Are women equal to men?

Question

i want some honest answers here people, no political correctness and i dont want women answering either.

Answer 1

This is such a loaded question because it is worded in such a way as to almost eliminate contingencies.  In what ways 'equal' - physically, intellectually, socially, culturally?  There are clear differences between the genders which means that they are unequal in most things (with either gender being marginally better or marginal worse in some clear ways) or, at least, differently abled in many ways.  For instance, let's take intelligence.  Men and women have the same mean average IQ score - the 80 to 120 range.  So, average IQ is the same.  But, if you break this down into its constituent aspects, you find that men and women dominant different sectors.  Women dominate the 80-120 range whereas men dominate the fringe ranges.  So, you have more male geniuses and more male morons.  You get into political correctness when you take these facts out of context and ignore or re-word the questions.  Why do you not want women answering?

Answer 2

Ha, i want doesn't get sunshine.

Women are equal to men, i personally think they are more important.

If it weren't for all those women who stuck by their children when their fathers walked out on them then there would be an awful lot of orphanages.

I admire single mums, they go to work, care for their children, have a social life, cook, clean, washing, ironing etc etc..

women are more important.

If it werent for women there would be no children, i don't see you men carrying a baby in your stomach for 9 months..

i don't see you breast feeding your children..

all you do is provide the sperm.

Men are far superior!!!

Answer 6

Yes, to some extent.

Answer 7

Yes both sexes are equal, men have some traits that most women don't, Brut strength, Women have there own areas of strength, compassion, etc.. both sexes contribute to each other making it equal to each other. No one s*x is better.

Answer 8

it depends on the environment in which they have been brought up in. but over the past few years it seems like women are edging above men. it seems liek it is the minorities with all the power nowadays

Answer 9

I think some women (especially the older ones) would say, if Hillary does not win the White House, then answer would still be "no". I don't believe myself at all. I've met women CEOs and politicians, my boss is a woman, more women graduate from college than men. There are still some old-school men and women out there, who still believe in the traditional role of women, but it's up to women to break that role, or evolve it.

Answer 10

NO MEN ARE HIGHER RANKED THAN WOMEN

Answer 11

<puts on false beard>

don't be daft. its all about the individual.

Answer 12

I would have to say yes except for the uneven hourly wages. Women I think earn maybe 75 cents to every dollar a man makes.

Answer 13

Why don't you want women to answer?

If you think men's opinions are the only ones worth having, you've obviously already formed your opinion.......

Kinda funny that you suggest that anyone saying "Yes" is being "politically correct". For just one sentence, you've managed to cram in a ton of prejudices. You're pretty efficient. That's the only thing I'll give you credit for.

P.S. Of course we are, in terms of worth as human beings.

Some people (of both sexes) wish women would stay as they were; stay virginal, stay at home, stay sweet. This comes from fear. Some men are afraid of being challenged by smart women, and some women are afraid of challenging themselves.

Shame.

Answer 14

No. There's not a person equal to other.

Answer 15

Men and women are fundamentally different.  That's just a fact.  Physically, emotionally, the whole thing.

BUT

I have to qualify that statement by says that just because men and women are different does NOT mean that the sexism that occurs today is ok.  I know lots of women who are more level headed than men.  I know lots of men who are more caring and sweet than women.  Each person needs to be taken as a whole person, and not judged on gender, but in capacity to do a task.  And sometimes that means that men are going to be better at some things, women at others because their gender is more naturally... tuned? that way.  You don't see many women in construction for that reason, and few men as kindergarten teachers.

Answer 16

Uh, no one with more than one functioning brain cell denies that women are human beings.

It's not about political correctness, it's about being human, and not being a complete, hate-mongering moron.
