http://kcvmh.tumblr.com/post/29864218122/clip-of-the-comparison-between-mckayla-maroneys … This is a link to the clip with the original commentary. The male announcers sound stunned at what they're seeing while they describe the superiority of Mckayla's athletic performance beyond that of the male "champion" … a great moment in the shattering of the obsolete myth of male physical superiority (or even the myth of equality) … such examples continue to become more common.
https://youtu.be/IZo8J_WhKms … and another example of female power … in a contest of 100 pullups the athletic woman demolishes the bigger bulkier muscleman. Who has the more powerful muscles in this battle of the sexes?
Xaan, I think he wants to say that Kohei has a larger amount of total strength. Masculinists use the man's bigger weight to convince us about their "superior" strength. I did know a guy who did this to keep women from working out, but then some woman overpowered him quite a lot...
One interesting thing about this example of female superiority is that McKayla was not "trying" to compete against the male, but simply doing her best, as was he. It was only afterward that someone compared the two separate performances that this was noticed. It happens a lot that women's potential is revealed to be greater than males when they are not under pressure to prove it outright. If only all women were unafraid to show it every day.
Male fear of female superiority is deeply ingrained in society. I think many women actually know they are superior but feel so sorry for men that they hide their power out of sympathy. Of course there are too may women who do fall for the brainwashing tactics.
Some women do hide their power (no matter what a set of reasons they may have), other women don't have the necessary information, other women support patriarchy (guess this is how "deeply ingrained" the problem is as you put it), but those pathetic "tactics" cannot work on women in the knowing.
Men's only hope to maintain their imaginary, make believe superiority and hide from the fact of female superiority has ever been to do everything possible keep women from knowing. But it will ultimately be futile as women gain knowledge and share it with each other. It's just a matter of time.
Indeed, once a woman gets to know something so vital, she does not forget it - especially if her knowledge is on practical level, like it is in my case.
Masculists are always finding ways to rationalize when females are proved superior. First they say "males are superior because of their greater size and bulk" when that is proven to actually be a disadvantage they cry that you can't compare the superior athletic abilities of a smaller lighter female with a male because she has an "unfair advantage" due to her better size to muscle power ratio. I'm a male, but I've learned to overcome my foolish male ego and realize it makes more sense to celebrate the true stronger sex. No excuses for male physical inferiority.
If he were smaller and vaulted higher masculinists would say men were stronger and not mention the size differential, yet his extra 10lbs don’t forget is all muscle without that 10lb of muscle he wouldn’t be able to do what he can but still it is not enough for him to compete with the female gymnast with less muscle mass because he has male muscles which are weak and soft – with all his big burly manly muscles he is still beaten by a smaller girl - scale her female muscle up 10lbs and you be sure it would be even more impressive a vault – and female gymnasts are getting bigger and stronger as are female athletes in general and more females ARE going to physically surpass men in terms of strength and power. I wrote a little on female gymnasts in the upperbody11 post, check it out :)Ace
Ace, I re-read your gymnast comment in "Upper Body II" … you really have a knack for clearly presenting the facts of female physical superiority over males in no uncertain terms. From a male perspective it's a struggle to concieve how such levels of physical accomplishment are possible since we are so focussed on the image of bulky, bulging heavy male muscles as the symbol of strength. How can these smaller, more compact, refined and elegant female bodies pack the same (or more) power as our thickly muscled ones? It's only when we find out the science that bigger isn't always better when we are forced to see reality. Now, the male musculature is becoming the symbol of biological inefficiency and somewhat shoddy design. Well, after all, hasn't been proven long ago that the male is really only a modified female (some would say de-modified) so it actually makes sense that in the process of reworking the original female biological template, some things would go wrong. BIg inefficent male muscles masquerading as 'superior' will be revealed as the sham they are.
The top man against the top woman by incontestable video evidence he got pwned clearly female = stronger faster more powerful more agile than the very best man by a long long way! <3 polegirl
Absolutely, Polegirl. Such examples are becoming more and more common. Not only did she go higher than the male but she had much better form. The whole world could see the superior power of the female!
You may be interested in this, Maja Kuczyńska is the Indoor Skydiving Junior World Champion, a new sport and one in which women are already showing their superiority over males.
Also this, another female champion ... Inka Tiitto ... https://youtu.be/3qlzQBryT9A
Of course, there are males in the sport but it's clear that the real skill is on the female side. As with most sports, the males would like to believe they are equal, but watching male and female competitors it's clear that the males are a distant second.
We should be seeing some real female power at the Tokyo Olympics in three years. There will be an almost 50% balance of male and female athletes and there will be more mixed events than ever ... http://mashable.com/2017/06/09/olympics-2020-gender-balance/#OwrCou65hOqk
Interesting, but men still get much better training, so I think all this is just a "communicational backfire" in the making - it might fail its ulterior purpose though.
One pivotal moment isn't going to be enough. What was the effect of McKayla's vault in 2012? Did it change anything in what most people think of women's sports? No, although theoretically it should. The only thing capable of doing the job is an overall victory over men. All female athletes must do better than all their male counterparts in the mixed events and break all the men's records in all the events that actually have records. All this by vast margins. Even the last women have to do better than the best men. Anything else is going to be communicationally disastrous.
With rational performance rates on all athletes of both genders it would have already happened. There are other things in the middle that we must get rid of. If all goes well, it will happen. Else we are headed for a huge communicational fiasco.
Then in one sense, it has already happened, since the apparent superiority of males in sports is really based on an irrational system. If the truth of our biological and kinesiological differences were made clear to the general public, no one would be able to ignore the fact of female superiority on a massive scale. I would love to see that day.
The only way I can see of making the truth clear to the general public (as you word it) is to outdo men in terms of results as I have suggested. Most people just look at results and nothing else. So, if we can't help the mass understand the importance of the factors that keep men's myth alive, we 'd better turn the factors themselves on their head before it gets too late. We are running a must-win blitz race, Tokyo 2020 being the finish line.
Talent-wise we are better, I agree with Raffaela and yboy. Our disadvantage is that men are much more used to pushing up to their true maximum, while we are more held down - even like this we 're closing the result gap in spite of all the additional hurdles we have to cope with just because men want to eat their cake and have it. The plenty of mixed events in Tokyo 2020 is not a finish line, it rather is a start line, a very irregular one we 'll have to compete against (but I am confident we 'll beat sooner or later). I trust in my gender, sooner or later we 'll win. Constantina

ReplyDeleteThanks yboy - great find! I will post this separately.... ;)
Deletei don't know anything about gymnastics...but remember that kohei weights aeound 10 kg more than mckayla
ReplyDeleteSo your point is that his strength to body weight ratio is lower? Sorry - No excuse. She is his superior!

I would bet money that if you put a weighted vest on her so that she weighed the same as him, she would still do better. Paul
