    Equal in terms of representation under the law, or pay, yes. Physically and mentally, no.

      But women AREN'T completely equal to men. Hell, some men aren't equal to men.

        In case you missed it... And good luck to them. (Well, you know, apart from those who don't need any, being blessed enough already to be living in countries and with men with whom they enjoy complete equality already... sigh.)

          Women should not want to be equal with men. Women, in general, are better than men, in general. Women tend to civilize men, in general. (Exceptions to everything). I think it is often forgotten (by some) that men and women are different and that IS a good thing. Instead of equality (which can never be attained), fight for fairness.

          Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

              Case in point. A recent facebook post of a woman who will be resting in bed for the next few weeks is advertising MealTrain (or something like that) and the post reads something like, "I'll be laid up for a few weeks which means my husband will have to do the bills, clean the house, take care of the kids, and work. He could use some help." I'm good with helping. I have no problem with that. But for crying out loud men, stand up and be men!!! You can't handle taking care of your house just because you wife is recovering?! I hate hearing women complain that they can't leave their kids with their husbands because their husbands don't know what to do. Useless. Men, be men! :mad:

                Biologically, it takes more DNA-code to describe a woman than a man. So we may deduce that the woman is more complicated, and man being an "incomplete" woman? :)

                  I'm good with helping, but if someone dumps a child here I'll go straight to the neighbour. Know your own limits.

                    You're giving yourself away again - just because you do, doesn't mean everyone has a need to validate themselves.

                                      As John explained, it is not about physical equality, but fairness - to be treated equally in the eyes of the law.

                                      Not true. It takes an X chromosome and the presence of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome to induce a male. (Testis-determining factor - Wikipedia[^]) However, in females, in every cell one of the X chromosomes is discarded and made nonfunctional in a process called lyonization.
