Yeah, comparing a woman's toughness to that of Rand Paul was a bit of a low blow.Don't you think that this a bit sexist? "She's just a woman, scoff scoff"?

And now you're being sexist against men, by suggesting that a lack of physical strength in a man is insulting or shameful! Which is still sexist against women, as it suggests that the possession of traditionally feminist traits renders one inferior!
See, folks, this is why we need both Maculism and Feminism! And Traitorfish, Gender Warrior Extraordinaire, is here to shove them both down your throats, whether you like it or damn well not!
Are you serious?
Were you in a coma all through the 90s?

I will continue to chivalrously hold the door for pregnant women.
And pregnant men.

Eh, at least you are a tolerable Gender Warrior that it is possible to reason with.
And yes, lack of physical strength in a man is shameful. And a woman isn't inferior because she most likely is physically weaker than a man (unless the standard of measurement actually involves strong physique), but most women are weaker than most men, and thus I would expect most men to be able to defend themselves against a woman (assuming both are unarmed).

There may still be hope for American democracy. 
Hmm...so if you are physically way stronger than a woman and she still manages to totally crush you in a fight cause she knows... kung fu, whatever, where does that put you shamewise?

There is a distinction between chivalry and showing care to the physically impaired.
Thankee kindly.Eh, at least you are a tolerable Gender Warrior that it is possible to reason with.
Why?
True, but that's a simple case of statistical majorities. Normalising that disparity and then making value judgements off the back of it, i.e. that a woman cannot pose a threat to a man, is both sexist (to both genders!) and just plain old sloppy thinking.And a woman isn't inferior because she most likely is physically weaker than a man (unless the standard of measurement actually involves strong physique), but most women are weaker than most men, and thus I would expect most men to be able to defend themselves against a woman (assuming both are unarmed).
This looks very bad on paper. Let's wait for a sexist to turn the frase.
If my post has a point it would be that you disguised all that is bad about chivalry and hid it in the word care in your sentence. Someone in a wheelchair could be way more athletic than you and feel insulted by your care and help.
To care is to be presumptive.

You mean like the Real IRA vs the IRA?

How so?
A very fair point- to condescend to the disable is as much an expression of privilege as condescending to women. Any help offered must be appropriate to circumstance.
Presumably when we realised that there really wasn't much to say on the original topic.How did this thread get derailed into a discussion about gender relations?
Even less so, give that the Real IRA are an IRA splinter group, while the New Black Panthers are entirely unrelated, sharing only an illegitimately borrowed name.

I was under the impression that the guys were actually members of the Black Panthers, not wannabes.
Ahhh, found the wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party_voter_intimidation_case
Information on the new BLACK (capitalized for you there Useless) Panther Party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party
So you are saying the Irish tend to not even be able to get along with their own while the blacks tend to steal?

...What could be? Chivalry?
Nope. It's a effectively a breakaway group of the Nation of Islam, which tells you more or less everything you need to know about it.

I'm not too familiar with the black panthers, did they stomp on someone?
I doubt they killed around 1800 people though.

Sounds like those old Black Panther guys should have been secured creditors... that would have saved them from having the group expropriated.
