Is gender equality a hypocrisy in the progressive society?
478809
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.

Karl Marx argued that the law is a self serving tool for the upperclass.\n\nThe legislature and judiciary, predominantly, are composed of rich white males. These rich white males are unlikely ever to  make law that conflicts with their interests, so based on Marx's arguement, you could question whether any law is not sexist or racist!\n\nSorry, for the massively indirect answer... i am not american and my knowledge on american law is scrappy, but the arguement above is a feminist arguement and also the critical race theory! - something to think about!

Women don't think that they are superior, it is actually the men that think that.  When a man asks that question it is like he is saying that women think that they are superior, but they are not.\n\nMen have some superior qualities to women, and women have some superior qualities to men, but I think that in the end it all evens out and both are equal.

I'm sure there are many reasons for gender-limited institutions and policies. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by position and valence issues. unless you are talking about government-sponsored programs like health research, job placement, or educational opportunities, then I don't know what it would have to do with attracting voters.

yes it a clear cntradiction with the claim of bahaism of gender equality in that faith. Bahaism is a male dominanted faith .\nRegarding their constitution the womew are not allowed to be clected as a member of universal house of justice which is a high ranking governing body of bahaism.\nApart from this clear contradiction there are also many diffferences of the rights of men and women such the share of inheritant and the marriage regulations and .....

I would tend to say disagreement.\n\nMany, many women today have reversed their opinions regarding the militant feminists movement of the 1960s. Many women now think it is thier most important responsibility in life to properly raise their children.\n\nThe militant feminist movement of the 1960s did a lot of harm to our society.\n\nReady for some politically incorrect observations?\n\n* Women can't do everything men can do.\n* Men can't do everything women can do.\n* Realistically, women take care of families better.\n* Realisitcally, men are better wage earners.\n* There is a REASON traditional roles of males and females in the household evolved as they did.\n* 5,000 years of evolution can't be wrong.\n\nI am not saying things can't be made better. All I am saying is that Mother Nature has developed roles for men and women regarding families. And many are rediscovering those roles.\n\nBlast away, Feminazis.

Good point but not completly true. There are many women who make a specific effort not to seem sexist by discriminating against men. The women you seem to be around are probobly neo-feminists, women who believe that they have the right to look down on men because men looked down on women in the past. Most feminists are actually quite reasonable about sexism. Feminism is used as a derogatory label but all a feminist is is someone who feels women and men are equal, which we are. When you meet women who feel that all men are sexist, ask them about it. If nothing else, you'll get to see things from a new point of view. Good luck!

Many people are also apparently unaware that the 1973 Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would have made women equal, was struck down for two reasons:\n1.  Society couldn't stomach women in combat, and\n2.  It opened the door to gay rights.\n\nWhy do people assume women are equal?\n\nAnd, I think liberals have given Bush god status, not conservatives.

It has generally been thought (in the past) that males have been the dominant of the species.\n\nHowever, now women and men are considered to be equals, and neither one is dominant.

i agree, people are to quick to jump to the 'sexist' card, there are some things that are sexist though, the insurance thing is sexist - because not all men are shi.t drivers and men drive more than women it has been proved. \n\nbut for mens clubs they can bar women, its not like men are allowed to anne summers parties are we?? lol \n\nif men want somewhere without women, so be it, if women want somewhere without men, thats fine too

They are equal in rights and deserve the same amount of respect but are not 'identical'.\n\nFor example, a woman's body is not as tough as that of a man therefore forcing her (mostly thru propaganda) to work in industry and other rough-n-tough environments is simply exploitation. They are exploited in the name of equal rights in many ways by man. \n\nOne more example, they are made to wear (again tactfully) less cloths to entertain  man's lustful eyes while he himself wears 6 times more cloths to protect his dignity...\n\nSpecially in west, a male is trained to earn more and more money while a female is taught how to lure the rich - as a party doll.

I suppose the opposite would also be a bias question.  Would the world be better run by women?  I think that egual representation all around would be ideal.  Keep in mind, there are plenty of great male representatives and plenty of bad ones.  Again, the same can be said for females.  So, the question should be, is it important that free society be governed by fair rulers?

i'm a guy 36.  sometimes i do think it has been pushed too far.  (for a lack of a better term)  many women have bought into it and they have worked extremely hard for those equal rights that they do deserve.  the thing is that some didn't know and didnt' realize that it cost them so many other things.  i beleive that some women had to become so strong for those rights that it might of cost them a few good relationships and maybe even a family.

I think you misunderstood about the meaning of equality here.\nIt simply means nobody is to be discriminated because of his/her sex. It never said that everybody has to be equal in the sense of identical. \nIn other words, to make it more clear what is really meant:\nTreat EVERYBODY equally regardless of any aspect. \nBecause we all know that there are no humans that are 100% identical, not even identical twins...

Feminism: promoting the feminine or the masculine?
