Women want the same rights as men, but they don't want to be treated the same?

Question

Women wanted to be treated equal and do anything a man did. So they get the rights and then they whine about not being treated like a woman? "Open the door for me, get me flowers, pay for dinner." Why is it that they just benefited from the whole thing. They wanted to be treated fair and have the same rights as a man, but they still expect us to do all the chivalry stuff. Why can't we split dinner down the middle?

But why do women needed to be treated specially? And i know it's gentleman like, so dont even try that answer.

Vaney i'm gonna take your comment (may it be critical or support i dont even really know) and i will use it for Raptors fan's comment
That statement is a little niave. Most women want equal rights and also equal treatment.

VanAy, sorry

Since all of you are using the excuse, because it's gentleman like and it's always been done that way. I'll repeat myself - But WHY do women needed to be treated specially?

Bravo Gemini, I would defintily open the door for you.

Everyone's bashing me, but i'm just wondering why it is. And why some women EXPECT it. I do open the door and pay for dinner. But i still wonder about that sometimes.

"America has yet to have a female President."

Women equal half of America's population, if not more. It's not like men are keeping the women out of office. Kudos to Hilary Clinton for having the courage to get up and take a stand. But the thing is, most women don't like Hilary. I've heard many say they would never vote for her. Now if there was a likely woman candidate with good answers to the issues, then i'm sure she'll have a chance. All i'm saying is the reason isn't because the man is holding her back (anymore). It's because the right women have not taken a stand.

Answer 1

there is no reason why you couldnt split dinner..in my eyes. Yes woman love chilvary-we allways will-but a strong independent woman wants a man to do it on his terms "not to be forced to buy flowers !!"
in my opinion, any woman who wants to be tooken care of 100% in todays environment-still feels the need to be dependent.
i personally, take great care of my husband-our relationship is based on love for eachother-teamwork-and careing.
If he did not bring me flowers, or couldnt pay for a night out THATS O.K. i'll do it-thats part of being in a understanding meaningful relationship.
i do not expect to live for "free"..
I do not care for the idea that people can be guilted into doing things that do not make them feel comfortable.
If you are with someone that "expects" you to support that person, and pay pay pay-then maybe that is not the right person for you-
crybabys will allways be crybabys-dependent.
you should go for the independent people, that know how to survive on their own.

Answer 2

I want the same rights, same responsibilities, same obligations and same treatment for both sexes. I don't expect special treatment and don't even like getting it. I understand that men are just trying to be nice with that gentlemen stuff and I know that some women love special treatment, but I feel like most of it puts down women, as if they need men's assistance with everything and aren't capable of doing things on their own.

I agree with you that it's a bit silly to expect being treated as both an equal as well as getting that chivalry special treatment. Women should make up their mind whether they want to be treated as equals or not and then go all the way. Personally, I choose the equal and no special treatment.

Answer 3

If my education is the same, and my experience is the same, why shouldn't I have the same opportunities as a man to excel in the exact same position while making the same amount of money?

As for the chivalry stuff, as you put it, it is called being a gentleman. While I don't expect a man to open my doors for me, send me flowers, or pay for my dinner, it is a nice and unexpected surprise when it does happen. I am raising my sons to be gentlemen and extend these courtesies to the women in their lives. The other side of that coin is, that if I am entering an establishment, I will hold a door open for someone else either entering or exiting the same establishment.

If you don't want to pay for a woman's meal, make it known when you are asking her out that it will be a dutch date, that way she will be prepared to pay for her own dinner, movie or whatever. However, that being said, you might find it difficult to get a second dutch date with the same woman as we do expect, at some point, if a relationship is going forward for the man pay for our way on occasion, just as we would like to pay for our man's way occasionally.

Best of luck to you, I feel sure that you will get a lot further with women when you quit whining about how unfair you think life is being to you and just accept your fate of being a man and start acting like a gentleman instead of a spoiled child.

I think women should have the same rights, including having to register for the Draft and getting drafted should such a thing be required.

I got taken out of my home and job in 1969 to go into a war where 1 out of 10 came back dead or deformed and when I came back girls who didn't have to face the draft, who were younger than I, were now my bosses and rathery snooty, at that!

I think a good year in a rice pattie with an M-16 would make them a lot less snooty!

Women want it, they should be willing to give up their lives for it! Put up or shut up!

And by the way the Equal Rights amendment went down to a major defeat, so white women have less rights than black women and both have less rights than black men.

