Maybe, just maybe, women and men aren't equal at all. Maybe we have different body parts, different strengths and weaknesses (both physical and mental).
Maybe the obviousness of my previous statement led to the structuring of society in such a way that a man's responsibility was to defend and protect the female (also called "chivalry").
Welcome to FR.
I’ve been here a few months.
But how odd that the qualities that would be considered “women’s strengths” are the less valued in society, but the ones that are considered “men’s strengths” are the ones society is structured around. I guess that’s not “man-made”, though (/sarc). And there can be differences without value judgments attached.
I don’t care to discuss this any further, as we are obviously light years apart on the issue. I will continue to point out misogyny when I see it, however. I will mention, though, that it’s amazing how overtly racist statements aren’t tolerated, here and in society, but blatently sexist statements are.
