All people should be equal?? Then who will wash my car? Who will cook my food? People are NOT equal, have never been equal, and will never be equal. Men and women are not equal and thank God for the difference.

The only thing women aren't equal to men in is the military.

This is an interesting topic that a lot of people tend to over simplify. I do not think that men and women are equal. We are different. Too different to be called equal. It's just not a valid comparison. Apples and oranges, people. What I believe many intend to say is we should be TREATED by the government and by society equally; equal political power, equal priveleges, etc. I totally agree with that. But men and woman are extremely different and both have talents that are practical in different situations. Of course, there will always be exceptions but look at the ratio of male engineers to female engineers and the ratio of male kidnergarten teachers to female kindergarten teachers. Are the gaps in those stats just coincedences? No, they're examples of what the AVERAGE man's and woman's strengths are.

Huhu, women's rights. The emperor Pounounouf is already laughing with the title. The Emperor does not like laughing. We do believe that people are equal BUT there are people who are more equal than others. If you are black, homosexuel, jew, it is clear that you must not exepct to be treated as fairly as a normal human. So this is the same for women. The Mother Nature has made the woman weak, then it is the duty of women to be the men's slaves ( even if I think a woman = two negers ).

That's what they mean by using equal. Otherwise they would use the same or some other word. We are all equals. We should all be treated as equals and thus equally. It's quite logical if you think about it.

The differences you point out can be easely attributed to sociological parameters and don't really say anything about the difference between women and men. Of course there are differences, but in the end we are not so different. Think about it. Men and women only differ on one chromosome; women = XX and men = XY. The Y being a mutated X-chromosome. All the others are the same in men and women.

Get over it. Women are just as apt as us men. What's the big deal?

I dont buy all that pressure from society crap. Sure, it is a factor, but not as big a one as many make it out to be. I dont think the women that I have just recently graduated with feel any pressure from society to NOT study engineering. Many chose literature, education, music, etc. There is no possible way that you can deny that a woman's brain works very differently than a man's. Very different. Women have different natural talents. One difference, for example: women are very good at multi-tasking, while men often focus strongly on one thing. That's a reason that women make extremely efficient secretaries, while men are often better problem solvers. Most of the time, men and women can accomplish tasks that do not use their natural talents, but it takes a lot of hard work and determination.

People are not equal, but the best thing to do is treat people equally. I think men and women are too different to be called equal. They both have different, but EQUALLY IMPORTANT, roles in society and the most effective society will use everyone's natural talents to the fullest extent and encourage their use and development. Now, should a woman who would make a GREAT teacher want to be a rocket scientist, she is absolutely free to do so. Dont get me wrong, people should always have the freedom to pursue whatever life they want, but most often, they will pursue and enjoy something they are gifted at.

So you think a woman is worth to negroes? How so?

The page number is now 22, not 30. Sorry for any inconvience that this may have brought about. Women are equal to men, gentlemen, face it.
