Bio Strong

Chill Clowns

That’s right. My partner and I have lifted roughly the same amount and the same intensity over the past 5+ years. I started out right at twice as strong as she is. I’m still twice as strong. In my explosive 1RM power, I’m even stronger than that. And she’s in the top 99% of strength for women and I’m only around the top 80% for men. (In other words, quite a few men are a lot stronger than I am. But I’m near the top end of what my genetics allow.)

There is no world in which bio men should be competing in women’s sports. None. QED.

My Sharia

Chill Annoying, Evil

Remember that when you hear women talking about what other women should do to “protect” them or “for their own good,” 99.99% of the time this is about intrasexual competition and preventing other women from threatening their status and/or position. Yes, it’s unconscious. But that makes it worse.

No, not all women. But the most fanatical and neurotic are the ones who usually succeed. It’d be women that would be the strongest proponents of sharia law, by the way. They’d see it as knocking out their competition. And in some important ways, they’d be correct.
