Man strength is real, unlike his arguments. (I am not justifying his comments or the muscularity of men to justify sexism).

Of course, but it seems like it's his only argument of men's superiority. He should give guys more credit! I mean, if you're going to write an article about how men are superior, might as well say guys are also more intelligent, good looking and creative ;)

Haha, I'm surprised that so many people seem to have these limited and un-nuanced ideas of superiority, like the views expressed in the article (as far as I read).

Maybe it's because I was raised in a culture where machismo is very prevalent and is counterbalanced by strong female leadership that I hold my views, but men and women are complementary in so many ways, that to claim superiority of one sex seems silly and naive.

Strong people seek out other strong people and if they can't compete, they collaborate or they avoid each other. Sounds to me like dude doesn't want to compete, which to me smells like weakness. Which is gross.
