Also equal in God’s eyes. Which is of course the basis for equality under the Law, at least historically.

“Ummm - last I checked were in America where we speak American type English ...”
And last *I* checked, the article was published by the Times of London (that’s in England, in case your feminist geography book says otherwise), which quite correctly uses UK English.

The article is from the Times of London.
Should it have been translated to protect you from viewing alternate usage?

Off topic, but that reminded me of this cartoon, which I love:

Except, sad to say, that is why socialism is taking over.

Not really - the sentence structure is wrong even for UK English ....

And, in many ways, men are superior to women.
Somewhat like breeds of dogs, some tend to be quite territorial, like a sheep-dog, some tend to be very friendly with everyone (like many “family-dogs”), and some are inclined to be vicious (like guard-dogs)... basically, it all depends on what you want, what you’re testing for that allows you to say whether one or another is superior.

"Such generalisations never apply to an individual, of course... any one woman might be brilliant. Similarly, while women tend in general to be less aggressive and more conciliatory, there are plenty of ferocious females and Wodehouse aunts, and plenty of men who are shrinking violets with obvious implications for their working lives.
I thought it would be worth reemphasizing these lines from the article before everyone starts trying to contradict it with anecdotal evidence.

To: Sherman Logan
True. The use of ‘Difference’ to divide and denigrate people, regardless of sex, is a source of much angst in this life.
The irony is that is just this ‘Difference’ that makes for all of the raison d’etre. A World without these differences is one populated by robots or clones.
IMO only malcontents use these differences to divide.

Yup, that is funny :-)
Could be redone to poke fun at Obama’s economic plan.

Ah, feminist logic— gotta love it.
My point is that you were wrong to claim that the article made a grammar mistake.

Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers. Men had to chase down food, and women had to look for berries and roots etc..Thats why women still love looking for berries and roots, but they do it at the local supermarket...A man picks up a watermelon and puts it in his basket. The woman on the other hand looks them over, thumps them with their knuckles and check out the color...same thing in a clothing store, use to drive my husband nuts and finally one day he said "Do you have to touch everything in the store?" to which I replied "Yep"...
Upper body strength doesn't help in childbirth either. A man sees the charging elephant and the woman looks down for snakes and spiders...
Everyone except the feminists and newpaper reporters know we are not equal but complimentary..
To: SkyDancer
The structure seems a little non-standard to me. I would have worded it differently.
British English often allows slightly different sentence structure as well as different wording. I’d want a review from a well-educated Brit before agreeing her grammar was improper.

No need. I always read the article before posting. The author deserves credit for including those lines. My problem is with people (often FReepers) who make generalizations about the sexes
without saying anything about individualism.
My comment was simply to make the point that (conservative) feminists can have a sense of humor - and even (gasp) use self-depreciating humor.
