Bring it on, brother, but can you think of something more challenging than a game of tennis or boxing? Get real! You haven't accomplished using the spell-check, and you want to fight a girl? Get a brain first.

I don't consider myself a delusional feminist, lol, but I do believe all women are feminists in their own rights.
I think many people get lost in the confusion of this subject. In my own personal opinion, men and women are NOT equal; we have different natures, different experiences, so many things that separate us from being totally equal. However I do believe (and I think this is where the majority of the "delusional feminists" place their struggles) that men and women deserve to be TREATED equally. Even with as much progress we've made over the past hundred years, we're still so very far from the ideal goal we're reaching for. We DO deserve equal pay when we work equally as hard, and we DO deserve a few months off after childbirth (when men can give birth they will deserve it too).
It's the balance that needs to be found regarding equal and fair treatment, rather than leaning towards the extremes of one side or the other.

No it is clearly you who is misunderstanding. Feminists never argued that women had the body characteristics that men have, or that it was needed to be equal. We are free to have differences to men and not be measured by them and that IS feminsim.
You on the other hand still seem to think feminists are arguing women are equal in strength. That has clearly never been any such part of feminism and so you are clearly wrong, my friend.
If I switch you argument then and apply it to something men are not physically able to do and women are, and we take the example of childbearing, then you would have to admit that by your own argument, women are superior to men because they would win hands down in a competition to see who could conceive first.
Also, since equal rights were invented to protect the weaker, then would it not be wrong for a man to hit a woman??

They don't box against each other 'cause most men couldn't hit a girl a all. Also they do play tennis against each other, mixed doubles? Not a feminist but go Title IX.

That is a dumb question. I think you should read Genesis (thats the first book in the Bible) and it should explain the difference between a man and woman. More importantly, feminists are not advocating for women to play football with the guys.......get a clue dude.

Feminists want women to be treated equally according to the law and in social situations. That has nothing to do with physical competitions.
It's really not about equal rights. It's mostly about a predominantly heterosexual society. It's inappropriate for men and women to be doing things like that, if you assume that everyone is heterosexual, and our society often does.

Feminists don't believe that women and men have the same physical builds.
This site has an amazing rate of people who hate femininists and/or twist what it is they believe. If certain people had better reasoning ability this kind of twisting of femininst principles wouldn't occur.

Males and Females should have the same rights as each others sex. No more and no less than that. The male is built stronger in some physical attributes .. but that doesn't lessen a woman's rights. Good Luck ! :)

Being able to conquer someone physically does not mean that the conquerer is a superior being; even dogs (hint hint) and other animals with lower intelligence than humans use their physical strength to fight and such.
