Gender Equality question

[techguru]

because if a woman hit a man..it might hurt

if a man hits a woman (hard)...it could kill her

[Demiqas]

>taking the whole equality and gender thing seriously

 

are you so bored you have to come up with stuff to be worried about?

 

also note that no situation is the same, if a women ever pushes you or gives you some slap you generally don't hit back for obvious reasons. If some bitch is fully dedicated on trying to beat you up, you retaliate.

 

it's not okay either way in todays society because men are non-existent. Seriously, have you ever seen what your average american man even looks like nowadays? hard to tell the difference between them and girls.

depends on what type of physical build the man and woman have.

 

Just to throw in another 2 cents into this topic: Men are not the only rapists and sex offenders.  Women can also be rapists, sex offenders and are just as capable of using their gender and position (for example, in a corporate environment) to get what they want and force those under them into compromising positions.

There is nothing wrong with holding a door open for someone, or standing up when a woman enters the room or she herself stands up, taking off your hat when greeting a woman, putting out your cigar/cigarette before talking to one... it's called being polite.  There's nothing absolutely wrong with saying "ladies first", even the normal rule on a sinking ship is women and children first.  Unfortunately there are some "feminists" who get offended because someone is polite to them.

You Sir are a dying breed!

I agree with everything you say! More people need to do this! 

[Yoinkerman]

The short answer is it's more complicated than that. It's easy to cherry pick individual situations where one sex is favoured over another. It's so easy that I would consider it meaningless.

women can't really rape a man tho...atleast not of a certain age

Of course they can. Don't be daft. Rape includes much more than penis in vagina.

agreed with the others, but this one is a biological limitation lol.

Well, that is why you have enough brain to regulate the force.

 

I`m born in a christian family but my father cheated on my mother and leaved us when I was 1y old.

I grow up with very simple rule. Be good to others if you want the same from them. But if someone is bad to you don`t feel shame to repay them, even with an interest.

And my great-grandmother which managed to stay alive up 97 years used to say: If someone slap you turn over and slap the sh** out of them.

So yeah, I was raised in family full with womens and none of them believed in this "don`t hit woman even with a flower, bla bla".

 

p.s. My english is sh*t, I know, but it`s not my native language so I don`t really care, lol.

for it to be rape..the man would have to not want the sex.....and unless shes a grotesque monster...thats not gonna happen

What about those who sexually abuse people who may physically be adults but may mentally still be that of children?

It's easy for those in "power" to take advantage of those who are incapable of defending themselves.

Alright bend over ill grab a broom.

About that, I remember reading an article last year in one of our national newspapers about a man drugged with a drink and kidnapped from three womens. After that they lock him up in some basement with chains, feeding him only energy drinks and viagra and used the poor man as living sextoy for about 3 or 4 days before police managed to catch them. They found the man in near death state. So yeah, women can rape.

Its just that 99% of all men lived through this will not tell anyone under no circumstances.

thats more like torture..not rape...if those women treated him well and used him as a sex slave...I can basically gurantee that man wouldn't have minded at all

 

remember...rape is just the sex part..anything else doesn't fall under that

[Belgarionbg]

That is not exactly true, but oh well. I guess every country have its own laws and stuff.

Believe it or not, a man may not want to have sex with any woman, anytime, anywhere.

[KingKeith55]

It's fine the way it is. It could be far worse, just deal with it. Noone follows the "it's ok for Women to hit Men but not the other way around" anyway. That's some early 20th century stuff that was mainly to keep men orderly.

This is true in the workplace as well. I (I'm female) have not been at my most recent job very long and have already moved up quite far in the workplace. Raise, more hours, employee of the month, and better position etc.. I know its not just because I am hardworking and take initiative, but it is also because I'm a women. Women have it easier. I've seen it plenty of times and women don't make it any easier for men. Take my husband for example, it took him a long time to get into the high position he is in right now. Even though he is a hard worker and takes initiative as well. Now if he was a women he would have gotten his position in less than six months with probably a higher pay raise to boot. Women get pay raises faster than men too, its wrong. And why is it that women always get the secretary jobs instead of, lets say, construction and men are expected to do construction instead of secretarial work. Why must men in the food industry be the cooks and women the waitresses? Woman want equal opportunity and equal pay but don't want to do equal work. Frankly, it's BS. Period. Honestly I get infuriated at work when I go to lift something slightly heavy at work and someone yells at me, " Don't lift that you can get blankety blank to do that!", and I'm just like, " I am perfectly capable of picking this up for myself!". But I have to say one of my favorite things to do is show other women up. Like when a chick asks a guy to take some boxes somewhere for her and he starts on one and I just jump in and be like " where do you want this one?" And they usually have this dumfounded appalled look on their face like why are you lifting that that's men's work. For women it's, " help me!". For men it's natural. Same goes for splitting the bill, its considered natural for a guy to have to pay for the date. But if she says " hey lets split the bill" she's considered independent. But if he says the same thing he's cheap. What else is messed up is like, somewhat previously stated before, women are brave when they hit men but men are evil, brutal scumbags if they dare touch a women. Even if that women swung first. Also lets say a girl suddenly kisses a guy, that's romantic right? But oh no, if a guy does it he's a perverted creep that usually gets slapped or at least deeply frowned upon. Or if a girl stares at a dudes crotch that's flirting but gosh no don't stare at the boobs, that's perverted and offensive! Oh and don't accidentally walk into a girls bathroom you'll be a pervert doing that too but if it's a girl hey, it was just an accident. And don't even think about going to the police for any sexual harassment cause they won't take you seriously. Guy to cop, "She assaulted me!", cop- " meh, who cares?" Girl to cop, " he touched me boobs!" Guy gets taken away in handcuffs. Poor guy.. But, Gender Equality right?

Yeah, this.

 

Thats at least true for me. I dont want to have sex with just anyone.

 

Just the person I love.

Well, love is a strong word. But I digress. Off topic.

I do not know what field you work in, but women generally get paid less.There is plenty of data to back that up. There are a few fields where women excel in over men like nursing. Women generally have to work harder to move up and be respected. I agree with almost everything else you said, but the guy stuff only applies to unattractive guys. One of my friends pointed it out to me a few times. We would do the exact same thing and I would get away with it as being romantic, but he would be thought as creepy simply due to my looks.

True. I see where your coming from.

As for pay, I mean just raises not pay in general. I agree men usually get payed more that women but I feel it's easier for women to get raises. As for careers in business and jobs like that, like you said on moving up, women don't have as good as chance in those areas. So I agree with that too. So its really just the scenario and who it is. It's sad how it can't just be the same for all.
