some women can outplay some men in some sports, altho it may well be an
uncommon thing. same thing about the outworking.

that doesnt change the fact that Brian Nichols overpowered the guard not
becuase it was female, but because it was small and weak and old. Same
kinda man in the same situation, might have gotten his head punched in like
a beachball, too.

all said and done, if i'm sick and in the hospital, i'd rather have a
female nurse, than a male one. maybe thats some kinda psychological problem
on my part, but hey, there it is. On the other hand, if my car is broken, i
dont go looking for a "gestator". I look for a car repair shop and lo and
behold! 99.9999999999999999999999% of them are male owned and operated. The
one i've been to that was supposedly female owed and operated, had guy
mechanics in the back doing the work.
