I know the spirit of this thread is to throw your beliefs out on the table without too much explanation, but I’d love to see you elaborate on this. Not in the interest of picking a fight over it (unless your rationale is patently stupid, which I doubt), but because I was taken off-guard by this statement and am genuinely curious.
Some reasons :
They have more money/wealth ( yes, they tend to have a lower income, but have greater assets than men ).
They live longer, and tend to be healthier. ( Not their fault, of course, but . . .)
They have better forms of birth control, and more kinds of it.
In America ( unsure about Europe ), women tend to get custody of their children in a divorce.
In many ways, the law favors them. A woman is less likely to be investigated or convicted for a crime, and a woman is generally punished less.
There’s not nearly as much tolerance for gross insults and disrespect towards women as there is towards men in public life.
Violence towards men is more tolerated than violence towards women, including by men.
People are more willing to be helpful and sympathetic towards women than men.
At least in America, there’s a common assumption that men are rapists and child molestors, just waiting for their chance.
Gays ( men ) are hated and treated much worse than lesbians ( women ).
Some truth in that, but there’s a reason. Women are less likely than men to commit serious, especially violent, crime. I believe (and don’t flay and salt me for saying so) that most women are just generally better people than most men. Exceptions exist, of course . . . like me. I’m a man, and I’m a pretty good fellow. 
Do you mean assets as something other than money? Or something along the lines of a divorce and getting a lot of property? I’m just not sure what your line of reason is on this statement.
And I think that women aren’t better, just bad in somewhat different ways, and often given a pass for bad behavior. Examples off the top of my head ( by memory; no cites ) :
-
Except in places where the law gives them no option, the cops and courts will typically ignore domestic violence by women, up to and including murder, sometimes - unless the victim is another woman.
-
In many cities the cops refuse to arrest female drunken drivers unless they actually kill someone, and even then they are punished less.
-
Men are more likely to rape or kill close relatives, but women are more likely to torture ( physically and mentally ) and non-lethally poison. An abusive father will molest his child; an abusive mother will, say, flay a his pet rabbit alive in front of the kid and tell him he’s next. I also recall a psychological study when they were observing a ward of sick children which was halted when the researchers discovered that every single sick child in that ward was sick because his mother was poisoning him/her; apparently that sort of thing is not uncommon, for gaining sympathy ( a variation of Munchausen syndrome by proxy ) or profit.
-
Poisoning people they don’t like with ( IIRC ) potassium 90 ( invisible and tasteless; may kill, can cause birth defects or cancer ) has been a popular act among better educated, more ruthless women, because of the suffering and uncertainly created. They don’t want to kill; they want to make him/her live in fear of cancer or birth defects.
-
Male violence is often encouraged by women, for their own amusement or profit. Not that that gets the men in question off the blame hook, of course.
-
Historically, women have been known for a propensity for torturing prisoners of war; “if you’re captured by the enemy, don’t let them give you to them women.” And of course :
When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier.
Soldier of the Queen.
My view is, men are human, women are human, and humans are barely one step up from animals. We are not a nice species. The idea that women are nicer than men is just an example of the tendancy to put women up on a pedestal ( when we aren’t demonizing them )
Money, land, jewelry, etc. Women tend to do better in divorce settelments in the West; they are more likely to simply outlive male relatives/spouses and inherit from them than the other way around, and as a rule they tend to be more financially prudent, which tends to pay off in the long run. Note that only the first can at all be considered “their fault”; it’s not women’s fault that men are statistically more likely to, say, choose high risk-high-return investments than women, or that men on average don’t live as long.
And on a note related to my last post, I direct the curious to this active IMHO thread : Why don’t we hear more about men being abused by women?
I believe that religion is the most dangerous threat to humanity today. Anybody who needs promises of pie in the sky and threats of being roasted like a marshmellow to behave in a civilized manner is seriously fucked up.
I believe that Christianity exalts victimhood while Islam exalts violence towards non-moslems. They are both dangerous.
I believe that most people want to abandon responsibility for their own decisions. That is why representative democracy/republic is such a successful form of government today.
Although the texas accent and the folksy demeanor are affected, G.W. Bush is exactly as incredibly stupid and inarticualte as he appears when he stammers into a microphone. He and his administratoin give not a fuck about the average American citizen nor the nation as a whole, only the richest 5% of the world.
I believe that all elected officials in the U.S. above the county level should be lined up against the wall and shot in the forehead. Then the next batch of people in power will have that to look forward to if they fuck up again.
I believe that military personell who volunteered after the beginning of shooting in Iraq are not heroes. They are in fact villians who should be stoned on their return from active duty.
I believe that the US props up the mexican economy, with one out of 7 Mexican workers being in the US and the vast majority of them having zero interest in becoming American citizens or even permanent residents. I believe that mexico has an official policy of exporting their social problems to the US via illegal emmigration. The US should annex Mexico and replace their corrupt government with our own people. We should enact public works projects to clean up their environment and keep Mexico as a tropical vacation destination. Once the mexicans can earn the same wage as a landscaper or maid in a mexican resort as any northern state, they will stay where everyone speaks their language.
I believe that most large businesses are immoral and greedy and would use slaves if it were cost effective and legal.
I believe that in the 6th grade when they take the boys into the gym & the girls into the auditorium to teach them the facts of life, they should take them to seperate clinics, give the boys vasectomies & the girls tubal ligations. Then they should show the kids movies & slides of genital warts, herpes chancres, dripping syphillis lesions, all the horrors of venereal disease. Tell them that’s what happens if you don’t use condoms. Then make them take childcare classes and pass a test to apply for a reversal of their surgery at their own expense.
