Why do women make such a big deal of being treated equal to men when it's not what they really expect?!

Question

Why do women make such a big fuss on being treated same as Men when really they don't actually want that. They always go on about equal treatment, yet if a women was given a job to carry a heavy box at work when a male was present, they would make more fuss that it's not a lady's job to do. Men can't raise their voice a tiny bit to a women because she'll make a big deal and say you can't raise your voice to a women. :S

Women and men have differences, face it.

They pick and choose when they want to be treated equally and when they want special treatment for being a women.

And yes.. I'm a women myself lol, but i don't have a problem with half of the things most women fuss about. Of course there are some things that should be equal like voting etc. But some women just take it to extremes.

why can't we all just accept our differences.

Answer 1

There are two types of women when it comes to 'accepting our differences,' in my experience.

There are those who look at statistics telling them that they're supposed to be inferior to men in some areas, and they go "oh, good, now I don't have to train myself physically or educate myself in anything difficult, and I can blame my incompetencies on my gender."

Then there are the types who look at those statistics, go "well, sucks for all those women who make up the average," and finish up their strength-training exercises before they head to their jobs in engineering.

The nice thing is, you get to pick which type you are.  But one thing to keep in mind is, for those of us men who are looking for something more than an ornament in a partner, the latter type are far more attractive.

Answer 2

Thats funny I never complain about lifting heavy boxes or when a man raises his voice because I can too.  However; I think that the need to raise ones voice at work is childish.  You ask why women make a fuss and then point out that not all women do? Why do some women make a fuss because they are lazy or prefer to appear weak in front of men in my opinion.

Answer 3

I agree with you. If women wants to have the same equal rights with men then, let them haul boxes and all the heavy work that men do and perhaps they will come to their senses that men and women are not equal.

Answer 4

It's because women can get away with nearly anything they want.  The problem is that nobody punishes them for bad behavior.  So, unless it's a serious criminal offense, odds are women just get away with it.

This stems from years of propaganda that men are bad and women are good.  And a constant lie telling us that women know best when it comes to how people should behave.

The truth of it is that many women take advantage of the taboo of calling them out on their bad behavior and just run amok like a spoiled child.  They'll use "equality" for any sort of gain or privilege and yet have no moral problems about how respecting anyone else "equality" if it would hinder their special treatment in any way.

Answer 5

Because men and women are not diametrical opposites. Some women actually like carrying heavy things without a man's help. Some women can also handle a screaming match with a man. The last thing I want in the world is special treatment for being a woman. Maybe I'm alone in that, but it happens.

Answer 6

I pretty much agree with you.  I love being a woman, I'm proud of it.  I want to be treated like it.  It is needless to say in our society (with the exception of a very few REAL sexists) that I am very capable and can be independent.  But I want doors held for me, and boxes taken out of my arms when men are present, and chairs pulled back, and bad language withheld, etc.  I'm not so insecure in my role as a female as to need to fight about it.  I don't see any men out there having rallies for masculinity.  

And when it comes to jobs, I believe there are some positions better held by men, and vice versa.  Woman are more emotional by nature, men are less.  This is a factor in professions, etc.  I don't think there's much a man can do that a woman CAN'T do (or vice versa, again), but some things are better done by one or the other.

Answer 7

What you're describing isn't typical, at least not in my experience.  I'm a woman and I haul computer equipment around on a regular basis.  When my users (male) offer to help, I refuse because it's my job.  Besides, I do it all day and am used to it - they might hurt themselves (or, even worse, hurt the equipment).  I don't let people of either gender raise their voice to me at work because it simply isn't appropriate in a work environment.  If they try, I simply walk away until they calm down.  This is typical of the other women in my office who do technical work.  

Some women pick and choose.  Many of us don't.  People pay more attention to those who do because they are not the norm, therefore they stick out in your mind.

BTW, 'women' is plural.  The singular form is 'woman'.  You can't have 'a women'.

Answer 8

I disaprove the double standard, so, yes, I carry heavy files, but you know what?, a co worker carry the files of my boss who happens to be a male, so, no matter how I try to be equal on actions.

So, here, you have a woman who don't ask help to carry heavy things, who don't expect to be saved of travel on "dangerous" job trips, and so on.

Do yo think that will get me the place I deserve?, because I'm the most educated person on my area.

Answer 9

All differences are either accepted or downplayed according to the circumstances.  

Answer 10

Acknowledging differences in the genders is not the same as accepting gender inequity.  

Answer 11

you are so right about this issue,most women only want the benefits of being equals but they don't want the work. With jobs women want the easy boring jobs but they are afraid of the dangerous jobs.

those who are like this are lucky I don't rule the world,caus if I did they would know the real meaning of the word equality.

Answer 12

Your not treated as equals because we are not equal. We men enjoy having s*x so we do things for you.
