No, women have a long way to go to equal men physically. It's great to say a woman should be allowed to be a construction worker but when there's an entire new set of rules just for her that are different from her male counterparts, is that fair? Also. as far as dating, what woman would go out with a guy that wants everything done equally. She wants to be treated as a lady, not equal to a man. Women want to be equal, and some are, but they don't want to give up all the nice things that being unequal gave them

Women cannot be priests and certainly not the pope. They have never gotten the chance to become president, though they are allowed to (women are "too emotional" and "wouldn't make wise decisions"). In many jobs they don't get as much pay as men. And there are always steryotypes against them.
These days, there are actually more women in college than men. So officials are trying to even this out, so it will be harder for women to get into college than men.
Uh...men can't wear dresses or skirts and be thought of as normal, but women can wear mens clothes. And men can't cry in public without being thought of as weak. But there's not much I can figure that make men less fortunate than women.

Men and women are equal in value and rights and should be treated as such. BUT there are some things that men are physically better at, and some that women are better at. Both sexes have different centers of gravity for example.

All human beings are equal, and all are different.
Injustices only occur when people are lumped into groups rather than being treated as individuals.
Even where there are still differences in the treatment of men and women (or any other groups), they don't necessarily apply to ALL men or ALL women.

They are equal as human beings, but they are different. Most people get these two things confused. It is not that one is better than the other, but they are created differently for different roles. For example, men obviously aren't made to bear children.

Yes - besides the obvious plumbing and hormonal differences, and the radically different socialization that males and females get as children.

In most things yes, thankfully there are some vital differences... Vive la différence!

except for physical strength and muscle mass I'd say yes they are equal.

No. Why would women want to lower themselves to be like men?
