I'm not one that believes men and women are 'equal'.
They are not.
To be more specific, I'm not one that believes ANY two beings, whether they be male, female, dogs, cats, goats, elephants... it doesn't matter...are 'equal'. There is always a greater and a lesser.
Always.
Mind you, I don't use the term 'better than'-- just because I can read and you may not, doesn't mean I am 'better' than you. That's not true. But I WILL say 'greater than', because there's always someone smarter, taller, stronger, faster,...and the list goes on.
Thing is, where you will be greater than me in an aspect, I will also be greater than you in another aspect.
Sure, it may only be eating doughnuts, or sucking Jell-O cubes through a straw in 90 seconds, but there ARE things I will be greater in. That's never been the real issue, IMO.
To me the issue is 'Why does it, or why SHOULD it matter?'
Sadly so many people are uncomfortable in their own skin, or dread having their lack of achievements spotlighted, that offense is taken. Part of the problem, again this is only IMO, is that too many tend to focus on the negative, rather than the positive.
...but I still like YOU,...even if you don't like me.
