What makes women "equal" ?

Question

I'm having a little trouble with this, I'd appreciate your help if you could.

>>It's safely assumed they're not equal in physical prowess and strength. Ok, so you would assume they have advantage in some other area then...

Are they emotionally stronger and more rational? Are they able to control their emotions better and more efficaciously

than men?

Are they overall 'smarter' than men? Is their ability to produce/create and make logical deduction to an end which creates objective advantage greater than men?

Are they more psychically astute than men? Can they percieve and interpret the future and 'existence' beyond concious observation far greater than men?

Are they more dextrous than men? Are they better equipped to survive and adapt in enviornments?

What is the advantage they possess, this is something i've been thinking about and would appreciate some of your help.

This is a serious question-

Answer 1

1. True, but they're more physically flexible. And on a mental scale, better able to consider more than one thing at a time. Which would make a well-trained woman a largely better fighter than a man.

2. No. Haelle no. But they feel more than your average man. That doesn't make their emotions more stable. But that they'll pick up on and therefore have to consider a more complex range of emotions than a man.

3. Intelligence carries next to no consideration for s*x. I say next to because men have a tendency to think on a more straight forward path. So women would have the 'attention to detail' heading.

4. More sensitive to emotion might indicate this. However, I think this is more of an individual trait as I've known many women who can and many men who can.

5. More of a personal trait than one based on s*x, the skill is in the painter, not the colours they use.

6. There is no advantage. That would make them superior, not equal. They have very different natural abilities and traits to men, so to say one is better than the other is really like saying a plastic bag is better than a television. They are equal because they can learn, achieve and aspire. They're equal because at the end of the day every man starts as a woman and short of a few different hormonal factors, we're the same.

Answer 2

I'm sure they will all say they are able to have children and that makes them equal.

Actually they are right but only in the sense that we need them. Without women you and I would not be here. They are equal in a sense that they are human. Sure the average guy is stronger than the average girl, but there are many strong women and many WEAK men. go to any gym if you don't believe me.

If ever there were a real war of the sexes to break out I have no idea who would win.

Women do have (on average) what I believe is superior intellect. I believe they would deploy a rather simple strategy if such a war were ever to break out which is, any man who proves himself as worthy and valliant to fight for us will be honored with endless women. ... I think you'd be fightin alone after that buddy :)

Answer 3

NOTHING makes women equal to men.

Answer 4

Anything you can do I can do better, I can do anything better than you.  (Its a song, you should hear it)  You might want to check youtube.com

Answer 5

i think that to group us by gender is wrong. however, i think it is a difference in how we look at the world (although modern teenagers and women disprove the point im about to make), and how we deal with other people. men can have a tendency to cover emotions, and hide from home truths. they find it easier to laugh and point, and ignore what should be done. women, on the other hand, seem more able to accept a situation and not try to change it back to what they knew. of course im not speaking generally, and the same cant be said for a lot of women nowadays, but some women are more reflective on the world situation, and on how things 'could have been'. some men will protest these points, as im sure there are men who are far more sensitive and astute than a lot of the women bought up in society today.

Answer 6

Well, they do live longer.

Answer 7

To be honest, I don't believe that we're all equal... you will find that there are some women in the world that are far better at "mens work" then men, and you'll find some men out there that are better at "womens work" then women are.  I think that we are all equal in the way that we should be treated.  But being a man or a woman aside, our individual abilities are not equal, because there is always someone else out there that is better in either gender.

Answer 8

seriously, women aren't equal.  They are above and beyond men. hehe!

Answer 9

Does one man being stronger than another make him a better person? Being smarter? Being telekinetic or clairvoyent? No. People are not better or worse than others based on petty things like strength, speed, smarts, or stamina. People are equal because we all have life. Women are equal to men because they are human beings.

Answer 10

see men have penises but women dont, instead they have b***s

it balances things out quite evenly if you think about it

Answer 11

I think you have missed the point about equality. Equality means fair and equal treatment by laws etc. I see by your avatar you are dark, years ago black people wern't considered equal. Yes they have different skin, cultures etc to white people but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be treated equally.

When it comes to pshycial strength it's all about how much you work out. Any gender difference is society driven, we can see this when we compare other cultures that have reversed sterotypes. It's ignorant to say all women are emotional, all men are strong because there's too many exceptions.

Answer 12

Women mature faster than men physically and mentally which explains why you see lots of men dating younger women. Its because their maturity is at the same level.

Men will typically always dominate with physical strength. We are just stronger.

Granted women can give birth.

A man might feel the needs to fix something. A man will never want to admit he is wrong. That shows weakness.

A woman might not understand what items are necessary...example shoes.

A man will be ready when he says he's ready. A woman will not be ready when she says she will.

A woman will return your call promptly if she says she will call you. A man will return your call when he gets around to it if at all.

If a man had problems with someone else, they could just hit the guy and the fight is over.

Women aren't necessarily as physical in their battles. They try to attack through looking prettier than the other ones, and possibly gossiping.

I am stereo-tying on many levels but I do believe that much of this is true.

Answer 13

Most of the things you said are not even true.  Most of the time men are stronger but there are times when some women are actually stronger than some men.  Some guys are emotionally weak whereas some women are emotionally strong.  Gender does not determine if someone is smart or not.  Men and women are meant to be equal due to both being human beings.  One is not of lesser value than the other.  It was thought that many years ago the man worked and the woman did housework.  Now both can work and both can do housework (I lucked out on that as I work and do the housework, buy anyway).  The world can not go on with only one gender, both is needed.  That is why both are equal.  That is my arguement!!!

Answer 14

The Constitutional Amendment. Plus the fact that they do have a brain as well as a man.

Answer 15

Because they're human.
