Do you think certain jobs should go to a certain sex, or are we all really equal?

Yes, now get back in the kitchen, woman.
Just kidding.....it was just too good to turn down without a smart alecky answer.
Now I will go back to my wife, confess this to her and she will spank me....sigh.

Fascinating question. Yes, I believe I am sexist.
I don't think that people shouldn't be able to perform certain jobs, but I
think that in the long run, the genders will chose without pressure.
I believe that women, generally, will stay away from jobs with a lot
of physical danger. However, I think ultimately, they will probably end
up leading large companies and countries as well as more traditional
jobs. They will continue to perform very repetitive tasks though as
time goes on, most of those will disappear in favor of automation.
Men will continue to push the boundaries of what is physically possible,
exploring and taking on higher danger jobs. That is, they will continue
to do what they have evolutionarily done - die to protect the species.
There is a reason for the cliche "Women and Children first". Semen
is relatively easy to come by - gestation chambers and ova are not.
That is not meant to belittle the contributions of the semen carriers, but
it will always shape the species priorities while we are bogged down
with the physiological constraints.

I think men and women are NOT equal. Women were created to raise the children and keep the man happy. I believe that men were created to be the "bread winners" and protectors. I am a stay at home mom and I raise our two daughters while my husband works. My body is not strong enough or durable enough to withstand the kind of jobs a man can. But this is my own opinion. If women stopped acting so feminist saying things like we are equal our children wouldn't be such screw ups because the women would be back in the home raising the kids the RIGHT way. Women would have time to take care and nurture their families (including the husband) the way they need to be. This is a very opinionated issue and a lot of women and men don't believe they way my family does, but my husband and I have a very loving marriage that is strong. He treats me great and he respects and loves our children. Women and Men are NOT created equal. Sorry Ladies, time to face facts. ^.~

Sure we are all human but "equal" is a very broad term. It should come down to common sense. Any job can be done satisfactorily by a male or female so long as they are adequately trained. To excel at certain very physical jobs, it may require a male or even a female specifically. But in the corporate or political wold, which I presume you are alluding to, there is no discernable difference between male or female potential for success. It's all about the motivation of the specific individual.

In one sense, no, we are not all equal. In general, men are physically stronger than women. This isn't sexist, it's an observation, and accepting a biological fact. That isn't to say that no woman can do a physically-demanding job, or that there aren't women that are stronger than the average man. As far as jobs, if you're able to do a job adequately, you should be given a fair shot at it, regardless of your gender.

Yes I am. I was going to say no but as I thought about I am.
There are many jobs I don't think women should do. Not that I don't think a woman CAN'T do that job just I don't think she should. Why put your body thur it. Like road work. You see some lady out there holding a sign in the heat. I mean when you are bleeding and you are working like that. Nope that's not good. Women are the weaker sex. I work but if I have kids I'm coming to the house.

We are all equal in our own unique ways...women are better at certain things and men are better at others...that doesn't mean we can't all do the same things, but I think certain things are better for certain sexes.

I think that certain things should be kept to one sex, but other than that, I'm not sexist.

No, I don't think I'm sexist at all. I think all jobs are equal opportunity.

Well, some jobs women are better at. Never heard of a male nun or a female Brother.
