How can women be described as the weaker sex ?

From puberty they have to endure their menstrual cycle. From conception they

have to carry an embryo. The after months of that they have to deliver that

infant into the world, often in the harshest conditions. Then they have to

nourish, raise and protect the infant for years, while cooking, cleaning,

and perhaps doing a job of work to financially provide.

They are certainly NOT WEAK, far from it..

What era are you talking about David? :-S :-D

I was hoping we would be enlightened as to why this thread shouldn't have been started so that we might have an insight into why it was reported - twice. I see no reason.

According to "Yahoo News" the mother has been in intensive care since being delivered by Cesarean Section and father is also in intensive care following a heart attack the day after the births :-|

The reason I mentioned women's strength Island was because a few posts

decried it. I was being complimentary.

David no one decried women's strength, they were I think commenting more on the common sense of most women to know that the human body can only take so much after a certain age ( female or male).

It's not an exact science of course, plenty of 60 plus people are very fit, many are absolutely not and as a general rule it takes longer to recover from extra strain put on the body, let alone lugging a little human or 2 around inside for the duration.

Women are of course not the weaker sex, that is just a convenient misinterpretation of 1 Peter 3:7 ( I may wish I hadn't started this lol).

David, go and stand in the corner and learn not to think like a dinosaur.

It is not solely the prerogative of women to nourish, raise and protect the infant while cooking, cleaning and doing a job of work!!!

Men can do all of that.

Of course, if the man is a wimp, he'll never cope - and before I am accused of any dreadful crime against the male gender, neither would a woman if she is a wimp.

ElizabethK .............

I saw that about the mother being in intensive care since the babies were born by caesarean and the father in intensive care after a heart attack ......................

I wonder how the babies are doing and who is looking after them, and who will take care of them?

Of course the RR'er knows that GR doesn't work on the weekends!

That's why they do it.

In reply, the extended family with take care of them. Also, because of the ages

of the Parents, I expect various business' will supply this and that for the publicity.

Something new is often too good to ignore. There is always an abundance of hope.

I hope I live long enough to witness the progress to maturity of these newborn infants.

I hope GR doesn't give in and the RR'r finally gives up.
