Statistics show that women have really closed the pay gap over the past 20 years. Soon, it will be equal pay for equal work. Yet, women are treated like modern day princesses in America. Cirriculum in schools has been suited towards their needs and because of this fact men are falling behind. Many more women now go to college than men. They are landing high paying jobs as a result. Why do women enjoy free passes on many things? Free drink nights at bars, ladies get in with no cover charge, and on top of that men are almost always expected to buy them drinks when they can't get free drinks from the club. This is another issue, but men are also denied entrance to clubs at times and only ladies are allowed to enter. Quite discriminatory. Many women still expect men to pay for dinner and buy them clothing even though they make as much or more as their man. Something's gotta give here.

While I too fail to find the question in here, I get what you're saying.  It's like so many things now, everyone wants to have it both ways.  You can't have equality with women when they're looking to be courted or spoiled or fetched after. You can't scream for a better educational system when you're collecting welfare. You can't say you're a liberated woman, and demand alimony,  child support etc.  It's an oxymoron, Are you liberated? Are you capable? Can you hold your own? Well honestly you can't, if need a man to support you (sorry sisters, but I've been through it twice don't steal the thunder from the women that DO make it on their own, that DO go without alimony, that actually share child support) It's just the adage you can't have it both ways. I have to stop...

First of all, good for you for having a career and not just a job. Second, there seems to be an increase in jobless, unmoving men. They probably expect women to pick up the slack now that more and more of us are getting high-paying jobs. If you want to meet a career man, I recommend going to Starbucks more often. That's probably the best place to meet affluent single guys.

Those who seek gender equality are the ones feeling inferior. \n\nBut I was shocked just very recently to discover that in some western countries, women are paid less than men! During a recent trip to Amsterdam for example, I was told by a female bus driver that she receives almost 1/3 less than a male driver. How is that possible?\n\nFrom where I come, and I tell you --- we are not even considered FIRST WORLD, men and women receive the same salary for the same job description.

In a nation free of hypocrisy anyone without legal say should not have to pay. What are they paying for? They get no benefits. But as it is now. It is all about the money and pleasing the female voting base. Those vipers in Washington would vote in all males to be castrated if they knew they had a loophole to get ut of it, just so the female voting bloc would be locked up and they can stay in office.

It's a phase. Each time women get more power and autonomy -- as they have in the past couple of decades -- they seem to get scared of the possible consequences; then they start wearing sexier clothes and saying dumber things, so as not to scare the men too much.  And women have gained a lot of economic power lately, so maybe the back-pedalling is that much more noticeable this time.  It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out.

If you are referring to "actual women", they may not want you. All women, well American ones love clothing and fashion. So, if you are wanting a doctor, lawyer, astronaut, chances are, if you don't have a good job making a ton of money, they don't want you

Yea, ladies are more compassionate than guys, you have that right. And I'm sure all moms would like to stay home all day and pick up after their dirty husbands, and watch over the kids, and take care of the whole house. I'm sure they would, really. But people have to make money. Gas, groceries, clothes, and just about everything else is costing way more, and that means that families can't live easily off of one income, unless the husband is a doctor, lawyer, or another super good paying job. And moms work hard--you seem to have very little respect for them.

why do men have to pay more for insurance? there's not a single justification for that ... some women make more money than some men do? where's the justice there?

Here's the crux of it: Nobody wants equality. Everybody wants superiority.\n\nLet's take for example... That's why men hate feminists. They say they feel threatened, because women want to be better than men, that is, to have more privileges than responsibilities. The truth is that men, likewise, want to be in higher standing than women, also. Nobody would mind having more privileges than responsibilities, or being in the dominant group. So it's always a battle for social standing. The ideal of equality is a balance between opposing forces, but it is highly unstable and not likely to ever exist.\n\nI gave the example of men and women, because it is usually less offensive (relatively speaking) than race, but I believe the same battle goes for the races. Nobody really wants equality, and it is just a nice way of putting the following statement, "I want more than I have currently," and it is less offensive if you really do have less than someone else... but if you have more, you don't want to give it up, and so you may try to silently preserve your position.\n\nI do not believe it is something unique to the race or the gender, though. If the positions were completely reversed, where the dominant became the subordinate, and the subordinate became the dominant, it would still run the same way. The subordinate would fight to become the dominant, and the dominant would attempt to preserve its position. \n\nIt may sound bad, but we have to strive to become more, or else there would be no progress. It just depends upon the way you act on it. I just feel like, if you want to have a superior position... Earn that position, and you will benefit others. Expecting to have it handed to you for doing nothing special means that you contribute nothing in return. So I would support affirmative action, only if the people benefitting from it actually worked for their position - such as going to college to earn a degree for the job that they are seeking, if other applicants have done the same.

Ha ha! This is a good one.  I think that one reason for this is the anatomy of the crime; meaning this is a victimless crime.\n\nIt is more likely for men to commit violent crimes than women; this is just pure psychoanalytical knowledge.  So if woman is going to commit a crime, she might tell herself it is "okay" to pass a bad check, because it won't hurt anyone.\n\nAlso, I have noticed that alot of women "hide" their purchases from their spouses and from themselves, so to speak.  This could be due to compulsive spending...which is a common a female problem. They can’t bear the thought of balancing their checkbook because then their problem would become apparent.

