Following a conversation/row I had with a woman on the other bus, I was wondering which of the following you would rather have:
a) Me to give you my seat on the bus
b) The right to vote
Basically, what I'm asking is do you want equality or not?

What does a have to do with b? If you are going to ask about equality you could find a more reasonable comparison than the smidgen you came up with. Being a gentleman has nothing to do with a woman's equality. Manners are one thing, the right to vote another.

I don't see what the two have in common, to tell the truth. Mentally, women are equal to men. They can judge for themselves. After all, there are many women who are more intelligent and discerning than some men. Physically, many women are strong and can stand. However, if there's a pregnant woman, do the decent thing and stand. Men have stronger bodies. I always stand for older people, male or female and anyone who needs a seat more than I do.
But I have been pregnant and very ill, exhausted and weak in a crowded train. And men just looked at me and sat.
Perhaps we should be able to ask someone if we could sit with an explanation.

Well, women already have the right to vote. And as for giving up your seat on the bus to a woman, an elderly person, a handicap person, or a pregnant lady that's just a matter of respect. Think of it this way. If a man were ont he bus with your mother, Would you want him to give up his seat so your mother didn't have to stand? Or if he were on the same bus with your pregnant wife, again, Would you want him to give up his seat to your pregnant wife. Having the right to vote and having the human decency and respect for another are two different matters entirely.

Yes I want equality, but there are some things that men are just better at than women...just as there are some things women are better at than men. Everyone should have the right to vote if that's the only thing you're really talking about.....you should still offer your seat though, it's only polite ;)

I have the right to vote and would only expect you to give up your seat if i was elderly or with a small child, but i would give up my seat to a man in the same situation. That equality

I was already given the right to vote, and the right to be president if I so choose. And if you got up and gave me your seat, I'd kindly refuse, I'm not above standing on the bus.

How about a combination of the two
A seat on the board of any major corporation to vote on where the company will go?

I agree. Seats should be reserved only for the disabled and the infirm. You cannot ask for special privileges and equality at the same time.

I would rather have the right to vote. I am capable of standing on a bus just a well as you are.
