nice trips. women even today as they're unfairly supported and lauded seem to be trying their best to fail. it seems retarded at this point to even consider the patriarchy as ever having been anything but pure bullshit to justify wounded egos of people who fundamentally lacked the competence to be special and wanted an excuse for it, so they may feel less small and use it as a cudgel on those who do good for others.

You can cope all you want, but weakness is very ugly. Who will write poems about the mythical tales of women wrestling and defeating horrible beasts? Who will write of their strife and triumph through life-threatening ordeals against armies and horrible kings? Who will sing of their might that put rivals to shame and made them an idol to follow? No one. No one will, not even women. Women have naturally taken place as the lessers due to their natural lack of bodily strength and vitality. Women are desired and coveted, but never admired.

It's nice to have tits and an ass. It's nice to have soft skin and wide hips. The clitoris has twice as many nerve endings as the glans penis.

Not really.
In animal rearing, you take the best male for X task and breed him with Y number of women.
His genetics will be inherited through all the future male animals and thus he has influenced the evolution of his species much more than women.
He just shaped the entire future stock.
Males in mammals exist to assure the healthy survival of the X or Y species.
Since in males, the best ones get to breed. So they naturally have the most influence to shape their species.

>lacked the competence to be special
The issue is clearly that while women can clearly become perfectly competent at many things, it is extremely, extremely rare for any of them to be driven to become genuinely exceptional in anything with prior precedent. Almost all high achieving women are good at things that society has approved as being something that it is respectable to excel at, but women who would be driven to actively break the paradigm they work under to establish something better, even if it costs them status, or to conquer unknown or hostile territory are ridiculously low in number, and so most of the celebrated woman achievers are those who accomplished something after a man already did it and layed the groundwork for others to follow.

There is nothing wrong with this, but expecting otherwise and getting disappointed that things don't work out like that helps nobody.
