Imagine writing all this bs and actually thinking you're schooling someone. Lions hunt just as much as lionesses. Do you think every lion has a pride to do his bidding? Even the ones that do have one, also hunt together with them at times, simply because there are certain types of prey that they are better equipped to kill. Manes have many uses, intimidation might not even be one or if it is, not the main one (lol).

Data shows that they are thicker on colder climates and thinner on hot ones, so they might serve as insulation. Biologists have speculations too, some claim they are for protecting the throat in a hunt/fight, others claim its a sexual marker, to show how fine a specimen one is, etc, etc.

Here, a couple of articles that show how they are both perfectly fine hunters, not one is "better" than the other, rather filling their own niche of hunting tactics, like you know, nature found roles for them to work in.

https://www.pri.org/stories/2013-03-19/male-lions-new-study-shows-how-they-hunt#:~:text=A new study shows that,females cooperate together to hunt.&text=Male lions are proving to,females do all the work.

https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/male-lions-do-help-hunting-after-all-6C10149668

Many do have many uses, some of which you mentioned, some are just speculative projections especially the insulation one (then why would lioness or kids not have them), size of manes depending mostly on environment, Africa is mostly hot and humid but environnement being overt they evolved larger mane than in South Asia, which is also hot and humid but environment are covert in jungles (hence the effect of vegetation).

In fact none of the links you quoted and which don't demonstrate anything new, never said males hunt as much as the females, in fact while guarding territories and progeniture usually situated at the entry between overt zones and zone with vegetation, male lion casually hunt sometime in the process of defending, but not nearly as much as female.

Are you joking? Your claim was that lionesses are better hunters than lions. What I claimed and backed up with sources was that you are wrong on that claim. Both are perfectly fine hunters, they just have different tactics while hunting and that they also hunt together cuz lions are better equipped to kill bigger prey.

Your last line is particularly jarring when it was my claim that lions generally hunt just as much as lionesses, not more, not less. The reason is simple for that, most lions dont have a pride, but they still need to eat, so if they dont hunt, they die.

But not as much as Darth Fed who used so much he contracted Benjamin Buttons disease.

Competitive scores are systemically mysoginist and racist. How dare you.

Also weightlifting competitions.

Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player of all time PERIOD.

Lol you are a good troll, Lo pan is pleased, have a like

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Thanks Mate!

For the record, I think Serena Williams did/does steroids.

I also think the majority of NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, Tennis, Rugby, Soccer etc...players do steroids too.

How do you train to be good at Poker?

How do you train to be good at Poker?

You learn the mathematical odds and apply it to a keen sense of reading the way other people think to give yourself the best possible outcome you can for any situation.

Poker is an interesting topic. With it being about petty manipulation, women really should be naturally better at it.

That's interesting I was friends with an asian girl who was an incredible poker player and better than any of my guy friends, she turned out to be also incredibly manipulative with probably a borderline personality disorder

 

[Whitecrow]

That's not wrong, that's not true either, mostly that's pseudo-scientific naturalism. For exemple a naturalist would say that the Lion is the king of the jungle, therefor according to ideological anthropomorphic projections from humains, the male Lion hunts for food and is a predator.

Nature not being "stupid" or doing pseudo-science, it turns it's completely false: female lions having a higher ratio of muscle to fat therefor being more agile, and having no mane therefor being more discreet, are the ones who mostly hunt, while the male lion having a lower muscle to fat ratio but being heavier, is the one better equipped to "stay home" to protect the kids and the territory and even evolved a big mane to intimidate away predators.

So your "survival" bullshit has nothing to do with science, anthropology or even zoology, it's just simpleton ideological projection. However current women's and men's brain are indeed wired differently on average, and there are reasons that don't have much to do with genetics which are just the encoded pass-through of conditioning, experience, health etc...

Survival is the ultimate goal of all species since forever.
It's impossible that genes doesnt have any kind of print of it with all our years of existence.

This is surprising because everyone knows that women make up about half of all gamers, if not more!

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if a woman was in the top tier of a competitive video game league if they took the time to do all the training and practice. They may not be the majority, but there are a lot of good female gamers.

 

[Majukun]

what it's their score now that they compete in all female events?

because the story seem more about a failing team scrapping together whatever player they could find with the little money they had left and surviving through the gimmick than this being some kind of statement on the level of female players.

aka, they probably sucked compared to the good female players too.

i'm still amconvicned the average level is lower anyway though, much like in all other sports there are countries that are historically really good or really bad at any given sport, and this comes up to how popular said sport in said country is, what their tradition and aka the level of training and so on.

Tennis is physical so obviously there separated. Vidoegames are not so there isn't the same reason for them to be separated. Of course if there are far less of them playing seriously there standard is going to be considerably lower.

It's not. That's a myth. That's one of the goals, there's reason why suicide exists amongst not just human but animals, as well as sacrifie or kamikaze. It's a bit more convoluted depending on the species. But in any case in order to survive (and reproduce) a species as to be "pragmatic", animals are, humans are not and invents myths or projects on animals in a skewed way to justify their action.

And optimum society of human is a society where there are only singular individuals, being the best of themselves, to be able to do/contribute what they do best. Today's society is not individualistic (in the Nitzschean way) but normative, people are mostly the product of heritage, education, conditioning, culture, interactions...rather than individual which only a minority manages to become (usually the smarter but not always the successful ones).

Then when you take the big numbers, if everybody was an individual, that's unlikely that as many females are good at video game as men, but there are tons of reasons SJWs don't want to acknowledge why it's not the case, and it has nothing to do with nature, it's not just conditioning, but mainly their own irresponsabilisation and infantilisation...

Kinda off topic, but that reminds me of Tifanny, a transsexual volleyball player here in Brazil that competes in the female tournaments. Tifanny absolutely destroys almost every player and has generated a lot of debate about the fairness in this.

Because there's no fairness in it, for now at least, she may be a woman as in having a female brain, but she has a masculine body and apparently other female competitors haven't catch'ed up for now.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

lol.

If this team is so bad, how could they even qualify for these world tournaments? Is it like tennis and golf where quirky celebs or a pro player who hasn't played in 3 years gets a bye without even needing to qualify for sake of entertainment?

 

[Pejo]

I remember hearing about this League team back when it was happening. My thoughts then are the same as now - whichever teams had to play them got essentially a free win which was totally unfair to the rest of the teams. Segregation by race or gender or whatever is so fucking stupid, especially when done for the sake of diversity.

That said, that video in the OP is the longest VPN advertisement I ever sat through.

The Problem With Seraphine

My problem with Seraphine is kind of personal. My problem with her is that I think she’s based on me.

Feminists always think they can beat men in everything, which is why they probably wouldn't want separate leagues.

Also, how come in that girls only team, every girl is attractive? What are the chances a team of skilled LOL guys would look like this?

Or do they? I'm not into professional LOL so i don't know.

They don't look like that but they are on average normal looking people, if anything skinnier and more fit than the average young population, at least in the US. The most noticable divergence from norm is that Koreans make up a large portion of professional LoL, even in North America and China leagues.

Edit. Woops, this is an old thread.
