Why do so many people think that there is a superior gender?

Question

In my opinion we are all equal.

steph, you just proved my point. its obvious that you think women are superior

Answer 1

I agree with your opinion wholeheartedly... we are equal. But for some reason, feminism has been spreading propaganda about their sexes superiority (focused on women's benefits and marginalized men's benefits while focusing on men's negative attributes while marginalizing women's negative attributes).

I'd like to get to a system where men aren't looked down on for being a SAHD, or women bashed by some for choosing to be a SAHM either... and where a woman will be held equally accountable for her crimes as a man would, instead of being given a light sentence on the condition she blames a man.

ETA: xbulletx...
"most of us know woman were not allowed to vote, were under paid for the same jobs as men,"

Actually, most of us know only HALF the story. There was only TEN years between men being allowed to vote, and women. Yet feminists still persist in telling this half truth. Additionally, the wage gap is made by women themselves as they CHOOSE to take more time off and DECLINE to do the overtime in a job, etc. etc. Feminists blame 'the patriarchy' by pretending women are paid $4.10 per hour while men are paid $5.00 per hour for the exact same job, hours and so forth - which is NOT true (and has been proven repeatedly to be a lie).

Answer 2

Because people are ignorant and they feel inferior so they want to big themselves up by pushing others down. It's teh same how many races want to feel they are superior.

Answer 3

I am inclined to claim that whatever I am part of is superior to the alternative, even if I don't personally think it is.

Answer 4

I believe it's because they get that message from the time they are very young from their friends and one or both of their parents, and from television, and from their extended family, and from the music they listen to, and billboards...sexism is like a grass fire. Just when you think you've put the thing out, it pops up fifty feet away and grows into a conflagration before you get the chance to stop it.

Best thing we can do is keep chipping away at it in our own lives. We all can and should start with ourselves.

Answer 5

I believe that neither gender is superior, but neither are the genders totally equal in every respect. The neglected truth is that there are differences between men and women and depending on how you choose to measure these differences you can marshal the fallacious argument that one gender is superior. So those who wish to promote their agenda will haul out statistics on how one gender performs better on some test, like the SATs or tests of emotional intelligence, and draw the ludicrous conclusion that this somehow denotes superiority. Or, just as ridiculous are claims that men and women are "equal" in all respects. Why either position is thought to have merit is beyond me. Is it not obvious that there is tremendous overlap between the genders in terms of whatever you want to measure? Is it not okay that men are generally better at some things and women are generally better at others? And why are these differences not considered a good thing?

As to why people want to promote the superior agenda - beats me. I can only guess that it is fuelled by anger or a lack of self-confidence.

Answer 6

I don't, but my vote doesn't seem to count. If you are here, and you are a woman, you are automatically a man-hating feminazi. Backlash. It's all coming true.
Raj. Would you just DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

It's a convenient excuse to deny opportunity based on sex, proliferate gender roles that favor one sex over the other, to treat one sex with less or more repsect, and to gain control over the other for their own selfish needs.

But for those that believe that theirs is the superior sex, no amount of reasoning is going to change their mind.

Answer 8

Men were considered superior for a very long time. Even though those men are long gone, this is our history.
Today's men have to learn a different attitude than their great grandfathers had. I think that women want to have the chance to try everything that men could do. We'll find some things we can do as well and some things we aren't suited for. The best at any particular work could be a woman just as easily as it could be a man.
C. :)!!

Answer 9

Those people are ignorant and sexist! I think were equal too.
Its quite arrogant that one gender thinks there better then the other.

Answer 10

I find it ridiculous that people wuss out and go for the politically correct answer. no two people will be equal because no two people are the same. so why would you think that every single person in the world is equal. face reality one gender has to (for the majority) be better at more stuff than the other gender. quit living in a fairy tale and quit lieing to yourself by saying you believe everyone is "equal'
