I don’t understand what gender equality even means.
As a female, I have never, ever felt inferior to/lesser than/not equal to men. DIFFERENT, of course, but that’s not something to struggle against.
This chick talks about her issues with feeling equal while she was growing up. She sounds like someone with a mental problem to me.
“As a female, I have never, ever felt inferior to/lesser than/not equal to men. DIFFERENT, of course, but that’s not something to struggle against.” -— well put. That’s the premise with which many activists in iran work, for example. Among those activists are more than several men who understand, work with & support women activists to the point of going to prison and being abused themselves, which might surprise some in the west. These men & women all fighting for same basic rights for women, whilst acknowledging the “difference” between a man & a woman. Unfortunately, the physical strength & biological differences between men and women are also often used as an advantage by not only the sexist but also almost misogynistic islamic culture in today’s iran, for instance. Other than that, what the women there really want is to have “same opportunities” in having custody of their kids, equal pay for same job, equal weight in being a witness in legal terms, and so on.. as their male counterpart. It’s very reasonable. Of course there are also other women there who are ok with being in a Purely supportive position to men.
