Should "equal rights" always equal "identical rights" ?

I am not a radical feminist. I may be considered a modern day feminist. I do believe in equal rights for men and women. Men and women are different. We each have our talents that complement each other perfectly. I believe in equal work for equal pay. I do not bash men or think that women are superior. I love men. Today I do feel that women are treated fairly, in my part of the world. In some ways, I think men get the short end of the stick in the work place. I do not expect preferential treatment because of my gender. I do enjoy being treated like the woman that I am and I do not wish to be treated like a man. Equal rights do not have to be identical, just balanced and fair.

''Does "equal" necessarily ought to mean the equal?'' sure. If something isn't the equal, then the worth can be subjective, as visible below: ''My mother was a stay-at-residence mother but she was an equal in her marriage and she had equal obligations though they had been distinct responsibilities than those of my dad.'' this is your own individual opinion, no longer fact. If I was once to discover the marriage, I could say the dad had extra accountability (or vise-versa). Previously when females have been gatherers and guys hunters, they were using each and every different's strength. This was once modeled in the housewife-breadwinner relationship. However, as much as it employed both guys's and women' strengths, it failed to give much possibility for anyone--guys and females alike--to do what they wanted freely. So in reply to your 3rd question, sure, each person will have to have equal possibility which we have already got. Nonetheless some militant and not-so-militant feminists appear to think equal possibility much mean equal outcomes and declare the truth that there don't seem to be as many female as male candidates is a sign of ultimate oppression. (Some) Feminists view Sweden as one of the egalitarian international locations in the world with no trouble in view that almost as many females as guys are in the work drive.

There is no such thing as "modern-day feminists." There is no one monolithic group of feminists who all agree on the same things or share identical beliefs. So, no I don't think that equal rights mean identical rights, but I don't claim to speak for all women, or all "feminists." I do think that we are all created equal, and that we are all due equal rights and equal respect. I think it is highlly immoral for anyone, male or female, to place him- or herself above another human being or try to deny another human being's rights, freedoms, or choices. As soon as we start allowing one group one set of rights that are denied another group, freedom and equality go out the window and we create yet another Animal Farm where "We are all equal, but some of us are more equal than the others." This is how strife, competition, and even war are created.

I think I understand what your trying to say. While I have no desire to enter a man's public restroom and use the urinal(identical rights), I do expect the same pay for doing the same job just as well. (equal rights)

''Does "equivalent" unavoidably might desire to point a similar?'' sure. If some thing isn't a similar, then the value would be subjective, as seen under: ''My mom grew to become right into a stay-at-domicile mom yet she grew to become into an equivalent in her marriage and he or she had equivalent well-known jobs although they have been diverse well-known jobs than those of my dad.'' it particularly is your guy or woman own opinion, no longer actuality. If i grew to become into to computer screen the marriage, i ought to declare the dad had greater accountability (or vise-versa). interior the previous while women human beings have been gatherers and adult men hunters, they have been utilising one yet another's potential. This grew to become into modeled interior the housewife-breadwinner courting. notwithstanding, as much because it employed the two adult men's and ladies human beings' strengths, it did no longer provide plenty probability for every physique--women and adult men human beings alike--to do what they wanted freely. So in answer on your third question, sure, each physique ought to have equivalent probability which we've already got. notwithstanding some militant and not-so-militant feminists seem to think of equivalent probability plenty propose equivalent effects and declare the actuality that there are not as many lady as male applicants is a demonstration of final oppression. (some) Feminists view Sweden as between the main egalitarian countries in the international because of the fact merely approximately as many women human beings as adult men are interior the paintings tension.

Identical rights are not possible based on individualism. Each individual should be able to receive equal treatment for equal production...ie...equal pay for the same job. Equality means to me all people have the right to live freely how they choose as long as their choices do not take another life or do irrefutable harm to another person.

Er, no, and equal RIGHTS do not NEED to be "identical." What is wrong with difference? We demonize and are terrified of difference; we can never simply recognize, learn about, and appreciate it. Still, rights under the law and in society MUST be equal - for every human. This is a humanist philosophy. People should be humane and decent and fair to each other.

Um ............. unless somebody went and hijacked the english language 'equal' and 'identical' are synonyms. So fighting for identical rights is the same as fighting for equal rights. Identical but not equal and equal but not identical is like saying I'm walking while sitting and sitting while walking.

In life things are not equal nor can they be. that is what started the war in heaven is when Satan wanted to be equal with others

No. Modern-day feminists are absolute idiots. Everyone believes we should have the same rights and should be treated the same bla bla bla. But there are things that women blatantly won't do. "I'm not changing a tire... thats a MANS job." "I'm not doing this.... I'm a WOMAN." I think most of these people need to get the hell over themselves.

Being treated equally politically and in the workforce is good but there is absoutely no way the sexes could ever be completely equal.
