Super Girl
"We hold these truths to be self-evident"... the declaration begins "that all
men are created equal ". But research, if it ever gets funded (perhaps never;
the findings couldn't make the investors rich, at least not in the dimness of
their puny brains) may reveal that all babies originate with the sort of
equality along with their necessary uniqueness, of course .
Then they reach the phase of gestation were gender gets established and this
may actually make the female human, in a sense, more superior, only slightly,
and the male humans something like more capable. But, capable or not, it's
the superhuman who gets the cape. Successful intuition, non verbal
communication with other women, able to use body language unconsciously to
exchange information that doesn't get stuck in the sympathetic nervous system of
the left brain, smaller and more fuel-efficient, able to control dangerous men,
vital in the administration of ethical behavior on the whole. These are
among the more accurate measures of superhumanity.
But the curious element is our superhuman is incomplete.
The supreme cannot function without the other aspect of humanity.
It's a gender thing -- a division of labor. But it does render the woman
"superhuman". Perhaps the closest thing to a "Superman" concept we'll ever see.
However (and I stress the "how"), this, were it to prove true, and it probably
is, would then prove other things.
The tragic stupidity of society is in making the female to be either
second-class citizens or undesirable as offspring. The aborting of female fetuses
in areas where technology allows potential gender detection is one of the more
tragic manifestations of the so-called glass ceiling syndrome.
The mistaken notion that same-gender coupling of adults can be anything more
than friendship is another problem. We see the futility and the simplicity of
human intellect in the constant desire to whip up a third sex, as it were. Sorry
folks. You take what you get. However, haremistic teaming of females is a
different matter in situations where the social fabric is so destabilized that a
woman finds it practically impossible to find a responsible, considerate man.
In other words, a man.
Once in 1969, in Berkley, California, I observed a
mother in a park cover a great distance in an impossible three strides to snatch
her child from the proximity of two fighting dogs. This was plainly a
super human feat. Superhuman activity does not have to do with the size or
prowess of the individual, but perhaps more with the other things a human can do
under certain conditions. It is perhaps hormonal. It was
approximately four seconds from when I heard the sound of the dogs, to when I
saw the woman spring into action. Now, I have only been privileged to see
this once, so this may mean that the occurrence is rare to this sort of visible
extreme, but unseen occurrences of less but still appreciable magnitude may
happen with extreme regularity.
But what about the poor men? Well, they're destroying
themselves, with such things as performance enhancements, which don't make
superhumans, they really make sub-human gladiators, who before they die are
liable to take at least a few others with them. What else could it be than
sub-human? They destroy their brains so they could kick or throw a ball a
little better. This is the behavior of a child playing with toys, with a
mind not yet developed. Only if it's an adult, it can be no less than mentally
handicapped, and self-inflicted at that. It's a mere illusion; pretend
super-humans. Mere physical strength with profound debilitations, both to
the mind and the body.
The majority also have a weakness for posturing, resorting to
violent behavior that quickly affects their psychological makeup and denies them
suitable human intellectual capability to become a responsible, socially
positive human being. Most of these also resort to a bonding behavior
known in the slang vernacular as "hooliganism", a form of socially acceptable
vandalism. This involves mentally destructive posturing such as
acquisition of alcoholism (which, by the way, is a childish addiction to
candy in a grown-up), addiction to violent, hypnotic music with loud,
tribalistically, primitive, mind-altering destructive attributes, use of other
drugs, gullibility to destabilization of a political and commercial nature, an
inordinate fascination with tools resulting in intellectual impairment, and on
and on.
In short, for the man to become truly the aspect of true
humanity he is able to be, he must be a recluse; a non-participant; an
individual. One who can stand on his own, but not able to enjoy the
co-operation of the sub-human men of which any given society on the face of the
Earth is full of, who fail to see any sign in him of what they consider ideal
male behavior. It may be virtually impossible for him to find employment
or even self-employment in such a bigoted society.
That is the problem with the tendency of the voluntarily
sub-human, socially-dependent, intellectually-crippled crowd pleasers to resort
to totally inaccurate pre-conceptions and blatant gossip. Gossip destroys
whole communities, unaware of their dependence on gender co-operation for their
very survival. Both genders are able to do things with their minds that
the best physical specimens could never match by physical prowess.
So we see that the human mind has the capability to lapse
into a self-destruction mode. This indicates that the human being is
headed for it's own self-inflicted extinction. However, I sense that this
may somehow be prevented at the last moment, to the exclusion of all the
self-inflicted voluntarily sub-human mental cripples, who have already given in
to the death-wish anyway. Not only for themselves but also for as many as
they can take with them.

... but evidence of superior abilities does seem to tend to render the woman
"superhuman"....
