Gender Biology
There is no equality between genders in biology. Millions of years of evolution have made males and females better suited for different roles and activities. When it comes to the essential characteristics of a warrior, females are clearly unsuitable for combat and at a staggering disadvantage when facing men.
MUSCLE STRENGTH
MALES
40% more muscle mass in upper body.
33% more muscle mass in lower body.
FEMALES
35% less muscle mass in upper body.
25% less muscle mass in lower body.
SKELETAL STRENGTH
MALES
Denser and stronger bones. Stronger tendons and ligaments. Minimizes injuries.
FEMALES
Softer and weaker bones. Weaker tendons and ligaments. Increases injuries.
BLUNT FORCE/IMPACT RESISTANCE
MALES
Stronger facial bone structure. Stronger bones. Minimizes injuries.
FEMALES
Weaker facial bone structure. Weaker bones. Increases injuries.
AGGRESSIVITY
MALES
Hypothalmic pituitary testicular axis: 12 times more testosterone. Can demonstrate high aggressivity.
FEMALES
No hypothalmic pituitary testicular Axis: 12 times less testosterone. Lack aggressivity.
WOUND HEALING
MALES
Higher blood red cell count. Higher hemoglobin. Higher circulating clotting factor: Faster wound healing.
FEMALES
Lower blood red cell count. Lower hemoglobin. Lower circulating clotting factor: Slower wound healing.
BLOOD OXYGEN CARRYING CAPACITY
MALES
Testosterone prompts erythropoietin to produce more red blood cells thus increasing o2 carrying capacity.
FEMALES
No triggering of erythropoietin resulting in no increase in red blood cells or 02 carrying capacity.
RESILIENCE TO COLD AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
MALES
More evenly distributed blood flow in body: higher resilience to cold and other environmental factors.
FEMALES
Less evenly distributed blood flow in body: lower resilience to cold and other environmental factors.
REACTIVITY TO PAIN
MALES
Activation of right amygdala of brain: Less reactive to pain.
FEMALES
Activation of left amygdala of brain: More reactive to pain.
DANGER AND SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
MALES
More white matter in pre-frontal cortex: faster and more efficient danger and situational analysis.
FEMALES
Less white matter in pre-frontal cortex: slower and less efficient danger and situational analysis.
SPACIAL ABILITIES AND VISUALIZATIONS
MALES
Thinner parietal section of brain: Better spacial abilities and better visualization of multidimensional objects.
FEMALES
Thicker parietal section of brain: Worse spacial abilities and worse visualization of multidimensional objects.
REACTIVITY TO EMOTIONS AND DEPRESSION
MALES
Smaller deep limbic system: less reactive to emotions and less prone to depression.
FEMALES
Larger deep limbic system: more reactive to emotions and more prone to depression.
RESPONSE TO THREATS
MALES
Fight or Flight.
FEMALES
Tend and befriend.
TRACKING OF MOVEMENT
MALES
Thicker retinas and larger m cells: Better suited to track movement.
FEMALES
Thinner retinas and more p-cells: less suited to track movement.
SENSITIVITY TO PTSD AND DEPRESSION
MALES
Faster synthesis of serotonin: less likely to suffer from ptsd or depression after traumatic event.
FEMALES
Slower synthesis of serotonin: more likely to suffer from ptsd or depression after traumatic event.
RESPONSE TO FOREIGN CULTURES AND ETHNICITIES
MALES
Response to oxytocin hormone: see competition.
FEMALES
Response to oxytocin hormone: seek kinship.
EMOTIONAL STABILITY
MALES
No pre-menstrual syndrome: no mood swings, no irritability, no fatigue, no food craving, and no depression.
FEMALES
Pre-menstrual syndrome: monthly and irregular mood swings, irritability, fatigue, food craving, and depression.
