does equality exsist??

Many men/women tend to look past that quality which makes that person special.  Our society rewards beauty, and while this is not fair, it is a fact.\n\nFor those who are guided by their own standards and phiolsophy, we see the person for what they are. Caring, loving. Worth having.  Hope this has helped.

Wow, this could almost be asked under Philosophy, too.  There is so much I could say in answer to this provocative line of thought, but maybe I will just keep it simple for once in my life:\nIf we think of men and women simply as the two inseparable halves of one whole, without both of which being in healthy existence, there would be no human species, then the question of equality becomes moot.\nYes, each half has by nature been given strengths and genetic "jobs" to fulfill, both necessary to the ultimate survival of the species.\nOn top of that we have been given awesome intellect and deep emotional and spiritual reservoirs to allow us an existence raised above the mere day to day survival necessities of food, shelter and procreation.\nSo, my answer to your question is that we are equal by our natures.  Different, but no less equal. We are partners, not combatants.

As long as people and groups of people strive to be different and are recognized for differences, we will never be equal.  In essence, people cannot be different but equal.  Now, the question is, if we were to break down all differences in the name of equality so that we'd all be the same, would we still be human?

No, I don't think homosexuals should have equal rights.  I don't support gay marriage, or homosexuality in general.  It confuses our children and has a negative impact on society.  If God wanted two men or two women to be together, he wouldn't have given men a penis and women a vagina.  I'm a firm believer that nobody is born gay, but is either raised or decides to be gay.  So I think it is something you can control and if you make the decision to be gay, you shouldn't be demanding equal rights.

equal rights/affirmative action while noble in thought are actually divisive in that there is one side that gets screwed over the other.  It is a joke and I can't believe that there are still occurances from what you described.  I really feel for you man.  hope your luck changes.

equal will happen, but women have to stop being felt like they are owed something.  this isn't true for all and i am not a sexist.  i am just a traditional guy who wants to be able to provide for my wife and children.\n\nas a waiter, my experiences are different work-wise, but it seems that for themost part the femalse are always trying to get someone else to do their job, "oh, your stronger than me," or "oh, i can;t reach that."  i know, i sound bitter, but i am, some of the women i have worked with have never ever acted as an equal to me.  on the other hand, there have been women who have run laps around me and i have respected tremendously.\n\nall in all, some will still look at women disrespectfully, but to me if you earn the respect you deserve the respect, no matter the race, sex, religion, whatever.

Clearly it seems that you do not believe that men and women are equal.  When feminists suggest that men and women are equal, I understand it to mean that men and women should have equal rights in society regardless of their sex.\n\nRape is the process of a person taking another's freedom and rights, subjugating them completely and humiliating them, all without their consent.  This is usually done by a man to a woman or a man to another man through the use of sexuality.  Rape degrades the sex act from the beautiful and sacred thing it is, to a tool for the evil of humiliation.  It is possible for a woman to rape a man.  Arousal does not amount to consent.  But this is an entirely separate issue from the equality of men and women in society.  \n\nIf a woman were to rape a man, that does not imply that she is equal to or better than that man or any other man.  If a man rapes a woman, that does not make him somehow better than either the woman he raped or any other woman.  Rapists are troubled people with control issues. \n\nTo conclude, equality can and should exist alongside diversity and difference.  Rape is an evil crime that has no business getting mixed up in the feminist debate.

AMEN! \n\nI am sick of special programs for minorities. Where is the scholarship for the white boy who grew up poor? Certainly he has a much harder time in life than any rich minority.\n\nIf people want to be treated as equals, then they must eliminate the programs that allow them special privileges. Until I see minorities protesting against hiring quotas, hate crime laws, and other such racist things, they will not be seen as "equals". The government has many laws telling me that they are not equal to others, so how can I argue that point?

Nope. It's perfectly fair. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You have ups and downs but it all evens out in the end.\n\n"Everything happens for a reason."\n\nChin up!

I don't have a problem with asking a man out.  If I like him and want to go to dinner with him I'll ask.  But I get what you're saying.  If you want equality, it's equality in everything not just selected things.

NO, I'm afraid it's NOT going to be all right.  Sorry, but equality must be observed at all costs: it has to be half left!!

I think you mean equality, then it is self explanitory

I dont. I think when women make that statement, they need to really think about it first.\nWhen I think about equality, its more about fairness. If Im doing a mans job, which I am, I should be paid equally. I work my as* off picking up 60-80 lb cases and I certainly dont wait for my male coworkers to come and help. If I took the job, I should be able to do it. \n I also believe that if I ask a man out for a drink then I should be the one paying and not get pissed off when he doesnt automatically open his wallet.
