Antigone The Feminazi

In the story, Creon would not dare to talk the way he does to Antigone if she was a man. Theoretically, if she were a man, she would actually be Oedipus' heir, and would therefore be able to claim the throne of Thebes as a king. Instead of Creon talking down upon her the way he does, Antigone would be talking down upon Creon. She would also set the rules in the city of Thebes. So if she wanted to bury her dead father she would be able to do so without question. So her being punished would be out the question; she would be setting the punishments on others because she would be in the seat of power.
In general, the differences between a man and a woman are various. Overall, men tend to excel more in anything involving physical athleticism. This is due to a variety of factors, including the differing body structures and the hormones that distinguish the two sexes. There are exceptions to this clause, of course. Women, on the other hand, tend to have more natural intelligence and when given the resources and, when brought up in the right environment, are able to outwit any man. Studies have actually shown that the attentions span of a woman tends to naturally be much greater than that of man. There are exceptions to this, of course.
