Are women really equal to men?

Well the reason why i say this is because women have certain "benefits" that men dont, men can punch another man and it almost seems normal but when a ma punches a women everyone will freak out and go crazy, i dont get why people freak out. Yes people think of women as small and defenseless but that is completely untrue, they can handle themselves.

Also why is it that whenever a women calls a baby cute the babies owner will strike up a convo with the women and be nice but then when a guy says a baby is cute then the women calls the cops. I am a 16 year old teen, I once saw a little kid (5 year old) singing in our park and i said "well that is cute, she is a little singer" then the women looked at me, grabbed her kid and said "get away from me and my child." I was shocked, so i did what she said because she kinda reached in her pocket for what looked like a cell phone. I will never for get that day.

those are just some of the things i see a lot, i wonder why women cant be the same as men, it really annoys me and i wanna know why this happens, any help would be nice.

    In my opinion YES women are and should be cconsidered "equal" to men. And I dont think that the fact that it is socially unacceptable to Punch a woman is a "benefit"? And for that matter it's not "normal" to go around punching other men either. The reason real men don't Hit women is not because we are "small and defenseless", it's because it's morally wrong and a real man respects a woman and there is never a good reason to beat one. Aside from that, yes, you do have more physical upper body strength and for most, (not all) it would not be a fair fight. Would you want some random man to hit your mother? And about you calling that kid cute, my fiancé and I call kids cute, he loves kids, and women strike up convos with him all the time, so maybe that's just you. And just because it's 2011 and women are considered equal to men doesn't mean we don't have our differences... As you may know we go through menstruation and go through pregnancy and child birth.... is that a "benefit" also?

    Why do you communicate approximately the circulate to have been fairly helpful interior the '70s? The activities of the '70s have been the top results of artwork that all and sundry started as some distance lower back because of the fact the '50s. between the main important issues strengthen into Lyndon Johnson's "great Society" law of 'sixty 3-'sixty 4 which placed the status of the White abode in the back of the Civil Rights circulate, and, as a facet effect, gave the South to the Republicans. It strengthen into the momentum from that impetus that convey approximately the law of the '70s, yet in addition sparked the backlash the convey approximately Nixon's election and the Republicans reclaiming the White abode. the only actual Feminist interest unique to the '70s strengthen into their attempt at an equivalent Rights exchange, which failed. they have been notably plenty on the sidelines on the grounds that. How plenty actually Feminist schedule law has been handed interior the final 35 years? they are regularly battling only save what they have been given then, maximum fairly Roe vs. Wade, which got here approximately in January of 'seventy 3, and strengthen into nevertheless in sufficient threat of being overturned to be a marketing campaign factor interior the final election, so even that could infrequently be noted as an unqualified achievement.

    Women and men are equal, it just that society socializes them to be different. People concentrate on what is different instead of what is the same. It would feel more equal if we stop assigning different roles to women and men. People assign different roles and people feel so safe in those roles, that they get so scared to step out the box. Some women are so lazy that they want to do something easy like stay in the home and do laundry and change diapers instead of getting off their butts and doing real work. Its not fair that the financial pressure is mostly on men. Its also not right that people say women are not equipped to do things men can do. If people would base jobs on the individual and not on the gender, it would be better.

    That has everything to do with the great damage the man-hating lesbians have done to our society, with the support of stupid women who are so gullible that they do whatever the gay-controlled media tell them to do and think whatever they tell them to think.

    Your story is funny in a way, in that women rape boys at a very high rate, at least in South Africa, where most of the child rapists are women. These pedophilic female rapists have raped 44% of that country's boys. Maybe women there should not be allowed to be around other people's children, and make all women in S. Africa register for a rapist registry. Since so many women rape boys there, women everywhere MUST be considered child rapists, so we need laws to protect children from women who are ALL perverts!

    It is true that most pedophilic rapists are women in S. Africa, but I was showing how evil and insane lesbo-feminists are, and how we must repeal any female-centric law, as they have destroyed our culture.

    To answer your question: Women as a whole are greatly inferior to men, and that is why they need so much help, to the detriment to men, to just barely compete against men. This is very severe discrimination and persecution of men, and must not be allowed. If they can't fairly compete with men, then they need to deal with that in a fair and constructive manner.

    Because society is still very sexist. Women are certainly not equal. If women were equal, there would be no feminism because there would be nothing to fight for.

    This is what happens when misandry is encouraged in our society.

    As a feminist, I am fighting for a day when men and women will truly be equal. Where women will not be underestimated or treated like children, and where men will not be overestimated and treated like sex offenders.

    EDIT:

    @Cassius

    Your post is filled with so much wrong that I'm reeling from the stupid vapors you are giving off.

    I really hope you are trolling. Sadly, it is really hard to tell nowadays....Poe?

    Also LESBIANS RULE.

    @Dkaljfd Dkljsf

    and that is why I despise chivalry and think women who encourage it are screwing us all over and obviously have not a shred of self-respect or pride for themselves.

    I can't see how anyone with even the slightest scrap of pride can let themselves be pampered like that. It's BS, and it makes women look like hypocrites.

    Legally no since women (especially the one in the West) are coddled and protected, and have many..many..special rights, laws, and privileges over men e.g.

    -VAWA law

    -Don't have to register for Select Service

    -Female criminals serve less jail times (or even no jail time) for same crimes

    -Affirmative actions & quotas for women

    -Tons of "women only" stuff, like: "women scholarships"; Council on Women & Girl; Women's Business Ownership Assistance etc..etc..

    -Far more research and funding are going into women's health than men's.

    -Education system favor female over male

    -Women can opt out of parental responsibilities but men can't (women have three ways to avoid parental responsibilities)

    -Bias divorce laws

    etc..etc.. a few of many..many.. examples.

    An expert prison rapist once said, "male and females have equal butts."

    Osnap: as long as there is chivalry, females will be treated like that. It's hard to consider someone your equal when....
