Females are better people than males.

I will be talking in terms of females and males in general, nothing specific, and nothing personal. First off I would like to note how the Burden of Proof is fully on Pro, to prove why females are better than males, and I will be refuting whatever I can get to in this amount of time. I am moreover arguing that females AND males are both effective and required, and none is better than the other. At any rate, let's examine some statistics: The math skills of a 12 year old girl resembles that of an 8 year old boy. This tells us that males tend to be more rational and quicker thinking when it comes to word problems and geometry. Women use the cerebral cortex for solving problems that require navigational skills. Men use an entirely different area, mainly the left hippocampus -- a nucleus deep inside the brain that's not activated in the women's brains during navigational tasks. A scientist in this study tells us that this means women are more likely to rely on landmark cues: they might suggest you turn at the 7-11 and make a right at the church, whereas men are more likely to navigate via depth reckoning -- go east, then west, etc. However, members of both sexes excel at skills that are commonly labeled gender specific. Providing nurturing for any brain can deeply influence the way the person behaves one way or another, for example the fact that males have superiority concerning special abilities. As anyone who spends a significant time around children knows, boys tend to get a lot more practice "moving through space" -- chasing a ball, for instance -- than girls do. The hypothesis is that, as females become more involved with special and physical activities, the disparities will be less prevalent. So we do not know which gender would be better off living by themselves in the next generation; we can only predict. One century ago females had less rights (suffragette and work place choices), their general environment was home (sewing, cooking, house-keeping, etc.) and this influences their brain-type and activity, and only 19% of the U.S.'s women had jobs. At the turn of century (1996) 60% of women had jobs and they had much more variety of rights. Now, gender equality is at it's zenith and people everywhere support it. My point is that we don't know how the majorities of the two genders could evolve and change over the next decades. But we can assume, and these assumptions would mean comparing females and males to see which one is over-all "better." See sources for back up explanations of these claims: -Men have a good work ethic (in general). -Men offer a lot of advice -- all for free. -Men take care of the mechanical things. -Men have a better sense of humor (in general). Now I will attempt some rebuttals. "Incarnation rates" Pro figured the statistics of females vs. males in prisons. This was shortly after she noted the unspecific facts about fighting, which from it I gathered how males tend to use physicality to fight for what they want. This is not a bad thing always. Ever since the estimated 1970's men have used their ability to conquer and fight in order to get land and for other reasons. Of course, currently there are laws that go against this instinct to fight, and this is a main reason males are in prison more than females. Another reason I would like to point out is that men tend to be in prison BECAUSE of women, this is only assertion because a great quantity of men get blamed for having 'unwanted' sex or doing something to women that makes the women uncomfortable. In my opinion, things in society is backwards and messed up, such as the activism for transgender, and these cause us to reconsider what "gender" is really defined by and what "roles" genders have in our world. Because you probably disagree with me about homosexuality and that of the like, I will not dig deeper. My point is that we cannot assume which is better by looking at the given facts of the past, because the roles of genders evolve over time. Whether they evolve into better quality or not cannot be decided. Empathy is expressed within males too, in fact studies show (see sources) that women conceal their emotions more than men do. While studies also show that women have a desire empathy from their husbands, males generally do not, and they complete their partner's desire by showing emotional attention. This is a trait that proves males are quite thoughtful and indignant about keeping their girlfriends happy. Women mainly seek the guidance and comfort and this gets nobody anywhere. Pro says "Empathy is the key to living together in peace." If so, then men succeed in this due to their aspiration for good relationships and wish to fulfill happiness in each other. Pro states "Even if all our bad behaviors were removed from this planet, there would still be reasons to morn and be sad." Exactly, and because behaviors in genders is the main debate here, 'suicide' is slightly irrelevant to this argument. However, I will take in what Pro said about it. I fail to see why suicide rates prove females are better people than males. If anything, it proves the opposite, because it's almost always never the man's fault he committed suicide; rather the evidence seems to show how women influence the male's decision. But, most likely, the suicide problem with humanity is in part caused by a gene called SKA2 which fails to control stress and anxieties. One source says that, though it is not proven, the gender differences of this gene is a possible cause for the higher suicide rate in males. Since feminism and gender equality is such a big deal politically, we should pay lots more attention to the problem of suicide in males and try to lower the percentages. As I said before, it's usually never the person who commit's fault for his feelings. "Women are, in general, more prepared to seek help and show their distress. A female attempt is often closer to a cry for help, hoping for a response," Newsweek reporter said. "When (the male) makes a suicide attempt, he doesn"t want anyone to hear it, he wants to succeed." This actually says a lot about the different personalities that general sexes have. My conclusion is that I have successfully refuted all that Pro claimed. I look forward to the next round! http://www.webmd.com... http://www.infoplease.com... http://www.humanresourcesmba.net... http://www.huffingtonpost.com...? http://www.newsweek.com...