I believe that first-time felony convicts should exit prison with a non-reversable vasectomy, high school diploma and training in a skilled occupation to guarantee a living wage. I believe that upon a second felony conviction, you should belong to the state, sleeping in the prison overnight and going to work during the day. All your wages should go into a victims’ compensation fund. On a third felony conviction you should be led out of the courtroom and executed with a quick and humane shot to the back of the head.
I believe that marijauna should be legal.
I believe that within the next hundred years humanity will fuck up the evironment to where the earth is incapable of supporting human life. I seriously doubt that we will be able to escape to the stars. I feel neither sad nor happy about this.
I believe that prostitution should be legal and regulated. If anyone deserves health insurance, a pension and a good trade union, it’s whores.
•Well, I didn’t say it before in as many words, but…I believe what we call “Liberalism” is essentially a personality disorder—to varying degrees of destructiveness—caused by the nature of modern society. Rather like rats—however, like said vermin, I’m guessing leftism is probably an inevitable side-effect of having any kind of human civilization. No way of getting around it except throwing away civilization itself, which is just as bad.
•In the spirit of the season…hey, I’m a materialist, and a capitalist—why shouldn’t I have a holiday filled with commercialism? (It’s not like I’m really celebrating the birthday of some schizophrenic cultist Jew. Okay, okay…maybe he wasn’t schizophrenic. Maybe he was just a megalomaniac who needed an “angle” to try and help him overthrow the eeevil greatest civilization that had ever existed at the time.) 
Hey, how’d this one get in there with all those controversial ones!
Good idea. Have you heard what they’re recommending for people after their third felony conviction?
I believe that reality is characterized by eternity, necessity, and essence. The universe (and everything in it, of course) is therefore not real.
I believe that no one should be given fertility drugs until they’ve proven that they are financially capable of supporting at least five additional kids without outside assistance.
I believe that when it comes to global warming and other enviromental problems our present remedies are pointless,we are treating the symptoms not the causes.
We MUST ,not just stabilise the worlds population, but actively reduce it and soon .
Even the impact of six billion people(and increasing rapidly) farting,breathing and exhaling is making an impact on the eco system let alone ,pollution ,agriculture,depletion of resources ,change of land use et.
The players in proffessional sports teams should actually come from the towns/cities they represent instead of buying in talent .If their players are crap then it gives a big incentive to them to scout for talent in their local community for future stars and invest in training for kids ,working on the principal ,coach a hundred kids and maybe get two pro players out of it .
As a by product local families benefit.

People who have committed serious offences,serial killers,arsonists,rapists and the like but
who are judged to be not responsible for their actions by virtue of insanity should be quietly and painlessly put to sleep just like mad dogs.
Young offenders who are locked up should be made to get up early and go to bed early every day of their sentence so “setting” their body clocks for when they are released.
A great many young adults in the U.K. drift into petty crime because they cant hold down a job and they cant hold down a job because they stay up late and cant get up the following morning.“From little acorns…”
People serving very short custodial sentences ,10 days ,2 weeks and so on as a result of lack of prison cells should be made to spend their days standing up in the middle of a parade ground with no conversation ,books or any other distractions so that the short sentence will seem a hell of a lot longerand may actually serve as a deterrant .
At the very worst it wont do them any harm ,no one ever died of boredom.
Children whos behaviour is persistantly anti social but are under the age of criminal consent and so cant be punished under the legal system should be judged as being incapable of functioning in general society unescorted and from then on until aged 21 they should be accompanied everywhere outside of their home 24/7 by one of their parents .
If the parents still claim to be incapable of controlling their childs behaviour after several months then the child should be put into a secure institution for rehabilitation ,accompanied on a permament basis by their parent.
People who have not worked for 9 months for what ever reason and who are living on welfare as a result to receive absaloutly no extra benefits at all if they fall pregnant after the 9 month period.
Its their choice ,we all know where babies come from.
If however they persist in their refusal of personal responsibilty for their actions and it looks as though the infant may suffer as a result ;the child should be put into care and the mother MADE to work at some sort of job ,even if it is a government financed "make work " job and the cost of the childs upkeep taken from her wages.
Hopefully then it might sink in that they cant keep having babies as a meal ticket,with the implied threat that if we dont give them money the child will suffer.
And finally I come to the most serious topic on my mind, the England cricket team,players ,staff ,everyone involved ,should bite the bullet ,say to the world "Yep we are totally crap at cricket and as of this instant we are resigning"and then go on to become jugglers or ballroom dancers or anything at all that doesn’t involve any sort of a sport ,up to and including marbles.
And then everyone in these islands pretend that the game never ever existed.
One in seven huh? Prove it.
Why replace our corrupt government with your equally corrupt one?
I think this last statement proves you’re a racist and bigot.
Oh, and…do you know what, for me, is one of the saddest parts about being an Atheist?
Knowing that there’s no Hell. There have been so many people who richly deserve torment who just escape into simple oblivion. 
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EV’RY BODY!
Loo-loo-loo, loo-loo-loo-looo-loooo…
I refute it thus. kicks stone
I believe that BMax should be forced to serve as a chaplain in the Mexican army.
I believe that newscasters would do better not to have a section for sports in the radio or television news, as hobbies should be discussed on specialized programs.
Maybe the stone kicked you instead.
In Soviet Russia…
I’ll get my coat…
…F. L. Wright was the greatest architect ever. all new houses should be built to his designs. Architectural styles from before 1920 (Art Deco0 should be banned. Everthing (toasters, TV sets, etc., should be streamlined). We need to rid ourselves of antique styling ideas-I f a see ONE MORE faux-colonial Mcmansion, Ill go crazy!
B & W TV shows should come back…“film noir” movies are the greatest!
