Karin,
My university educational qualifications are in Zoology as a major.

Did you realise that phylogenetically, men are merely modified
females?

That Real Men who can "**** over the side, burp, flatulate" etc can
actually breast feed babies without taking any medication or hormones
- merely by allowing the baby to suckle several times a day for a
period of about three weeks? It has been done.

cheers

Total BS. I trust Maryann with my life regularly. I've sailed with
many competent women and it is not uncommon to see cruising boats out
there run by partners where the woman is the better sailor. In the
local high school sailing league girls have proven time and again that
they are at least as good as the boys at the varsity level.



I agree....as long as the waves are small, the wind is light and the loads
aren't heavy....or, as in the sailing league, the boat is small.

At sea, in heavy weather, my 255 pound ass isn't big enough much of the
time. I can't imagine a woman trying to get the main down in a 40 knot
gale with rain pounding her and the deck boiling up around her. That's
just not right, women's lib or no women's lib. She'll never be as strong
as a man....sorry.

Thinking otherwise, though politically wonderful, is foolhardy and
dangerous.

I'll go head to head with most men any day of the week, Larry. My boat is
sized for what I can handle. Nevertheless, your gendertyping doesn't take
into account that there are plenty of women who are bigger than some men. Or
even the average man, for that matter. And some day, we shall rule the
Earth.
