Do you think women pushed equal rights to far?

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.

Certainly... women are more aware of the freedom that they can get and they are not ready to compromise for anything now.. thus they are independant and dont think that in order to get accepted in the society,you need to get married..

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.

If by equal rights you mean one group had a chance to be discriminated against, now the other group has that same chance, then sure.  If you mean the same rights to all people regardless of race, color or creed, then no.

Women's movement stretched when they felt their rights were violated why they could not congregate in groups or on the street...it was not tolerated or allowed.\n\nThe Wig party in Congress showed a more stronger approach not to associate women in Congress when their was none, it was opposed to hide the indifference in voting and yet it stirred a great talk amongst the ladies in the 1800's and that talk would eventually lead to Susan B Anthony giving us our great Flag that Women could do things that were accepted by Man and that was the turning point of women in America that would take charge when the Men went to War and Women stayed at home and started working Man Jobs to keep the economy rolling. They excelled better than Men in most cases and the path was set for good and would never be broken Even after the War, women were tossed back at home when our Soldiers came back from the War, but determined and strong the Women's movement started to accelerate and there was no more housewife to get, she was part of America's turn around and that is a fact that lives on today!

Is it right? No. Women want equal treatment, but it isn't quite true. You guys like ot pick and choose when to be equals and when not to be for your advantage. You claim to deserve better job wages, even for hard "man's work" because a woman has as good potential for her strength as a man, but if a woman can punch and really hits a guy, all of a sudden he shouldn't fight back because your a frail, weak, fragile woman. It is total b ullshit.\n\nBy the way, I would never hit a woman, but I do realize it is b ullshit.

the ideal of women lower or less important than men goes back thousands of years, and believe it or not, it is still thought of that way in the good ole usa. Statistics still shows that women get less pay then men doing the same job and that men prefer doing business with men instead of women. This ideal was twisted way back when, by men probably..LOL...but it started out that women were respected deeply, honored, loved by men as equals, but somehow it changed where women walked behind the man, stayed home, made the man happy, and etc etc. All wrong of course, but maybe the fault also lies with the woman, who long ago, allowed that to change..ya think

from my point of view we have understimated the value of women in the society, many times had been seen that women do better in certain things that are supouse to be done by a man, i think she will make a terrific president, much better than the ass right now, i encourage people to think...not to act as macho without a brain..

First of all i am a woman.  Equal rights goes both ways.  I understand that being your wife was her "JOB" but come on, seriously what other job stills pays you three years later?!

I do agree with you on this point.  However, this is not grounds to give women special rights.  For instance:  I have seen records of court cases in which the father is a decent man but the mother is on drugs and all the problems that come with it.  The father gets a divorce because the mother neglects the kids and she still gets custody on the grounds that "Children need their mother."  \n\nI agree with you, but equal rights does not mean special rights.

personally. women of yesterday are greater than us now. they had more strict standards to live by and they probably had a lot more pressure and expectations from men.

Honey, I think it's time to take religion out of this equation. I have to agree that if ANY radically right-wing group gains full control women won't be the only ones who lose any concept of rights.

If there are more women than men it can't be by very much\nstatistically. Historically speaking,men have dominated women\nbecause of greater physical strength. Things are changing,\nthough,maybe some day sexual equality will be a reality.\nWe probably won't see it-not to the full extent anyway.\nGive it a hundred years.

YES and Yes. Basically you have rights accorded to by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.....unles they may offend someone.  \n\nI still can't get used to the fairytale, The Pigment Challenged Womyn and the 7 Height Challenged Men.

Most of these women are first to play both sides of the "sex" battle I mean when it works to their advantage they plea the feminin approach when it doesn"t they pull the feminist card  Personally I think we had a whole lot more rights before they started burning their bras . Men had respect for us they opened doors for us spoke appropriately I would take those days back any day luckily I am married to one of those old fashion gentlemen

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.
