Do you really think you're inherently superior to the average teenage girl? Really?
On what metric? Ah, intelligence? Productivity? Technology skills? Contribution to humanity's scientific progress? And who decided that those are the way to measure the superiority of one human being over another?
You say "moral relativism", but I don't think you've looked up the definition of that term. Moral relativism is about the evaluation of moral judgements and actions, not of people's intrinsic worth.
Fundamentally, you're only "better" than a crazy teenage girl according to metrics that you've made up. For example, if the ability to give birth to and nurture children is picked, you (assuming you're male) would be intrinsically "worse".
You got it exactly backwards, I meant they were better. That you assumed otherwise tells us more about the relative esteem in which you hold the two than it does about anything I could say.
Ah, sorry, I, er, misunderestimated you then. I don't think it tells about the esteem I hold for those two groups - more about the assumptions I make about HN users.
