I try and follow the "golden rule" which basically states that you should treat others the way YOU want to be treated. If a female calles me a pig, or a dog, or "one who needs training buy a woman" or an extra child. Or my favorite " You are JUST a man,"
To me this is insulting, untrue, rude, worthy of VENOMUS retort. But, comments like this are regarded as humor at worst and truth at best. But let's flip it around, point for point.
If I, a man, in public said to a woman, You sow, Bit@h, "One who needs to be trained by a real man, little girl, or "You are JUST a woman." Not 3 seconds would pass until a posse staked me to an anthill for DARING to speak to someone like that.
Equality by it's most basic defintion, means EVEN, no more on one side than exists on another.
Now, are things truly equal between the sexes, races, or whathaveyou? Disgracefully they are not. But I don't believe acting equally as disgraceful, makes anything better for anyone.What do you think
