That has nothing to do with women, that's just about weak people in general. I was in the military with women who were tougher and more athletic then most men I know. And through two deployments to combat zones, they handled stress fine.

Don't generalize idiot. Most men can't handle space flight either. Thats why 'astronaut' is still common lingo for 'super-over-qualified-athlete-­brainiac'.

Haha, wow.

Well, if you really think society and women in society will start focusing on athletic ability rather than appearance then so be it. TV, movies, make up, etc. would all have to be completely eradicated from society for that to happen, and society isn't ready to give all that up.

you can't see because you don't know anything about science ,may be you are a school kid, or you don't have any idea of the future, may be your brain is not that developed enough to think logical. simply having eyes doesn't make a person able to see the future.

Well, hopefully humanity will be long dead before we can spread the cancer that is humans to other planets, galaxies, etc.

Wow, can you read? You repeated EXACTLY what I said you fucking moron. I said "Society and socialization in general would have to change drastically for women to be, on average, just as strong as a man."

I can't see society changing like that for a looooooooooooong time.

its the rule of living entities whether a virus or a human to migrate in order to survive . similarly space is the way for migration from earth in order to survive life.

a man is never faster than a tiger but if a tiger is behind him ,he will be faster than a tiger. and also if the society requires man to be faster than a tiger, then man will do it! is there any genes in man that forbids him to be faster than a tiger? similar is the case for woman. if society gives priority or requirement for woman , then woman can do it.

[crazymanrips]

u think wrong that woman are weaker, its actually due to culture of society that women has to do light works etc making them completely dependable on man , makes them physically weaker. is there any genes genetical condition in woman that make her weaker?

The ISS isn't complete. It's a SATELLITE, shaped as one anyway, it's not sustainable for life AT ALL other than a research crew. So you're still wrong, and you're still a fucking moron.

Please consider suicide you worthless sack of shit.
