Why? Are men better than women?

yeah at a lot of stuff.... i can outshoot most of ya, though. ...if it's airguns.

My experience has been that for everything I do pretty well, somewhere there's a woman who can do it better!

Also, there's usually a guy who can also do it better!

Takes all kinds - I've no problem either way. If a woman is the best "man for the job", she's got the job.

I like being male because I can donate sperm .

I look for a cause at My Bowl

Now I KNOW I do that better!!!

Women are MUCH better than men. That's why I choose to associate with women. After spending the last 9 months deployed in the army, in male dominated section, one of our administrative types came and just sat down next to me and talked for about 15 minutes. Trust me, women are MUCH better than men.

I need to get home.

Hope you get to come home soon, 120. I hope you know we all greatly respect and appreciate what you are doing. Glad you at least have access to a computer, that must help some. You take care and hang in there.
