It's official: Men really are the weaker sex

The male gender is in danger, with incalculable consequences for both humans and wildlife, startling scientific research from around the world reveals.
The research – to be detailed tomorrow in the most comprehensive report yet published – shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people.
Backed by some of the world's leading scientists, who say that it "waves a red flag" for humanity and shows that evolution itself is being disrupted, the report comes out at a particularly sensitive time for ministers. On Wednesday, Britain will lead opposition to proposed new European controls on pesticides, many of which have been found to have "gender-bending" effects.

Well I was invited into an arm wrestling contest by five guys in the Aberdeen Marriott bar last week (oil rig workers) ...
Wish I could have surprised them and won ... :o ...
Sadly not one of them was "weak" enough ... :( ... despite "handicaps" ...
But it was fun to a woman in their company ... times I like strong macho guys who treat me like a "lady" !
