Do you believe in sex equality?

Answer 1

Yes. While men may be stronger than women, we are no longer living in a society where strength trumps intelligence as far as getting a good job. The person who said women are naturally more forgiving and tender is right, but in the same way a person would be right if they said Irish people have red hair. SOME do, but not all. It's a generalization.

I've met more driven, push-you-down-so-I-can-get-ahead, girls, then those who just want to spend all day cuddling a baby. Men have emotions too, they've just been socialized not to show them. Women have an advantage, because we can get them out in the open (if we choose to) and then forget about them, rather then bottle them up.

We're in a world now where intelligence matters the most if you want a high paying job, and that's why women are doing so well. You don't need to be a construction worker to make a living wage. You can go to college, get a Masters, and never even have to worry about getting married in order to survive. I personally wouldn't want to live my life alone, but it's good to know that I'll be able to support myself if I can't find a decent guy.

Answer 2

No...I like being a female and what comes along with it. We are different in many ways so we are not equal, that doesn't mean one is better or less than, just different, and that's OK. Relationships went haywire when men got in touch with their feminine side and feelings.....We were made the emotional ones for a reason and men were made to be a little stronger in that area, I'm tired of "high maintenance" men that need and want the same things I do as a woman,I like strong old fashioned men who lead, and appreciates what qualities a woman has to offer him that are totally different than what he has and can offer her, it has nothing to do with intellegence, the word "equality" has blinded us to recongnize and see what special differences the other has to offer that we may not. I dont want the position a man has in this world, Equality should mean; same in value and rights only, not replace uniqueness of differences.

Answer 3

In certain settings, yes. Obviously men cannot grow human beings inside their bodies (unless they're seahorses). Not all women have the upper body strength that lots of males possess. However, gender equality should be recognized in employment positions, government, and in relationships. Not all men are strong and not all women are weak and over emotional.

For the comments about homosexuals: The gay parades are part of a human rights movement, to obtain simple equal rights that YOU already have. Some people have to fight to get rights because there's a lot of ignorant bigots in the world. It's not all about letting everyone know who you sleep with - it's about recognizing an existing way of life regardless of your approval.

Answer 4

This is a "motherhood and apple pie question".

Sure, I believe in the equality of the sexes.

In some ways, however, women are far more equal (privileged) than men in North American society.

Here are just four examples:

Women who go into the "male world" of business are looked upon as being "achievers", while men who go into the "female world" of care-giving are considered as being "losers".

Women are allowed to freely express their emotions. A man who would express similar feelings would be looked upon negatively by others of both sexes.

Women are assumed to be naturally better care-givers than men and they are usually awarded custody of children in divorce proceedings. Our judicial system is biased in favor of women.

Women can openly show as much physical affection towards small children as they desire. If a man does the same thing, he runs the risk of being labeled a pedophile.

Answer 5

Yes.

I believe there are distinct differences in the sexes though. Males and females are created differently. They think differently and have different needs and their differences should be recognized and understood. People make a mistake when they try to make the sexes the same, and then no one is happy. But even though they are different, they are still equal.

Answer 6

I believe that men and women should be treated equally; if they can do a job equally. In matters of intelligence men and women are equal but i do not think that women should be allowed to join the NFL or men should run for Miss America.
I do not believe in homosexual or heterosexual equality because I believe that no one should know what you do in your bedroom and I think it is stupid to have parades about who you sleep with at night. When a person wears their sexuality as a banner (gay or straight) they do not value all other good qualities that God gave them like their talents, intelligence, values, etc...

Answer 7

Yes, definitely yes. Equality is right, proper, and I find it attractive in a lady who thinks so. I don't like to date girly girls who adhere to the traditions of dating and relationships, I like free-thinkers who know that we are both human beings in a sea of seekers, and companionship as equals is the best kind of relationship.

Answer 8

There is NO SUCH THING. We should be, and are, equal, but different. Pay should be the same...a job done for a good wage. But that is where it ends. Women and men are just too different to lump into one statement. Good luck

Answer 9

Yes. If you are having sex, both of you should get off, equally. ;)

Answer 10

No. I think that is what is screwing up the US. Look, no offense, but women have this thing called "compassion", "Sympathy" and "motherly instincts" crap. I mean, unless they are on the rag, they tend to be soft and forgiving. Physically, sure women can do anything a man can, but from a mental aspect. No. They just don't have it in them to be tough all the time.
