Useless red circle, I know, but in my defense I didn’t put it there, it was already like this when I found it.

    Women can be strong and mentally superior to men. But saying women are weaker because of propaganda is just wrong.

    Female oplympians aren’t slower or weaker because men told them to be. Serena Williams lost vs rank 203 male tennis players during Williams’ peak. There’s plenty of strong women who could kick Tue average males ass. But has a higher baseline strength, and a higher threshold. If they didn’t there would be more mixed competitions.

      Competitive sports aren’t really the point I am trying to make here. A lot of women out there really seem to give up before they try or guys treat them automatically like they can’t do things and ask other guys long before they ask for an AFAB person’s help. These days I work in mixed crews and there is this constant assumption /surprise thing guys have and their minds are very easily blown when they see women lifting things that are way below their true ability. Some women by contrast internalize that “I am weak and always will be” message and treat lifting anything over 50lbs as completely impossible until they see other women doing it. It’s like there’s an internalized assumption all around of weakness being an inherent trait and AFAB people who do not fit that stereotype constantly have to reprove themselves over and over again to every new person who shows up.
