Males are superior to females

Physical Con claims that women are more important than men in reproduction. He also claims that women live longer and are healthier. Both statements, however, are untrue. Males are as important as females in reproduction. Seeing as females are unable to reproduce without males and males are unable to reproduce without females, both are two necessary parts and therefore equally important. Removing one would make the other useless, reproduction-wise. Although women live longer than men, that does not mean that they are healthier. "While women do tend to live longer than men, they are generally less healthy in their old age than men of the same age" [1]. If you want to bring up cancer, high-blood pressure and diabetes, women are more likely to get autoimmune diseases, Alzheimes disease, and osteoporosis [2][3]. And at such an age, people do not have much of a purpose. In almost every situation, people aren't remembered for what is done after retirement, but actually what they contribute before retirement. So if men are healthier, stronger and contribute more during their lifetime, then they are physically more capable. Therefore, physically superior. Mental Con states that height is a factor of importance and that addictions, rather than intelligence, is what makes males more successful. Height is not an important factor. Males are taller than females. Taller people are more intelligent. That must mean that males are more intelligent than females. Height is a genetic factor in men. Using a hypothetical world is not valid because in the real world, men are taller and therefore undeniably more intelligent. Women may get the better grades, but what does that amount to in the long run. If women get better grades and get into college more often, yet they don't contribute anything to mankind like men do, what's the point? And since you requested it, I posted the source of why grades are indicative of intelligence [4]. Women may be socially more intelligent, but what does that mean when, like you said, there are many more types of intelligence? Almost all mathematicians, scientists, inventors, writers, poets, screenwriters, directors, artists, musicians, politicians, rulers, doctors, philosophers, etc. are males. There is no comparison to women being socially more intelligent. You bring up the fact that men are likely to become compulsive gamblers and substance abusers, but they are also more likely to excel at the aforementioned positions. Simply stated, men have made almost every single contribution to every single field. Every single pillar of society. If men are more likely to be handicapped by substance abuse or gambling addiction, why is it that men have made all the contributions? Emotional Firstly, I did not say armies have nothing to do with violence. I said that there are many reasons that there are more males in the army than females for reasons such as social stigma and the draft. Secondly, my statistic does not say that mothers are more likely to abuse their children than fathers. It states that SINGLE mothers are more likely to abuse their children than SINGLE fathers. Spending more time at home and with the children cannot account for single parent homes. Finally, con brought up six dimensions of emotional stability. Pessimism vs. Optimism: My previous arguments have shown that women are more likely to become depressed than men. Therefore, women are more likely to be pessimistic. Apathy vs. Empathy: I concede. Women are more empathetic than men. Dependence vs. Autonomy: Women are more dependent than men not just psychologically, but genetically. Since the dawn of man, women had to take care of the children and so the instinct of dependence came upon women. Also, single mothers have a 61% chance of getting child support from fathers whereas 20% of fathers get child support from mothers [5]. Therefore, women are more dependent. Anxiety Vs. Calm: Negative conceded on this point. Women are more anxious. Aggression vs. Tolerance: I do not concede on this point, but it does not matter. Even with this point, the score stands at: Three for men and Two for women. Therefore, men are more emotionally stable. By the way, women are at least twice times more likely to attempt suicide [6]. They just don't succeed. Conclusion Since males are physically, mentally or emotionally superior (these three aspects making up humans), males are superior. All of the opponents points have been negated. I rest my case to the negative.
