Men and Women...Are we really "equal"?
366021
yes they are, men and women are equal. but so many people just dont understand that even though they are equal, they have different roles in life. God made men to provide and lead, he made women to care and support. or something like that. but they are equal.\n\n\nyou want a reliable source!? no offence, but the bible has been proved to be the most correct source of history. there is so much evidence to support the Bible that it amazes me how people can say its all crap then listen to other sources that dont know ANYTHING.

If you skip over the qualified for the less qualified it is unfair to all of us as a society.  How is it treating people equally when you don't reat them equally????  You look at the sex, nationality origin, physical characteristics or skin color and say... YES I PICK YOU because you're white, a woman and have a limp...\n\nNO way in any stretch of the imagination are you then treating people EQUALLY!

Men and women are not equal but neither is superior. I know that sounds almost contradictory and I suppose it might be if you narrow it down to specific areas such as physical strength. But overall I think it is a valid statement. It is like the ancient Chinese idea of Yin and Yang, 2 halves of a whole. To say one gender is superior to another is really comparing apples and oranges.

Women are Women, the only difference is WHO they are. So to answer your question---NO.

O.k. some of the guys possibly reading this are not likely to like my answer, but, here goes.\nI believe that women are most definitely "equal to" men in every single way, (except when it comes to physical strength, and that's a general statement)- and superior to (or more "evolved", if you prefer), in other ways. (That is the part men aren't going to like to hear!)\nAnthropological studies have thus far traced the existence of "man" back to a an AFRICAN WOMAN. Women were also the first to learn to "communicate" with one another (referring to humans in general). Women have highly developed social skills right down to this day, and, in my opinion, have developed many skills critical to survival that men just haven't developed much of at all. (They haven't had to. Women have been taking care of them since human beings first appeared on earth!)\nWe, as women, bring forth new life onto this planet- (sure, with the sperm donation of men)- but it's the women who generally care for and raise and teach and nurture these new lives. We don't get half the credit we deserve for our abilities and our intellect, but that is where a big fault with women does apply- because we are generally not motivated by our egos, we have allowed ourselves to take this "back seat" in society, figuring we could profit in other ways- or keep the peace (which is also very important to us). However, now we live in a "man's world", and don't seem to have woke up to the fact that it is just as much our own doing- our own "fault"- as it is men's. It's time for change. It's time for women to band together and be heard. We are not a "minority" in number, and in this country (because we live in a democratic society)- we have the opportunity TO BE HEARD and our "votes to count"- but not enough women seem to care. That needs to change. We will continue to hold this place in society until we (as a whole) accept nothing less than what we deserve, and that is respect- but it begins first with ourselves. \n\nWe need to learn to respect ourselves. If we do not, how can we expect anyone else to do so, and who else then do we have to blame?

Well, I have to say that I am sorry that you have run into a woman who could not appreciate you for who you are and what you have to offer, but I have to say that all women do not blame all of our problems on men.\n\nI am a firm believer in the fact that it is fairly unlikely for any problems involving more than one person to be the fault of any one person. I do believe that woman are very capable of contributing to the problems and successes of their relationships. \n\nTo me, the issue really becomes are we both able to acknowledge and accept are our role in the storyline of our relationships. Just as I think it is unfair for all men to be categorized, I believe that it is unfair for all women to be categorized.\n\nBoth men and women are capable of doing some low down things and of being disrespectful to their mate, neither sex is immune. The whole thing comes down to having the ability to recognize right from wrong, having the ability to treat one at least as well as we hope to be treated, and the ability to refrain from participating in behaviors that are hurtful....and finally, having the ability to tell our mates that if they are not giving us what we need that the relationship has to end. (And I don't mean that just from the prospective of a woman...we are all guilty of it)\n\nSo in essence, it comes down to being able to effectively dialogue one with another to maintain a good, working relationship.

i think women are smarter... and that they rule the world... that being said; women have let the world go down the drain!\n\nj/k :P\n\nwouldn't the fact that both of them are average mean that they are on par with eachother?

Equal just means that we have equal rights it doesn't mean that everyone is equal in other ways, everyone is different. We all have different wants and needs.

no. mostly because i don't feel like women should HAVE to be perfectly equal with men. or that my husband should do the same amount of chores around the house as I do. I feel empowered as a woman by knowing that I am taking perfect care of my household and recieving the appreciation from my husband and family. I consider myself old fashioned for sure and it's not usual for a girl my age (mid twenties) but that's the way I have always felt.

I don't, but you know what I dint think men and women should be equal.  There are certain levels of equality I would like to see that others may not agree with such as a woman president, and so forth. I mean hey who knows they may actually make a great president.  I do that think some of our feminist leaders are defiantly going over bored.  As far as asking for to much, I would need an example but other than that, yes I would agree that their a little outspoken and unable to back themselves up.

all men are created equal

I don't even think all people are equal. The beauty is we are all different, yet each has the opportunity to exist as a part of the whole sum. That is like asking if all dogmas, religions, politics or forms of economy are equal. There is no perfect system or even human form.\nLet this be understood. A portion is offered each.\nExist within mutually considerate orientation, or not, only then is your portion received.\nThis is not a matter of saying who it is, where it is or what or why it is. It is spread among, upon, within and throughout, equally and evenhandedly.\n\nEarth molecule and organism throughout requires humble reciprocation. Each component inter and co dependent.

Well, when it comes to my choice of gender for a wife and sex partner, I'd say women are definitely better than men!

Western culture treats us as equal because of the ERA, womens rights movements, and feminist groups that demand equality.  Unfortunately, there seems to be an either/or side-effect.  We are either unisex beings with no differences, or we become stereotypes of man/woman.  There is no middle ground yet because the politically correct crowd is afraid of stepping on toes.

Men think they are better...but behind every strong man their is a stronger woman_
