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

      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.

      Which is why, in general, men are better than women at everything, in general. :doh: Talk about being part of the problem rather than part of the solution.....

        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.)

          So that's why you don't get a pap-smear? Here was me thinking we would become equals in all aspects. Silly me.

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

            Ya, I don't think women actually want that. How about we start in divorce court? Or how about when a cop pulls over a woman? :laugh: :laugh:

                      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.