Women are legally second class citizens in the US! They are protected, like the Bald Eagle or the Buffalo, from harm. They are by nature of law and edict a porceline doll that sits safely on the shelf, while the he-men go out and protect them!

Now, I'm not saying girls aren't dying in Iraq, but we are also not drafting and girls do not have to register in fact IT IS ILLEGAL for them to register!

Girls CAN'T DEMAND to be in the draft.

The courts and Congress spoke on that issue, as many girls TRIED to register forcebly and publicly and they were DENIED the opportunity to throw their hats into the ring! They can voullenteer, but they can't be conscripted!

Draft, is a boy's club. A MALE only RESPONSIBLITY.

To this day I don't give my seats up for girls (old people, certainly) because I got drafted and shafted, so I earned the right to have that seat!

I did my duty and girls have no duty under the law. And that's the way it is!

Answer 5

Treatment and rights are not the same thing. How you treat a lady has nothing to do with her rights to be equal to men. How you treat a lady speaks volumes of a man's character. You pay for dinner because its expected of you unless of course if it was her who asked you out first. You open the door for her because you'd look like a spineless nerd if she opened the door for you or moved a chair to let you sit and even sillier if you received flowers at your office in front of other women. Rights would often refer to gender bending issues in the work place, job opportunities, property ownership, single parenting, travel and all the other things that are not commonly given rights to women. And whats so bad about being chivalrous? Men are supposed to be that not women.

Answer 6

yes, i agree with this! this is not fair at all. the things where guys are supposed to get much benefts, women shout for 50-50 equality, but the facts where women supposed to get benefits they don't care about the equality. THIS IS REALLY BAD AND WRONG! In reality, men and women are NOT same, so there are some situations where men will do the sacrifice and there are some situation where women have to do sacrifice, we need to understand that carefully.

Answer 7

It's called being a gentleman. I agree that women want it both ways sometimes....like they want to join the military but then don't want o go to war because they have children at home or whatever. I think each woman is different, though. Some don't like chivalry, others do. Does it hurt to offer to open the door, though? I think to pay for dinner is a way of showing a woman that she's worth it. Am I not worth a $6 hamburger??

Answer 8

Say dude I feel your pain women are fickle and very wishey washey. They really don't know what they want they say one thing and mean another just to keep you on your toes.
They want to be treated as your equal because some of them are.
What you need to do and you want ever get in trouble is treat everyone you meet women, men of all race colors and greed's with the same respect that you think you deserve. When you do this I think you will be fine

Answer 9

very last kept stats: seventy 4% women, fifty 2% little ones, 20% men i don't know the position everybody "discovered" about this, notwithstanding it replaced right into a actuality women and little ones were enable off the deliver first. there have been numerous memories about men dressing up as women so that they could get off who were later got here across to be men. the kind separation replaced into real, yet not completely. 0.33-type men genuinely survived at a higher fee than second-type men. women and little ones made up a higher percentage of the first-type passengers than they did in decrease classes. 0.33-type women survived at a higher fee than first-type men. So there replaced right into a form divide, yet do not youngster yourselves, there replaced into also a gender divide, and it replaced into higher than the kind divide. As for no matter if women ought to wish an same equality as men, I doubt too many people ought to extremely go with to go down given the alternative, guy or lady. i'll't say i extremely blame women for taking this favor, as long as they don't say men ought to go down because of their gender. Then we've a difficulty. i'd like to assert i'd go down and shop a niche for someone else, yet i'm not extremely particular i ought to assert that. little ones ought to truthfully be kept, and a minimum of one in all their moms and dads. Pregnant women ought to go too. The crew ought to go down with the deliver till everybody else, male or lady, can get off too. with the help of how, I heard an exciting word about feminism. "Feminism disappears even as the lifeboats are decreased."

Answer 10

Women's rights deal mostly with the work place situation. Women were/are payed less for the same jobs. Plus we are now expected to work, take care of children and our mans desires( aka supermom). So that is why we ask to be treated fairly. Like having ample time off to have a baby and be considered for positions of power without our gender being a hindrance and things of that sort. America has yet to have a female President. However, men are taking more responsibility in raising their children, which is a plus (aka superdad).

But if you don't have the money to wine and dine a female you are not going to get a quality lady (aka hot chick, future milf) to be with. Women spend a lot of money on education, staying fit, being stylish, and buying our loves "just because gifts" and we are not going to waste all that time and money on a cheap bastard.

You get what you pay for.