IT is true some countries the women are desperate.I went to Myanmar and some very lovely young women were working there butts off for less than 2 US dollars a day. Get one from Myanmar some have never seen  white man in thier lives and it will bring joy to thier families to say there daughter is in America. Go there meet some poor ladies and sweepthem off there feet. I saw many beautiful maids and worker there that would gladly marry you for no money at all.

This is something I have been asking myself for a long time. \n\nEverything you said and more is absolutely correct. The thing that bothers me the most is: men know this. And not only do men know this, they for some crazy reason get upset when the subject comes up. \n\nI mean if you know that women are considered less in this society and you know that women make less for the same jobs and you know that women still don't have equal rights, then why in the hell do you get upset when asked about it? As though, someone were trying to take something from you or something. I just don't get that at all.\n\nHere is an example that my sister experienced a few years ago: she went through a divorce. My mother's house was in her name and my mother sold the house so my sister had to file the paperwork. My sister's exhusband had to sign off on the paperwork even though his name was nowhere on the deed or financing, etc... He blackmailed 5 grand out of her over that for something he never paid a penny on. \n\nNow get this... we were told that in my state, NC, ONLY the MAN has that right. If he had been the one selling a house where her name was not on the deed etc... then he would not have had to get her to sign off on it.\n\nIn today's times, the women work all day too just like the man but then we come home, cook dinner, make sure the kid's homework is done, do the dishes, straighten up the house, bath the kids, etc... While the husband is usually either sitting on the couch watching sitcoms, playing on the computer, or maybe out tinkering with his car in the garage.\n\nAnd men STILL get upset when you bring this stuff up. I personally think the male brain is what is wrong with this world. They truly feel they are 'entitled' to be treated better than women just because they are men... \n\nThe world would be a much better place if we got rid of all the male leaders of this planet. We wouldn't have all this 'cock' fighting over stupid crap.\n\nFunny how when you start talking about 'equality' ppl start calling you a socialist. Also, there have been many many studies of the hostility a woman has to go through in professional male dominated areas. IE, my sister is a mechanical engineer and you would be amazed at the crap she has to tolerate.

I think the boundaries are much more blurred these days. Both men and women are generally much freeer to take up the roles, style, etc that they want to rather than being defined by their gender.\n\nYou have the right approach, to treat people on their merits, but there are still some cultures and institutions where gender bias exists. Women still get paid less on average than their male equivalents. Society as a whole still sees childcare as a more female than male role; so some employers see women as less reliable employees because of that, while some male employees find it harder to get support from their employers for their role as parents.\n\nThere are ways in which men and women do tend to differ, although it's not true of every individual man or woman. Women tend to have better verbal skills and be more empathetic. That's not better or worse than men, but it can make women more naturally suited for the jobs of the 21st century when communication is more important than physical strength. \n\nUnfortunately I think we still judge women more harshly than men on things like appearance and behaviour. There still seems to be an attitude that it is a woman's wider duty to those around her to look attractive & please other people, which does not apply as much to men.

It is like that in the United States too . . . women expect men to pay for everything . . . dinner, drinks, shopping sprees, etc . . . if not they hold out.  And if they did . . . women still hold out . . . depending if the guy is hot enough.\n\nThe entire dating scene . . . is a form of legalized prostitution . . . that is it.\n\nWomen will deny it . . . but it true . . . \n\nAnd I have source for you to listen too.

YOu are right, guys are not gentlemen any more. However that's partly because women tend to be so independent now and it intimidates men. \n\nLadies, please let's be ladies and allow men to be men. If they want to pay for your meal, let him. He wouldn't have asked if he didn't mean it. Stop telling guys that you don't need them because you can do it all by yourself. Sure we can do things by ourselves...and that's just what will happen on those lonely nights...we will be by ourselves. Get back to the days when women didn't swear like men or out drink men or even dress like men. Men will get back to opening doors, holding doors open and even holding the umbrellas for women when women act like ladies. \n\nOh sorry, this question was about what we'd like men to do for us huh? lol\n\nI'd like more respect especially from the younger males. What's up with this "hey ma" or hey mami or what up boo?" I did not birth any one of them, and I definitely am not a ghost. So just say how you doing Ms. Nice day, I like your smile..etc. And the saying "can I get those digits" NO YOU CAN NOT HAVE MY FINGERS lol. \n\nAnyway, just give us some intellectual conversation ok. Continue to hold the doors open. Tell us how nice we look, not just cause you want to get under our dresses, but because it's sincere.

To a certain extent they are.  Men and women can apply for the same jobs, whether as a secretary or a CEO.\nBut the lines are still firmly drawn in other areas.  A girl is still "easy" if she sleeps with someone, and a boy is just being a boy.\nIf you watch 3-5 year old children you will still see boys playing with action figures and trucks while girls still play with dolls.\nThe opportunities for women are expanding every day, but, there are still many drawbacks.\nA working mother still doesn't love her children enough, but a man is supporting his family.\nThe gender bias is still there, but fading.\nMore and more men are deciding to be stay at home dads.  Some are still ridiculed, but it is easing.\nMost of the problem would go away if people could just go for what they do best without being looked at askance.  \nIf you look at the long run, you will see we've come a long way from the 50's and 60's.  We have come out of the dark ages, but we still need to move into the Renaisance.
