When will laws convict equal numbers of women and men? I.e. when will the law treat men and women equally?

Do you believe that women and men break an equal number of laws?  If so, who commits more crime outside the home?\n\nI'd bet that men commit more crimes outside the home.

Women getting the same rights as men.

After a bit of snooping I was unable to find any news regarding increased violence or other discriminatory actions vs. women's groups in the United States. \n\nAccording to Amnesty International, discrimination against women still exists in 36 countries.  I'll include in my sources a link to a recent example of this in Iran.\n\nHope that helps,\nArmus

God never changed his perspective on women, they have always been free agents.  Keep in mind the treatment of women start and end with what MEN and WOMEN do.  God never intended things like divorces but temporary provisions had to be made in the law.  Womens rights have only been granted on account of  recent human enlightenment.  Bear in mind also that women arent free in every country today!\n\nIf people had always lived by Biblical principles they would know and understand that all mankind (including women) are created equal in Gods eyes.  God got just as mad in the Bible when women sinned as he did when men sinned.  One could make a strong argument though that the reason for womens rights have come as a result of free nations that God created to begin with!

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.

No.  When it comes to females in the criminal justice system there is an overwhelming presumption of innocence, whereas men are always guilty unless they can prove they didn't do it.\n\nWomen almost always receive more lenient sentencing then men, and in the rare cases they go to jail the terms are shorter and the conditions are better.  Probation sentences are shorter as is assignments to community service.  The woman's prisons deal more with rehabilitation and are more successful then men's prison's, although this can be partially attributed to the lower population in woman's facilities.

I agree, it would be nice.  I suppose I am naive and think everyone should be held to the same standard.  It does send a bad message as now there is a pervasive attitude in America they 'everyone' thinks they should get away with everything.  It's not entrely because politicians getting away with stuff, but it doesn't help.  \n\nIt is a timely question.  If you read the Declaration of Independance you'll see how "all men are created equal" and "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."  So clearly they should not be held above us, should not be above the law and should be tried and convicted if found guilty.

It should be equal.  We don't live in a society like Iran where women are treated like dirt.  Women have just as many rights as men.

I imagine equal opportunities would play a big part so prepare for anything related to that, e.g how would you ensure people you deal with are treated equally and fairly? also try and include examples in the past of when you have tried to ensure equality regardless of race, religion sex etc....

probably anywhere but the US. The macho men & women of this country first need to get over their fear, bias & hangups against women in power.

i dont really know, but what i do know is that in Pakistan islamic laws at the moment say that if a woman is raped they have to have 4 male witnesses or they are tried for adultry, and they are only considering changing the law now!

Yes, I think it time women took control of the Equal Rights. AND, remember, when you ask us out you pay the way, and, you better respect us in the morning! ;-D

The legal system in Israel treats men and women equally, in accordance with the Israeli Declaration of Independence from 1948.  Women also receive paid maternity leave, and all that good stuff.  \nThe only area of law where women may be treated differently is in matters of marriage and divorce, which are run by respective religious courts (Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc.) This is a remanent of Ottoman (Turkish) and British colonial rule.  They governed according to their own rule, and much of Israeli law to this day is still based on British law, but they left religious matters to religious courts for fairly obvious reasons.  Part of the reason for why this hasn't changed is because Israel, as a Jewish State, has no separation of church and state.\nBut overall, things are alright, and definitely better than any other country in the Middle East.

I agree.  Women should also be able to marry multiple men.  This is just the legislation of morality, and there is no victim, as long as the participants are all of legal age.  We have legalized a lot of other things (such as domestic partners and sodomy), and there is no real reason in my mind for this last holdout.  If you are going to legalize some of it, you might was well legalize it all.

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, absolutely. Men and women are different and together we amount to greater than the sum of its parts. When women try to do the things that men are better at and men try to do the things that women are better at, all of society opperates LESS efficiently, and everyone suffers, especially children. And since we all know that children are the future, society slowly decays as a result.

I have to say never. It's kinda like Blacks and Whites(no racism intended for sensitive types) We are just different, and there will always be people, both men and women, who will look on the other sex as inferior.
