[/quote] Not at all. Different things have different emphasis and need to be covered differently. Additionally, women have better heating around the womb and get colder limbs, while men are naturally warmer all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have a lot of friends in biology. Women are better insulated around the womb and generally get colder limbs than men because they don't have as much padding in the limbs. The womb bust be better protected. There are many more differences between men and women than the obvious. Additionally, women have a better corpus callosum, which connects the two halves of their brains better than men. It allows them to be better at multitasking, while men are statistically better at detailed, focused things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philothea Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Ermn. Not that I want to be picky, but this doesn't make sense. Women have a higher percentage of body fat. It means that their skin tends to be cooler. A person's internal body temperature is (as much as possible) the same all over. Nothing to do with keeping a womb warm. I'm with KA on the clothes thing. Buncha nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal body temperature is generally the same everywhere, but can be off by even a little bit and it would make a significant difference. Temperature makes a difference to male anatomy, too, but I won't go into that here. Even if that were the case, there is still the issue of modesty for different types of clothing.

philothea Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Heh. Women's clothes tend to be way less modest (and FAR less practical) than men's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Women don't have to wear neckties. That is about the silliest invention ever. And it doesn't even help keep you warm!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KizlarAgha Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 What Micah said is actually mostly true. Women have more capillaries under the skin than on the surface of the skin, and also more closer to the core of the body. This causes women to maintain their core body temperatures better than men, but at the same time, it makes them feel cold much more easily. A great quote from a doctor was that the man would freeze to death before the woman but even has he died he wouldn't feel as cold as she did.

philothea Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 At least men don't massively change all their fashions every dratted season. Just got back from a week in rich, superficial, trendy-land. I do not want to have to spend thousands of dollars every year on clothes to not look like a freak. That's stupid. I do not care about this stuff. Still, my clothes are, gasp, a few years old. So I look like a fossil, and stick out everywhere I go. Grrrr. Can we all just please wear robes or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
