Why we have the female - male debate. AC I don't consider myself an expert on females. During WWII women were thrown into the work force while men were shipped overseas. WWII finished, instead of sending the women back to their traditional roles (pre WWII) they're kept in the work force. Economies were growing at high rates, as a result of the Bretton Woods Agreement, technological innovation, reconstruction of destroyed countries among many others. Once the post WWII reconstruction completed, a young generation that were not face with war, famine and that grew in economic boom years, having had a easy life, and (most important for me to make my point) had a mother that was working, revolted against the status quo during the 60s. The females have no boom economy to work for and forced themselves to get jobs as their mothers had got. Inteligent women knew that governments were interested in their votes and was easy to find heralds of the feminine "cause" in places like the US, Australia and Canada. (MQ could possibly tell us if he cares to read this post who was the Germaine Greer of NZ if you know. Goverments heard the call and started offering pseudo-jobs for women and women kept their share of the job market. Having craftly pushed their way into the job market, the women's champion needed any opportunity to defend their turf. Hence the competion male - female... Elmat -in Africa- learned a lot about this subject by observing jobless American, Canadian and UK young women who took to Africa via CUSO (Canadian University Service Overseas) and a few from UK whose acronym I can't recall. Women went to school, got a degree and had nowhere to go and went to Africa to "work" as voluntary assistants, which can be translted as using poor countries as rich kids' playground, something like the Peace Corps. Sorry guys but I find this debate totally irrelevant. Yiwu is gonna hate me for writing that :-)

with an education in the racial taxonomy of his chosen sport-in the subtle, unwritten rules about what whites are supposed to be good at and what blacks are supposed to be good at Exactly. This is the utter horse chit I am talking about. The brutal biased bashing of young peoples minds of what they are supposed to be, and not to be, good at. There is some white guy out there who would make a great boxer, another black female that would make an ace mathematician. The limited mind set of the other humans around them will deny them there true and best destiny. The best are always exceptions.

You seem like an intelligent guy on the "math" subject. I used to run. Long distance. It was only later in life I found out why I was a winner. My lungs are way outsized from normal. In a medical test for a job I got called back three times to have my lungs X rayed. I used to smoke tobacco so I was scared that they found lung cancer. It turned out in the end it was because they could not fit my lungs on a standard X ray. It took me a while to win at running. One thing I can say is the worst place in a race is being second. Last place is bad but that is usually a clarification exercise. Being second is worst place I think. Being third is OK, you get an idea, sure you lost, but maybe you can be a winner. Being second is you tried but lost. Then I started winning. First place all the time. I never looked back. I beat the womens mile record easily in 1973. Now it is not such an easy target. guinnessworldrecords.com
