day no. 15,441: better at what?

"My thesis is that the whole hope, and the only hope, lies not in mixing two things together, but rather in cutting them very sharply asunder. That is the only way in which two things can
succeed sufficiently in getting outside each other to appreciate and admire each other. So
long as they are different and yet supposed to be the same, there can be nothing but a
divided mind and a staggering balance. It may be that in the first twilight of time man and
woman walked about as one quadruped. But if they did, I am sure it was a quadruped that
reared and bucked and kicked up its heels. Then the flaming sword of some angel divided
them, and they fell in love with each other. Nobody can argue about whether the Swiss climb mountains better than the Dutch build dykes; just as nobody can argue about whether a triangle is more triangular than a circle is round." -- G.K. Chesterton. What I Saw in America

God made man and woman different. They were not made to be the same. Certainly, one can say they have similarities: they are both made in the image of God, they both have their eyes on the front of their faces and their hands right in front of them. But they were not made for the same purpose. They both have the same end goal, but their contribution to that goal is separate. As Chesterton points out, if they were not more sharply divided in their assigned tasks, they would be placed in direct competition with each other. The modern feminist experiment aims at exactly that in giving full vent to the egalitarian impulse of making everything an even playing field. Except in that scenario, the only evenness that can be achieved, is inescapably a playing field. And on a playing field they keep score. There are no participation ribbons in the eternal economy. There is too much at stake to play at it that way. The playing, in other words, is not mere leisure, but hard work. The playing is not extracurricular, it is necessary; not a hobby, but a glory. 

So, all that to say:

Men are better than women... at being men.

Women are better than men... at being women.
Triangles are better than circles... at being triangular.
Circles are better than triangles... at being circular.

It all depends on what you mean by better -- better by what standard? better at what and for what reason?

Only a fool would come along and say one is better at being a form or shape in general. It depends on what form or shape you were aiming at.

If I set the sun beside the moon,
And if I set the land beside the sea,
And if I set the flower beside the fruit
And if I set the town beside the country
And if I set the man beside the woman
I suppose some fool would talk
About one being better.
-- G.K. Chesterton, Comparisons
