Are men and women equal?

Socialy we are expected to treat women as our equals and not to demene there inteligence, morals etc.

It has come to thought recently that while we are vastly different in personalities men seem to be a superiour sex.

Most great thinkers, artists, architects, philosiphers (anything with the need of an advanced thought or skill) have been men (majority not all men).

Do you think men and women are equal, and if so should we treat women better, worse, or the same as men?

Women have breats and brains, while men have muscles and knowledge

Sometimes you get a good looking chick, who has some muscles in the right places, breasts, and a good head on her shoulders.

Sometimes you get a good looking guy, with a nice body, nice whatever, and knows alot of the right stuff.

Everyone has it, it just depends who chooses to use it.

I dont think its really a matter of equal or not... its just different..

and alot of the examples you cite lack many women of greatness cause the opportunities were simply not open to them at the time.

History is a recollection of an account.

If the account is from a male, in an era where there werent equal opportunities for both sexes, you wont be hearing s*** about any females will you?

Its all about evolution. Men have evolved to be good at certain rolls and so have women. Thats why the brains of males differ to that of females, generally speaking. So not one is better than the other, but women tend to be better multi-taskers and men are better at focusing on a single task. Did you know men can throw objects further than women because they instinctively lock their wrists when they throw, whereas women do not (again, generally)?

without going off on too much of an arts student rant, the reason most great thinkers/artists/scientists ect.. have been men is largely due to the patriarchal nature of our society. Only recently have women -really- had the freedom to persue intellectual/creative/academic avenues.

I agree that in the future there will be a much more even spread of human achievement across the 2 sexes.

...and breasts rule too

Femininity and Masculinity have different properties, obviously, and with that comes different skills but not always mutually exclusivity in these properties.
We don't treat the different sexes the same way, not that we should, sometimes it's frustrating though when chicks can get away with stuff guys can't, but that's life I guess.

Men and women aren't equal.
Both sexes have different traits, hormones and appendages.

it is PROVEN that a man is stronger than a woman, just as it's proven that men are better at Maths than women, that's not to say the all women are stupid at maths and all men are smart at it.
Women are better at language and arts, men are better at logics.

If there is anything I have observed is that girls get a lot of stuff easier than guys, not the other way around. So I don't know why people are always going on about female opression and glass ceilings and a male dominated social world, because in my world that just doesn't happen. In my reality, having breasts is power and influence, and having a penis is like being a dirty hobo off the street. In social settings, in the work force, even in a god damn chat room pretending to be a woman automatically makes you more popular and respected.

Yeah, but it's more the employment opps and the money. Men get (or used to get) more money than women for doing the same job.

And let's not talk about periods, birth control and sitting on a cold toilet at 3am in the middle of winter because your bladder is so small and it's so cold that you have to pee more frequently

There used to be more promotions given to men then women. The only reason why women are now getting promoted is because after the year 20XX (i forget the year) there must be X% of women in managerial positions.

Of course look at the kind of work that they normaly apply for (girls that is) when they start apply for it. Checkout chick, cashier, waiteress, customer service, all that jazz. Chicks sell more items to dumb guys who think that because the girl is talking to them, it obviously means that they want to root them.

sexism = excuse used because a woman feels she could have achieved more if she was a man, regardless of the fact that the brain matter, or strength, or willpower may be lacking

reverse sexism = what men speak about when they can't get laid.

now for something (maybe?) thoughtful.
both sexes have their natural abilities, its been studied many times blah blah blah, yes, society has been male driven a lot in the past, though with the opportunities coming through you'll find the people that want to achieve in the future will achieve and be noted in history, regardless of sex.

Not one of you mentioned equality in a relationship. T.T

The true measure of equality must begin with the respect shown in the family unit. Children are always watching, like all forms of racism and bigotry the stereotyped casting of women as "the weaker sex" is a learned behaviour.
The demeaning roles that women are often given in the entertainment/media and the unrealistic standards of perfection and beauty continue to rob women of their self esteem and self worth. These types of things stand in the way of true equality.

Women are the way they are today because men have created the world to suit themselves.
Man created religion in his own image and man was the centre of that religion.
Man created society in his own image and he remains the centre of that society.

Equality is still a long way off.

It's also proven that a male will look at the end result. "Go to pub. Pick up Chick" however women look at how to get there "Go to pub, make eye contact with a few blokes. Don't look so desperate...." then women will think of the consequence, whereas most men will not think of that until just before it occurs.

I'm your average female. There is no way i can do hard labour, run around in the army lugging around heavy equipment all day. I am simply not strong enough. I also couldn't fight fires or lift up injured people.

But if there are any females that can and *want* to do all those jobs that are typically male dominated. It should be FAIR to let anyone go though the testing and trails of getting there.

It shouldn't matter what sex you are. but it does. It's unrealistic to think that men and women can do all the same jobs.

