I believe in equal rights ladies, but c'mon if my car gets a flat tire on my way to work, it would be great for a man to offer to change it. I'm a lil tired of the I am woman hear me roar because personally I have better, and frankly more important things to roar about than calling something as trivial as this "sexist". Am I the only one who feels a woman and a man should have ther own place?

Men and women are created equal but different. Pope John Paul II said in his encyclical "The Theology of the Body" that if man is the head of the family then the woman is the heart. Just as the head is completely necessary for the body to survive, the heart is equally necessary. I think that is probably the most beautiful and accurate analogy I have ever heard. Women should not be slaves to men, nor should they be goddesses, nor must they be objects to satisfy lust and usury, nor must they be men. They are created to be peacemakers, wisdom seekers, mothers (if they are called to be married), understanding, and strong. Not physically strong, but morally and mentally. They should have an equal say in the fate of their own nation (i.e. voting and politics), but not necessarily in every other aspect. I mean, a woman obviously is not meant to be as physically strong as a man, human anatomy makes that clear. I hope that answers you question.

Well, at the beginning of this century women still weren't allowed to vote, and if they worked outside of the home they were made to feel as though they were neglecting their children (by everyone, I don't mean only men were making them feel that way) Also, it was unheard of for a woman to wear pants in public, or to show their legs, or to go out without having someone with them or they would be looked at as a woman of ill repute. Even during the fifties, sixties and seventies some of these things were still social morays that were hard to move past (such as working Moms and Single Moms). And at the end of the century women can do all of these things and more. In marriage men and women have more of a give and take role with each other instead of the entire financial responsibility being on the man and the entire emotional responsibility being on the woman, in work women still don't make as much money for doing the same job as men, but it's getting better, and in education women can pursue any type of education they wish whereas before they would have been pigeon-holed into certain areas that were acceptable (secretary, teacher, etc) One of the great things about everything being more open to all people is that the level of creativity has been pushed, there are more well-known writers, artists, etc who have contributed to the arts which at one time was considered taboo for a woman of proper upbringing to be an active part of. Did I answer the question? Sorry, I babble sometimes.

Both have totally different roles in life and if people would just accept that we would all be happier..And obviously women don't change tires and men don't shop

I say be who you are- you don't need to live up to anyone elses standards. Be happy with what you're capable of and be willing to accept help when you need it.
