than a few out of the thousands of them would get laid periodically.

    Here's the frustrating thing for me. I've seen this happen in other games to some degree. The story of the setting leans one way that may be prejudice, stupid, and speak of the creators own personal flaws. This lean offends some people, a minority, among the fans. Some dislike it, some love it not because they agree with the sentiments presented, but it thematically fits with the other cliches present. So this vocal minority complains and complains. Even threatening to bring legal action. When they could easily PLAY SOMETHING ELSE.

    Most likely because the emperor, whose DNA the primarchs (also male) were based off of, and thus all those genitor glands, was male.

    The IG has plenty of females, but they like the tau aren't really shown as when you get to minis scale (or normal infantry in real life when fully equipped) you can't fucking tell the difference if they don't speak, which your little plastic people cannot do. Regiments are often split by gender to avoid having to use command vehicles or commissars as daycares in longer missions, but it happens, and everyone is quite professional within the limits that anyone can be. They're only human after all. But there's less female regiments since its a voluntary army to begin with, the 'tithe' being taken from the PDFs (that tithe part past the PDF is a little less voluntary perhaps).

    Eldar are pretty much half and half, and most of them in the videogames are female if they're in charge.

    Tau are probably half and half but since they have less defined secondary sexual characteristics no one can fucking tell what with that armor. Although given their breeding scheduling and all that, probably less of a deal is made about any offspring that result from a hop between some planets, so long as it doesn't prevent those that did it from screwing who they've also been assigned to. Does leave you wondering just how strict the 'no intercaste' parts are though, given there has to be SOME intermingling or they'll really split off into entirely different species.

    Every girl I know prefers Wonder Woman to She-Hulk solely on the basis that Wonder Woman is prettier and isn't as assertive (like, only a handful of authors ever made her out to have some feminist agenda really... original Wonder Woman was essentially a pro-male-dominance BDSM fetish in a four color superhero comic).

    She-Hulk gets to be smart, strong, have a GOOD career (successful lawyer), AND be the one in control of her romantic relationships (of which there are many)...

    And she's less popular because she's 6'7'' and green.

    IG gender roles could be seen as the way US and most western countries view women in combat, which is they're not allowed. So majority of the worlds will raise just male only. However there's loads of worlds that the opposite is true that females are the ones in major combat. Then you have the minority which are mixed.

    There's very few mixed units because it gets down to, one side or the other overextending themselves because of the opposite gender that he/she has a crush/love affair/marriage too. Then you got the issue of female hygiene, which can make mixed units a hassle.

    Ok, so to boil this thread down, people at the best of times have a really hazy grasp of GW "lore". To be fair, though, that could probably be excused because GW doesn't really grasp it either.

    Nerds are terrified by change. And women. If the reflected masculinity they drew from their super-duper macho tiny hand painted figurines was compromised in any way by the barest mention that some of those toys might possibly be G-G-G-GIRLS they would literally melt into a greasy puddle of spergy rage.

    So basically: Jesus nerds are fucking horrid.

    Maybe the girls I know just suck, I don't know, but really I don't see the problem with She-Hulk being a "joke" character. "Joke" characters are the best. Look at Deadpool. She-Hulk has similar powers of 4th wall smashing.

    Also I wouldn't class her as "worse" than the Hulk. Not as strong, but she retains her (high) intelligence and is always in Hulk form (Hulk is fairly vulnerable as Bruce Branner, and at the beginning he couldn't control those changes which was a very real handicap).

    She-Hulk is more... well-rounded, in other words. She isn't the unstoppable juggernaut that The Incredible Hulk is, but still... She's on par with The Thing while also being smarter than The Thing, basically.

    No, it's true. It's why women own dogs. Now, this sounds crazy but bear with me.

    Essentially, even if they can't be properly in charge of their own lives, they want to feel like they're in charge of something, so what better than another living, breathing animal's life? Women use it as a coping mechanism in abusive relationships, single parenthoods, or other situations where their biological make-up's "put them on the rails" so to speak.

    This is why so many women desire children and rain affection on babies, so that they can control them and mold them as they see fit. But a lot of the time once the "magic" wears off the interest and investment goes away, and men are left to raise the children in place of a disinterested and flighty mother.

    I mean this isn't 100% true as with anything, but the exceptions always prove the rule as you know.

    While I'm sure there's examples of it not being true, every time I've seen her she's never doing anything except being wonder woman. Sure this takes work, but she's still technically unemployed unless she receives a paycheck for it. She always shows more hostility to men than women, much like all the other women on the island she's from. Of course she shows less than they do.

    And no, she's never the brains of a battleplan. It's always batman.

    They manage to show tons of heroes dayjobs just fine, you're saying they can do this for everyone BUT WonderWoman? But this is derailing the original point.

    What kind of Diplomat is she? Does she get a paycheck for it? If not my original point about her being "unemployed" stands.

    You know, as an aside, the current conversation (how much does a fictional superhero ambassador make) is actually somewhat telling about RPG fans as a whole. I.E. if it isn't explicitly spelled out it doesn't exist.

    They "Thematically fit" as well as the chapter of SPESS MEHREENS they chose.

    If it was a chapter other than the Templars I can see them saying Sisters of Battle wouldn't fit due to the close work with XENOS WITCHES on the same side.

