Do you believe that men and women are equal??

Question

Do you think that men and women are equal? Do you think that a man should rule over his wife? Is it fair that some people don't believe that women can do what men do?

Answer 1

HA yes i'm a female
men should NOT have advantage over women

Answer 2

Men and women should have the same access to all political and social levels created in our society. I assume you're associating the "rule over his wife" thing with some type of spiritual connotation, so I'll speak on that. Marriage is the union of two opposites to become one. The woman is not meant to be ruled over, but to be cherished and protected. Men are directed to love their wives. She has a brain just like him and "ruling over" her is tantamount to new age slavery. She is an equal, but not equal in the sense of responsibility or physicality. The man is responsible for the growth of his family. He is accountable for all decisions made affecting his family. Remember, God asked Adam what he had done after he ate the apple, not Eve. She is to be loved and respected. She is his pillar when no other support can be found. She is a comforter when no joy can be found. The wife is his opposite yet equal companion. When one is down, the other is there to lift them up. Yes, equal but opposite.

Life was never meant to be fair. As far as policies go, we can fight to try to make things as fair as possible. To worry about someone's beliefs about gender is not worth it. Those that have a mental problem with women's abilities should be pitied, not scorned. Scorn won't make them change their minds. Action just might.

Answer 3

I think men and women are equal, I know they are before God. We just have different gifts, different things that we do. No a man should not rule over his wife, they are in the marriage together.
I do think that women should be treated different than a man, because we aren't a man. We aren't less than a man, we just aren't a man. Women are so talented, we can do so many things, and anyone who doesn't realize this is just ignorant. (This means not knowing)
Myself, I like doors opened for me, my bag carried, and I like being helped with heavy things. My husband does all of this for me, even tho I am physically fit and am a trainer. I love being a woman and I like being treated like one too. It's hard to find men who will do this any more tho, sadly. Many have an attitude about women, much of it I suspect comes from the tv and magazines, which is stupid. Most women aren't anything like any of them on tv or in the magazines are they?

Answer 4

Yes, men and women are equal, but at the same time they may excel in unique areas.

For instance, biologically women tend to not develop muscle as much as men.

Every marriage is different. Some couples may like letting the man be the ruler and he takes care of, shelters, protects and provides for his nice wife.

Nowadays there are mixed opinions about this.

Answer 5

Equal? Yes, equally talented, equally skilled. But different. Men and women tend to see things differently and have somewhat different interests, on the whole.

The bit about a man ruling over his wife is just leftovers from wrong religion. It shouldn't be that way at all.

Answer 6

Kind of a strange way of putting it, don't you think? Are apples and oranges equal? Are Cats and Dogs equal?

Men and women are DIFFERENT. We are different, not only physically but emotionally, spiritually and in our capabilities. Women will never be as stong as men under 'normal' circumstances. Men will never be able to carry a baby.

Instead of looking for equality, women really need to be looking for their true PLACE. It is not a place of equality, it is a place of respect. Should women and men who are equally capable of doing the same job have and equal shot at it? Of course!

Should a mand 'rule' over his wife? If you are looking for a biblical answer, perhaps you need to read all of that in context. St. Paul states quite clearly what is expected of the men---and it is no easy task; to DIE for the wife. If you are looking for a secular answer, I am sure you will get exactly what you are looking to provoke.....

Answer 7

Well, most of the female portion of the population on this planet, already know, that women are the Superior Intelligence. Having said that, then I think we should move on to focus on the different strengths that each of the sexes have, not so much equality, but balance. Men do have strengths and qualities, that we females need to learn to rely on. And men need to recognize those attributes that women possess. Men need to learn to trust in and rely on as well. We are whole in and of ourselves, but are more complete in fulfilling the measure of our creation when we put our strengths together and work as equal parteners for the good of each other and all mankind.

Answer 8

No we are NOT EQUAL. We are physically different and mentally different. There is a LOT of things men can do, that women cannot do. And there is a LOT of things women can do, that men cannot do. But together, as a couple, each COMPLEMENT each other's strength's and weaknesses. If we were equal, life would be boring.

Men and Women work best when they are together. Not apart.

Answer 9

I believe women go through a lot more then men do. Based on we have t*ts, have babies, have periods, get harrased, take a million hours to get ready, go through absolute pain and hell to look good, if your over wieght then you are disgusting, having a million different clothes that have to be in style, we're not allowed to age, having to deal with sexual harrasment, getting looked upon as not being as good as a man by other men, and being stereo typed as "whores" if we sleep with more then one guy.

I don't believe in being pushed around and i have a very abrasive personality. I very tough and don't put up with sh*t from anyone..including men and women. I do know women that think it is that way or men "save" them or they're "smarter" then them. It might all depend on how you were raised.

I feel I don't need a man to feel worthy or beautiful. I also feel i don't need a man in order to "save" me or make me "feel" better. I'm independent and i think everyone should be like that. Regardless. Everyone has feelings and emotions. So i put men and women as equal. Screw anyone who doesn't think so.

Answer 10

Yes, men and women were created equally. Do they get treated equally? sometimes.... Often times men get paid more working the same job that a women does, that isnt too equal.... Its all opinion, and for the sexist males, well they must be insane....
