I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

Gee, Mr. Manager, that's odd, I lift and carry my husband in and out of his wheelchair everyday because he's a quad and was a floppy baby who's never walked, but apparently "all boys being born have higher strength than females just because of biology."

You're sure it's ALL boys? You're absolutely sure that strength between two individuals is dependent upon their sex? We're the same age and height. I weigh more because he has no muscles and I do. And yet, SOMEHOW, I'm a woman.

Gee, ladies , why are we NOT surprised at that "boys"/"females" word choice in Mr. Manager's assertion?

I guess it didn't take long for the incels to follow the crowd over from Reddit.

I'm sure there are exceptions like in your case. But in general yes, boys are born physically stronger. Your insults won't change those facts. But you know, you can have your own beliefs. That's the great thing about life. If you want to believe that females are physically stronger, or that there is no difference between men and females physical strength, you can do that.

You are acting quite immature with your insults here. If you can't even talk about these things without getting upset, maybe you are not completely objective here. Give it some thought.

Oh you're also one of the ones who likes to pretend he's being strictly logical and doesn't realize how his prejudices and emotional insecurities show through in his posts. I'm sorry you're threatened by the fact that your masculinity doesn't guarantee you greater strength than most women. If you want to be physically strong you're going to have to get off the couch and exercise those muscles and ligaments. And if you want your opinions to be respected, you need to exercise respect for facts, even when it's women telling them to you. You speak like someone whose notions of "biology" haven't changed since they were 5 years old. There's a whole lot of "Mom said I can't hit girls but I really wish I could" leaking out all over the place in your comments. I'm sorry you're so emotionally stunted and I sincerely wish growth for you.

I'm sorry but you are not acting emotionally stable here. There are many things you are saying that obviously have been painful experiences in your life, but they have made you wrongfully interpret things people are saying. You have no idea who I am but your comments show you are visualizing someone who have hurt you before I guess.

Anyway let's move on in other posts. Have a good day.
