Equality Between The Sexes? Never Gonna Happen!

By: Aminathius

Written on September 21st, 2012

And this is my explanation for this. Women and men are different. Plain and simple. One has a penis and the other a vagina. They have different uses. They act differently, talk differently, have different emotions, different abilities.

Let me put it to you this way. Both -2 and 2 are numbers, and are both equally important in mathematics, for without -2 there would be chaos. There would BE no mathematics as we know it. But -2 DOES NOT EQUAL 2! They are not equal to each other. Equally important to each other, yes. But not equal.

There are some holes I see in the cloth of Feminism that none of them can really explain. For women who want men and women to be equals, there sure is a lot of double standards.

Feminism has made it so that it's not okay to hit a girl, but it's okay to hit a guy and other such nonsense. If a woman wants to have men and women be equals, they can no longer expect men to open the door for them, just as men never expect the door to be opened for them. They have to be equally willing to give up their seat on the bus for a man as a man would for a woman. They have to no longer expect to be treated like a woman, because they want to be treated equally to men, meaning that all those little perks women traditionally get just for being women would no longer be given to them. Those perks were from the old days that Feminists look back on with distaste. Equality has to come from BOTH sides, not just the men.

A last word. Now, I know that a lot of Feminists probably truly have men's best intentions in mind, but most people who also call themselves Feminists do not. If they REALLY wanted to help, wouldn't that mean that they would also be fighting to stop those Feminists who really do hate men from bashing them as well as promoting equality?

Feminism is just a fashion , like old hippies . One can acknowledge its usefulness to some degree and one can over do it as well.

In my youth, a major point feminists hammered on was that it is degrading for a woman to be supported by her husband. Women did not have to make an equal contribution, because of alleged discrimination against women in the workplace. But they had to make a decent effort.
I have noticed that this feminist rallying cry is gone. Why? Because it made it harder to recruit women allies. To be work 40 hours a week while raising children can be tough. Feminism no longer scorns SAHMs. It is now silently conceded that it is OK to take advantage of the fact that one is a woman.

I think when feminism is targeted at developed societies it's useless. It can have it's uses in less developed countries, though, especially for reducing world population. Men and women certainly are different and not 'equal' in the literal sense of the word. I'm a woman that acts more like a man, but most women I know aren't like that. I also think it's unfair for women to expect chivalry these days, which was an excellent point.

  FGM in Africa, and the recent murder of a woman in India while she was gang raped, are hard evidence that feminism is needed in the Third World. Women there can still be victims of barbaric treatment. But a great deal of what exercises feminists in North America and Scandinavia is about real and imagined mere symbolic slights. The battle has been won for 1-2 generations. This fact was obscured in the USA by the surge in rapes that was part of the crime surge of the second half of last century. Rape ebbed, once it became possible to sequence the DNA in the ***** swabbed out of a raped woman's vagina. This sequence could be compared to that of cheek scrappings from suspects. It was no longer his word against hers.

  That's a good point, exactly why it's still needed in developing nations. Those people who claim that feminism is irrelevant are definitely wrong... It's good to know that we're getting more technology to counteract this, too. I think the difference between a third world and first world country is, truly, how the women are treated. Countries that force women in to baby-making or sexual services are undeniably third world.

I concluded decades ago that "equality" between men and women is chimerical. There is no possible equality between humans. All we can achieve is to have certain rules of the political and economic game apply equally to all members of some set of people. This is procedural equality, something our ancestors worked out in recent centuries, mainly because if you don't have procedural equality (fair play), those holding the short end o the stick turn resentful and violent. You cannot have equality of condition, simply because people differ in their capacity for enjoyment and creativity.

What I write here is in profound disagreement with President Obama's second inaugural address. So be it.

  Men spearheaded the industrial and economic revolution of the past 3 centuries.
  But women probably discovered language and agriculture. Men do politics. Women nurture friendships and family ties. Men make most art; women value it. Men farm; women garden. Men do things with their hands, and shuffle numbers. Women work with words. Each gender is incomplete without the other.
  Men strike me as a troubled lot. Women live in a golden age of growing opportunities.

Yep, men and and women are equally important but we are not equal. And contrary to popular belief that is perfectly okay. Thank you for posting this and I hope you don't receive hateful or nasty comments.

I agree and would add that woman would also have to lift heavier things, and kill their own bugs.

  Here in New Zealand there's a franchise called Hire-a-Hubby (no, not that... settle down, girls). It's a home-maintenance *** odd-jobs *** man-about-the-house service aimed at woman living alone. One of the franchisees told me that a remarkable percentage of His calls are to remove icky dead rodents and suchlike, and to capture spiders in the bathtub and put them safely back outside (i keep His business card handy, just in case the 'Day of the Spider' arrives)

  Janine, I too am a Kiwi.
  Dead rodents are easily moved with a whisk broom and a dustpan. In my household, my wife is the more ruthless white tail killer. She taught me how to use a glass tumbler and a postcard to trap a spider and release it outdoors.
  Hire a Hubby has legitimate uses -- handyman stuff. Heavy duty outdoor cleaning. Backed up toilets.

Excellent points my dear. I especially appreciate the point you made at the end . For the most part, feminism doesn't fight for equality, it fights for special status for women which is unfair on its face.
