Are men and women "equal" in all means ?

Question

Men & women are equal in law , rights , whatever . Yes.

But

on the other hand ;

Dont we complete each other with the features one has and the other doesnt ? Like the 2 halves of an apple .

And

Feminists ? do you still have something to argue about ?

Answer 1

if it only was true , but it is not and if you thank it is well then take a look at the laws in India and the new one passed in Mexico and there are a lot more that are forming in other counties as well that are in-fact gender bias. so in this the whole idea is being scrapped for a more favorable idea of prevention before it can become a bad thing, meaning that one could turn into a bad guy so lets charge him as one now before he does really hurt some women. and that's just one thing. ask any guy in idea what side of the buss he has to enter on and if he can have a argument with his GF or wife with out the worries of possibly being arrested and facing a year for it under DV.

Answer 2

I know what you mean. I think we are equal. We all have purposes in life and are pretty much the same things. I don't think there is anything that feminist need to argue about since we are pretty much equal they just don't believe it.

But in my research in my job there are a lot of gender discrimination on women involving there salary. Like not getting paid the right amount of money for what there jobs consist of and looking at the mens salary it was the right amount on the same work as a women.

Maybe that's something to argue about. I guess. Above all we are pretty much equal.

Answer 3

Women and men are equal in dignity and basic human rights. This does not mean that they are the SAME. Equality does not mean sameness.

Answer 4

no they are equal by rights in some places but are definitely different

Answer 5

"Dont we complete each other with the features one has and the other doesn't ? Like the 2 halves of an apple"

It appears many people would like us to believe this. I personally like to interpret the logic behind any belief BEFORE I indulge it.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Men and women are equal in terms of importance.

Answer 9

Yes we all are equal, but some are just a little more equal than others?

And have an army of things to blame, when things don’t go right, not needing to take responsibility

And be accountable!!

Answer 10

Woman are "equal" man?  it is illegal for women  to have b*****s out in public! there's no equality there. Time for a reality check mister. and Im no feminist. Can you fathom Any of the psychological implications of a society where a woman is not allowed to have her nipples in the sun but a man is?

There is no logical argument for a woman to not have her b*****s out. The only argument I've been given in public, by the public is because shes a woman?! where else in "law" is that statment allowed. one may as well not be allowed something because one is a different race or religion.

Check out my social study if you think we're equal.

Answer 11

No women are superior to men because women know the difference between equal opportunity and favourable outcome.

LOL!!!!

Answer 12

It's like ice cream and cake. Both are desserts, both taste good, but are different.

Answer 13

Men and women are equal but in different means.  In reality we are individuals and each of us have unique abilities.  BTW, the equal rights ammendment has not been confirmed by 2/3rds of the states so is not truly in effect.

I am not sure why this question is a problem for feminists or their counterparts in the male world.

Answer 14

No Not at all They are complimentary in nature but not equal. Man made laws are not natural laws.

Answer 15

Everyone is different.  There are strong similarities within each gender, but each gender runs the gamut of attributes.

It is equal treatment that women seek.  No one should want a world where everyone is alike.

Answer 16

ALL people are equal in law rights etc. But no two people are the same regardless of gender, race or age. True equality is when a bin man has the same respect as a surgeon.

EDIT: The thumbs down just proves that there are still misogynists who don't believe in equality - so when you still have these idiots in the world you will still need feminists to stamp them out.