Exactly Balli. Men are more suited for some roles and women for others. Men are *usually* stronger and more suited for hard labour jobs (eg. building, soldier) whereas women are *usually* more caring and compassionate (eg. nurse).

I am not saying that men and women are the only people that can do those jobs, as I am sure there are excellent male nurses and women soldiers, but that is just typically.

it is true that giving women equal rights has resulted in more fairness. but i do beleive it has resulted in society changing for the worse.

instead of having lots of single housewivish women to choose from, men now have to put up with the s*** laid down by b****** who think they dont need men, but rather need a university degree and a 60k job!

this has gotten in the way of traditional family values. paving the way for a generation of kids with personality disorders, lack of father figures, and no stable family to rely on.

As someone said before how do you define equal. i recon equal means that if a man and a woman go for the same job the employer should look past the sex of the employee and onto what matters the skills. but sadly it is not like that. this is just for employment, but it depends on the job that is being offered, what happens if a man wants to be a receptionist, hmmm. well the employer would porbably go no and not take another look at it.

but somepeople are right we are all equal, but because of the way society has been for the last couple of decades it doesn't seem that way. yes more men are arcitects and builders but that is because if a woman tried to be one they would be laughed out of the course. but now that some people (i say some people because there are still people out there that believe men are beter than women and vise versa) recon that we are equal the field even now has started to even out.

take it for instance where i work it is fairly even but when i talk to the staff the majority of girls are studying it and programing and i only know 3 out of 15 males that are doing it the rest i realy can't remmeber.

cycosis relations ships are not built on dominance and weekness relations ships happen because there are 2 people maybe more if you are lucky that may or mey not have something in common. they feel as if they have some thing to share with each other. if that is what you think relations ships are based on you really have no idea then.

well that is enough but we are all equal and if you don't think that then you are f*****g stupid.

In the words of Lush:

Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night
This guy says, "come and meet my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner looking rather uptight
So I say "hello" and I try to be nice
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other
"Girls, girls, please don't fight"
(you get the picture)
Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just try convincing me you're better than them
So he talks for hours 'bout his sensitive soul
And his favourite subject is sex
I don't think he even really wanted it
But, Christ, this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him)
I'm as human as the next girl, I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practised lines, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard it all before
(Here comes the next one)
Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight
Oh God, the boy had such an ego
He liked to talk about himself all day and all night
You think you're such a ladykiller
But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light
When he's nice to me he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years' bad luck
(I wanna tell him)
When you say you love me you're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practised lines, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard it all before
Ooh, you're such a ladykiller, always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller, super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a ladykiller, I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller, but we know where he's coming from and we know the score.


I don't think it contributes to the discussion, I've always liked that song is all.

(I'll go now, this seems like the guys-with-no-chicks thread)

It has come to thought recently that while we are vastly different in personalities men seem to be a superiour sex.


If any sex is the superiour I'd say the female, as genetically they are safer and have less chance of borked genes thanks to their double X (mutations in one X can be offset by the other X). While males with a borked Y chromo dont have any backup save whatever the X can do, this is why overall males tend to have more genetic problems then female. Also if the body defaults to a female form if it is missing a 2nd X or Y chromo.



Most great thinkers, artists, architects, philosiphers (anything with the need of an advanced thought or skill) have been men (majority not all men).

Ever thought that the unequal oppertunities presented to females made it much harder for them to accomplish such things?

Women are just as capable as men and vice versa, there would be certain roles that would give one sex a better advantage to then the other, however these are small and can be overcome with a bit of practice.

Also, back in the Hunter/Gather days it is being found that the woman gathered far more food then the men could hunt, so it was the women who provided the bulk meals with berries, nutts and fruits while the males provided large amounts of food that perashed within a couple of days...

bold = the part im right

yes something they can share with each other, something that the other person doesnt have. hence, in the most basic forms, superiority of for example intelligence, and inferiority of physical appearance. this, while not limited to, explains the freak phenomena of an ugly guy and a hot chick. they exist in the relationship because the chick is attracted to the guys abilities that she DOESNT have. ie. this may be intelligence, character, charisma etc. the guy is attracted to the girl because she is superior to him in the physical sense. thus what occurs is...

SHE feels SMARTER because he is smarter
HE feels sexier because she is sexier.

get it?

its just an example, really, dont make me type out an essay. it doesnt just apply to 'love' relationships, but also normal friendships. it isnt a clear rule of relationships, but it is a common factor.

Chicks sell more items to dumb guys who think that because the girl is talking to them, it obviously means that they want to root them.

Yea im with trog. Why dont you make a thread "does god exist" or "are gay people wrong" or some other contriversial topic that you know lots of people are going to have different views on. Completly stupid



Isnt the point of a public forum to dicuss ideas and thoughts?
A little more valid than "omg look at this pic of a dog taking a piss"

or look at my desktop....