    But they chose the Templars, the only chapter that may even outclass the sisters in Puritan Zeal.

    not sure i understand all the fuss about the lack of female space marines.

    women are smaller and weaker as a gender template. therefore their physical potential as space marines is by default lower than males. when you look at the physical enhancements that go into making a space marine, the muscular gigantism in particular, what would the purpose be in creating smaller, weaker space marines for the sake of gender balance?

    and then from the player/gamer/reader perspective, who wants to see a bunch of overly muscled, giant, sexless women mucking about? physical inferiority aside they would be just psycho-indoctrinated as their male counterparts, and they would be sterilized, so there wouldn't really be any difference, tension, conflict, or titillation brought about by the addition of female space marines.

    BULLshit my friend.
    While we can't make any assumption on the actual amount he is payed, they constantly make mention of him being paid for his work.

    And even if they didn't it's a common job we experience in real life.

    Wonderwoman is a diplomat, an already vague job for the common person. Then on top of this, and even more importantly, she's from a country that doesn't even seem to use money or have economy.

    And as mentioned earlier in the thread this is only true for humans that have intermixed enough. There are communities on earth where females are as biologically capable as the men.
    This in all has had less then ten thousand years (Probably five thousand at most) of evolution.
    Now, thirty eight thousand years from now, this will probably not be true.

    women are designed by nature to carry children. their bodies are designed to carry and nurture them. they carry more fat on their bodies because of this. their bone structure is different because of this.

    you show me any biological evidence that women in any population, any time in history were, on average, as large or larger than men in that same population and i will eat my computer desk.

    nature designed gender dichotomy. it exists. it always has existed. it is expressed differently in different creatures.

    even if i was wrong, which i'm not, all my other points are still valid.

    Now keep it up and you might make sense one of these days.

    My evidence is IN THIS VERY THREAD!
    READ IT AND LEARN SOMETHING!
    Now, are you going to fold like the misogynistic manchild you are or do you want to invoke Goodwin's law next and call it a day?

    but i'm sure the men are only stronger because of the patriarchy and hegemonic male dominance that teaches girls from a young age that they can't be as strong as boys so they shouldn't even try. so all those female oly lifters focus more on painting their toenails than lifting really heavy.

    i'm also sure that in south america that there is some amazonian tribe where the women are super duper strong and have hueg muscles and they live in perfect harmony cuz men and women be the same how kawaii is that !!!!!!

    that is how fucking retarded you people are.

    there is no evidence in this thread. only vague references to some south american tribe. no citations. no links.

    you fucking retard. do you eat shit and mistake it for steak? because you sure as hell don't know how to read and comprehend.

    did you even read that link?

    you only prove how stupid you are with each of your posts.

    that link had noting to do with biological differences. it focused solely on cultural and anthropological observations about gender roles.

    gender roles did not make men bigger and stronger and women smaller and weaker. gender dimorphism did.

    you are a consummate idiot.

    OH WOW! SO YOU FOUND THE FUCKING POST AND READ IT THEN?
    SO YOU KNOW MY POINT IS CORRECT THEN?
    SO YOU ACTUALLY SEE WHY YOUR ENTIRE ARGUMENT IS UTTERLY FLAWED AND POINTLESS THEN?
    OR HAVE YOU JUST MISSED THE POINT SO HARD YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT AGAIN AS LONG AS YOU SHALL LIVE?

    THE POINT IS NOT THAT WOMEN ARE BETTER THEN MEN BUT GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES AND TIME, EVOLUTION WILL ALTER ANY MODERN CONCEPTS OF GENDER INEQUALITY TO SUITE THE ENVIRONMENT AS PERFECTLY DEMONSTRATED BY THE VERY TRIBES IN SOUTH AMERICA, NEW GUINEA ETC...

    THAT WAS THE ARGUMENT, YOU LOST!
    NOW STFU AND GTFO!

    saying things does not mean they are true. there are no tribes where women are as strong as men. their bodies are smaller and weaker.

    prove me wrong.

    >>14224151
    you pointed out one link which did not support your argument.

    you have no idea how to argue a point. i mistook your for the other fucking idiot on this thread. i'll assume you're related by blood and missing chromosomes.

    also, 50,000 years is not nearly enough to reduce gender dimorphism through natural selection.

    but you know nothing about either. you are a child ranting because you want to have female space marines and think that making up facts somehow supports your wankery.

    I wasn't making an argument though, just pointing out that you were wrong. I am well aware that men and women are different. This does not immunize you to error.

    And yet, in the very Olympic records you cite, while men continue to improve, the gap between male and female performance grows smaller.

    in the 100 meter dash. female performance will level off.

    women are smaller and weaker than men and always will be. this will never change. no matter how hard you masturbate to the fantasy that it will.

    The fact that you believe something like that will never change, under any circumstances, really just proves you don't understand the science you cling to as your sole hope for feeling "superior".

    It also amuses me that you think mastubatory fantasy plays -any- part in this, or that you think you're speaking to only one person. I genuinely feel sorry for you, if you think that the only reason anyone would ever have any interest in such a subject is to sate their -base- fantasies or lusts. In fact, that says more for your personality than anything, to say nothing of your need to resort to such ad hominem to lend weight to your failing argument.

    By the laws of science I call upon thee! If the environment is a situation where women being stronger than men is the best solution to ensure the reproduction of the species, then they will be.

    If the environment above is reversed, men will remain genetically predisposed to being stronger than women.

    If it's irrelevant to successful reproduction then it'll likely stay about the same, with random drift amongst individuals, and whatever environmental pressures are upon reproduction will be modified.
