weaker sex
I, being the big dork that I am, was flipping through the channels tonight and happened upon a show entitled "Science of the Sexes" on the Discovery Channel (oooo, gotta love it). anyway, they were discussing about how genetically, females naturally have weaker body types than males. We (as in the female gender) have smaller hearts (pumps blood slower) and a smaller lung surface area. But while men are better equiped for short spurts of energy, overall females have better endurance... With odds against us, more power to all of the female atheletes out there... with nature working against us, we still kick arse at the sports we play and the stuff we do... hmmm... I think that's why I play a little harder when I train with the boys... I feel like I have something to prove... like I have to prove that I can play soccer with the best of them even though I'm a girl... or I can at least hold my own. ::smile:: ooo yeeeahhhhhh....
