Are men and women really equal?  email this discussion to a friend?

We always talk about equality between men and women but are we really taking the issue about equality seriously.
Every now and then I hear in the news that women can do everything that the men can do and some even says that women can do better then mens so if that is the case then why is there no boxing match between men and women and why is there a seperate team for women and seperate team for men in sports like football, cricket, baseball, etc.

What I mean to say is are we giving equal rights to both men and women or are we just fooling ourselves.

The woman can't do everything the man does.The man has testosterone so it has a lot more strengh than a woman and can do all the things that require strenght.And i think the man is slitly more inteligent (in any case in Romania is true).I would not let my girlfriend to cut wood for a fire just to make me know that she has strenght too,she could get hurt :).But when it comes of something intelectual i think she can do something as good as me,but not on IT because this is my job :D

That's what I want to say is no matter how much we say that men and women are different yet we know that that both are not equal and they will will never be equal because this is a universal law.

"Equal", but not "the same", as there are major gender differences. Feminists have tried unsuccessfully to deny this for decades. Men and women have different sets of strengths and weaknesses. They need each other, and together they can achieve a succesful, happy life.

I agree, the differences between men and women makes them complement each other.

We are equal in the eyes of God.

Equality does not mean physical. When we speak of equality in men and women we speak of their rights, and equal being human.

Women are created to be the helpmate of men, and was created from the bones of men. So there is suppose to be a subordination of women to men, however, there are also suppose to be norms that men should follow and under a strict code of conduct should men behave to get eligible for women's submission to them, search the bible for you to gain understand of what I am trying to impart to you.

As women of today, assert your right and do not allow men o trample you, or much wort abuse you. Do not allow yourself to get fooled in submitting to their wimps. Get equal with men because both of you are human beings and deserve each others respect. Get financial independence because men tends to abuse women who does not know how to take care of them self, they also tend to abuse women who loves them so much, you know. Take care of yourself


myLot reputation of 90/100. wasim989 (1959)   ranked 21 out of 774 in travel the world  6 years ago

Yeah I agree with you that both men and women should have equal rights but that does not means that women can do everything a man can do and a man can do everything a women can do I mean no matter how much we talk about it there is going to be a major difference between this 2 sexes.

Hate to tell you but even god thinks women are less. They are the reason that humans got kicked out of the garden of eden.

yes we do always talk about equality between men and women but of course us woman will never really be equal to man, woman do try these days to do more than they did yesturday but they can't do everything that a man can do that is just impossible. I do believe in many ways that we are fooling ourselves.

As far as I'm concern the equality between man and woman have limitations. Like intelligence, man & women can both equal in this category. Skills and talents too. As to masculine power, I would rather say that man are stronger than woman. I would like to conclude it this way, considering the intangible aspects, both genders could be equal. But as to tangible aspects, there maybe several aspects that men excels more than women. I hope you get my idea.


myLot reputation of 90/100. wasim989 (1959)   ranked 21 out of 774 in travel the world  6 years ago

That's the same I want to say here that there is some difference and it is going to stay like this till the human kind exists.

look,physically of course men are no match for women...and i sincerely mean this !! imagine if men had to give birth...there would not be any children around !! but in other cases as you mentioned, one simply cannot have sports between the genders coz men have sturdier bodies than women (generally)...but in any intellectual or artistic field, men and women are equal !


myLot reputation of 90/100. wasim989 (1959)   ranked 21 out of 774 in travel the world  6 years ago

Thanks for your response but I would like to add is what you think is a physical strength I think it is the mental strength of the women which is more then men because I think god has given strength according to the requirements like since men are the main bread earner of the family therefore they are given the task of supporting and protecting the family likewise women have been given more mental strength so that she can encourage her family to be a better one.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lpetges (2311)   ranked 578 out of 774 in travel the world  6 years ago

i think men and women are not equal at all, and so what? We each have a differnt purpose for being here on earth, and how we achieve what we do and get isn't whether we are man or woman.

I don't think that men and women are equal because of the body types, for instance a woman cant work on a construction site like a man can, or just plain sexism some times. People often think that a woman isn't capable to do thing better than a man can, personally i think thats just b.s. if a woman think that she can do the job, the least she can do is try it and if she can't, well she just learned a lesson and can try something else.

men and women are equals but not in the way you and the rest of women right acitvist think of.first of all to make it clear with you that in sports , it is out of respect to women that we have a separate team for genders, it is not descrination,and the mere fact that women now are accepted by society to participate in some games that were taboo few years back.we, men and women, should understand that there are things women should not do and vice versa. it's about our cultural background and historical set up,and at times our it is being dictated physiologically.do not get me wrong, there are a lot of women nowadays who are far mor powerful than men when it comes to positional supremacy in society. be it be in sports, schools, government and a lot more. so , please, do not descriminate youself.just do your thing and don't mind us, men.go girl power!

Well, if men and women really were considered equal, women would be allowed to fight in the front line. They can't right now, and I know some women that could do it.

If men and women were equal, there wouldn't be such a difference in salaries and raises and promotions and such, like there are.

If men and women were really equal, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

In old environment it was not equal because there was a trend in Asian countries that man and woman does not have equal opportunities in the environment but it was there in western countries. Now this equality of men and women is also there in Asian countries because of education and lot of girls are taking advance education and after that they try to compete with the environment and in future when females brought up their children they teach them what they have learned, and the environment get boomed because of this situation.
