All humans have equal WORTH (value), regardless of race, gender, or nationality.
Yet, no two humans are equivalent. (Not even identical twins).

Not completely sure, but from what I can tell men are more inclined to seek out a sexual partner than women. Look at animals and you'll see a relatively similar phenomenon. We are animals, so it makes sense that men are at least seek sex more than women. Women do too, but it seems to be more concentrated and resistant than male sexuality. Males seem to be aroused more easily too, but that's just conjecture on my part.
EDIT: I apparently read the question as "Your opinion regarding male and female's sexuality." Whoops. Completely wrong answer.
Er... I don't like the concept of equality to begin with. Wendy can use the "social equality" argument, too, but that doesn't really change anyone's convictions. Some people simply do more than others and are therefore more valuable. EXAMPLE- Do you value a janitor or Steve Jobs more? Which would YOU say is a more valuable person? How about a rapist or a loving father? Social equality is a bunch of garbage for that reason. Furthermore, if you want to talk about "social equality," then women are more valued; chivalrous attitudes. For those of you like Baba Yaga that don't understand chivalry, this is from Wikipedia:
Chivalry in relation to women: this is probably the most familiar aspect of chivalry. This would contain what is often called courtly love, the idea that the knight is to serve a lady, and after her all other ladies. Most especially in this category is a general gentleness and graciousness to all women.
If you have this kind of idea ingrained into culture and women are still "empowered," "liberated," and "entitled," a quick picture is painted of the comparative worth of a man and a woman. That's where we get "women and children first" from.
Note that I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with being courteous to a lady that deserves it as a result of their actions and words. NONE. I just have a problem with women who ***** about men, oppression, and their "entitlement" without doing anything constructive for society.

I don't understand why some people don't know what "equal" means, in this context. When someone says, "All humans are equal" they mean equal in the social context, not mathematically equal, as in A=B. This is the definition that applies when discussing human equality, i.e., social equality:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_(law)
This is the definition that applies; that all people are worthy of equal opportunity (not equal outcome) and equal consideration. If one were to use the mathematical definition of the word, (A=B), then NO ONE is equal, it is mathematically impossible, since we are ALL different.
EDIT
Robinson, you are wrong, and if you don't understand this yet, I can only hope that it's because you are young, and just don't "get it" yet. By "your" definition (entirely yours, apparently) NO ONE is equal...therefore, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (humans) are created equal"...is total bunk. Haven't they gone over this in your civics class yet? Again, just because someone "does more," it does not make them superior, socially. That is the quantitative "mathematical" definition of equality, and, in my opinion, a Nazi view of "equality." (Calm down, I'm not calling you a Nazi--just trying to get you to see the distinction.) No two people ever "contribute" equally...so how CAN there be such a thing as "equality" at all? It is not quantifiable on a human level. We are equal because we ALL deserve an equal opportunity (again, not an equal outcome-that is determined by the individual.) And we are ALL deserving of equal consideration. A mentally challenged person, who may not "contribute" very much, by your standards, is still worthy of equal rights and consideration under the law, and in a social context, as well, meaning that they have the right not to be "overlooked" as individuals, and they have the right to be given the same "considerations" as every other human being.
And please, spare me your "ideals" of chivalry. Read your history. Chivalry NEVER existed, not in any real social context, not even in the 11th century. It was, at best, a social ideal. It was never reality.

Should they have the same rights? Yes.
Does one have the right to dominate the other? No.
Can they be equal? Not really. There's a difference in strength and hormones, and argue as you might, the fact remains that there will always be jobs that are better suited to a specific sex, be it for physical strength or simply nature.

we are all equal...the only reason why women feel inequality among us is because they they feel like they are always abused and weaker than men.
