I think that women and men are different for good reason. Differences are good! Some people don't realize that.

I believe in equal rights for women. But some feminists don't want that - they want men to be trampled. They want MORE rights than men.

True, the operative word being "some".

[wimpycat]

You're right...it's "some". But "some people" seem to take what "some" women do and use it as an opportunity for a wholesale misogynistic pity-party. In effect, they take the "victim" role, in exactly the same spirit that the feminazis blame everything bad that happens in the world on men in general.

Men and women are different and I don't spend a moment worrying about legislators changing that one iota, Cathryn. I think I've posted on that point ad nauseum.

I do think that a lot of the changes that we've seen in this area in the last few decades have flowed more or less inevitably from the development of more effective contraception. And there's been a lot of legal experimentation that has taken place during that period of time, but none of it is irreversible.

I believe in equal rights for women.

So do I, I think. The problem with "equal rights" is that it only recognizes the individual, and her "right" to whatever professions she's qualified for.

So what about our woman who's strong enough to qualify, on equal terms, for army combat units? It's been demonstrated that the presence of a woman among fighting men, no matter how strong she is, is detrimental to the effectiveness of the unit. Shouldn't the woman recognize the larger goal, national security, and exercise her "equal right" in some other way?
