My hypothesis (and that of Dr. Wm. Harley) is that men and women ARE NOT EQUAL.  Though they have ALL the same parts… they are built, arranged, programmed, and function differently.  This is much like the difference between a Jeep Wrangler and a Porsche Carrera. They perform the same basic functions but each has its specialty.

Some women do very well at pretending to be Jeeps… and some men do passably at pretending to be Porsches.  But, in the main, men and women shake out the way they were built and programmed.

As we see in modern society, the more confusion about the sexes, the more social anxiety is presented.  Huh?  (Yep, at least one of you reading this is not amused at this point.)

I’m sure you’d like some proof.  I agree, there needs to be a statistically valid and reproducible experiment to prove my point (we’re following the scientific method here).

Dr. Willard Harley, points out five basic needs of men and five basic needs of women^a . He derived these needs from a statistically significant survey of thousands of married or committed heterosexual couples (⁺/_-  2% at 95% confidence).   The needs are presented in priority order.

Women:

1. Affection

2. Conversation

3. Commitment

4. Security

5. Honesty and openness

Men:

1. Sexual fulfillment.

2. Recreational companionship.

3. Attractive spouse.

4. Domestic support.

5. Admiration.

Therefore, it is statistically valid to say that men and women DO NOT THINK ALIKE. 

So, they don’t think alike and are not built the same way… WOW what a concept.  Viva la difference between xx and xy.

You are mistaken if you think I do not believe in EQUAL RIGHTS.  And any woman who  a) can do the job, and  b) does not distract from the mission must have equal opportunity  to have the job.

WHAM!  At this point at least one of you has focused on my condition “does not distract from the mission.”  It is inevitable that certain gender traits will lead to distracting and mission degrading behavior(s) in dangerous environments when the genders are mixed.  What about the avalanche of wishful, politically correct, pseudo-think we are being fed in order to bend gender.  It’s hard to stay on offence when your instincts shift to defense.

Men, each and every one of you KNOW what you would do!  It’s not politically incorrect – you are wired to be that way. 

Women, too bad… that’s just the way we are.  There must be a reason for it.

AND TO BE SURE, I DON’T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY!
