Women less physically active

Image...
Two recent studies suggest that women are less physically active at both ends of life than their male counterparts.

In a study of school children and over 70s, men tended to be more active.

    Well, I'm definitely less physically active than my boyfriend so I would have to agree with this study. I just don't like physical activity? Is there anything wrong with that? :P

    Perhaps it has something to do with heart size since Men's hearts are bigger than women's so dey have greater pumping capacity.

    Had the study been on adults I would blame periods, because cramps are sure as hell no fun.

    Well women in their 70s were born in the 1930s and most women of that era would grow up to be house wives, not ruffians who hung out outside. That trait would have followed them throughout their lives..

    And as for children.. There are just more sports for boys than there are for girls. I know someone's gonna disagree with me but.. You don't see many girls growing up to be surfers. Boys become surfers. There's no girl football. There's not really a women's big league sport where everyone rests infront of the TV to watch.

    And maybe when there's a sport or a physically activity that little girls can do, the boys are always better and rougher and meaner and they say "Sarah! I don't want you on my team!!! You suck!"

    Atleast that's why I hated being physically active in childhood.. mean boys!

    Women are fatter too. But that unnecessarily borders on misogynism. So I won't say that

    Yeah, but what about the 60 years in between? Women are probably just as active, if not more.

    I agree, somewhat, where I never did the exercise thing on a regular basis as men tend to do with sports, weights, etc...I did move around 'physically' taking care of 3 kids, 3 dogs and a household!

    thats because physical activities aka extreme/regular sports are more geared towards masuculine men full of testosterone. Women activity is like vacuuming the house, geting grocieries, walking the dog, and maybe going to the gym because "i ate too much last night" boo hoo lazy bitch! im just kidding i just thought this would be a funny joke, if you don't think this is funny at all then just do 50 jumping jacks and 50 push ups, and then your stress/anger at me will have vanished. I love women
