Globally, in just about every society, women continue to generate increasingly more in regards level of education, domestication of roles, and spiritual consciousness. Despite the number of women who are enrolled in educational institutions, the position of stewardship is predominately occupied by males. Furthermore, female and single parent households are on the increase in any societies. This experience means that more and more women are becoming fathers and mothers of children. Notwithstanding the significance of both parents in the socialization of children, men still are supreme in the general "scheme" of things.
It appears that men are stronger and those physical characteristics that we have come to accept, "are men really stronger?"
Oftentimes, the when real social and economic pressures confront men they revert to physical abuse of the family and moreso the women. However, a women is able to absord nine months of having a child grow inside of her pressing against her lever and other biological organs; and she does so with a smile. With regards to job placement and "real" position of authority in retrospect to the women outnumbering men in educational system, men are predominately leaders.
I am forward of position of justice, I am looking at the situation of equity.
The examples forwarded here are just a few of the number of inequity in the social structure of our societies.
Face the facts, Paul. Men and Women are NOT equal and NEVER will be. They both have strengths and weaknesses, but together, as a team, especially a husband and wife team, they can accomplish a lot without having to try and be superior to one another.
I guess it depends on your definition of equality. Equal opportunity is wonderful and we are pretty close to that. Equal outcome is unfair and we seem to be striving for it. NOW points to unequal pay as a problem, without addressing the fact that men spend more hours at work than women do. We look at corporate leadership and see fewer women than men and think it's unfair, but it could be the same issue - men tend to work longer hours.
Couldn't be they work longer to avoid going home to their wives, or, perish the thought, they'd rather spend time with a female co-worker?

Yup. Equal as human beings, yeah. Equal in terms of strengths and weaknesses, no. If that were true, how boring would things be. What would men do if women didn't need them to open the pickle jar or shovel the driveway? :wink:

I can't agree with that. Unless it's by force not choice. Women have traditionally done the "longer hour" thing at home so why would we shrink in the work place?
It also, seriously, correlates with the fact that women aren't out of the hourly wage earner category as much as men and in the upper management wage category so they tend to not spend more time at work than what the time clock dictates.
