I'm just paraphrasing to make sure I understand, not trying to put
words into your mouth. More like thinking out loud with your help.

They are not superior, as a group, in all aspects, but they are in some
aspects. That would mean they are inferior, as a group, in some
aspects. Excepting people of either sex whose abilities were not the
characteristic ones for their sex.

So when in an earlier post, you said "nor are they equal in any one
thing (for the most part)." you meant you believe there are no aspects
in which men and women are equal....or that those cases did exist, but
were rare - I'm not certain which you mean.

And that those differences are complementary, in which sense of the
word - complementary as in providing a complement (something that
completes the whole), or as in words or propositions so related that
each is the negation of the other ("`male' and `female' are
complementary terms")?
