[Monkeyman]

[Truthiness Inspector]

[lonestarnot]

5. Monkeyman has already had a couple doubles.

[Monkeyman]

3. Just got smacked they said you know we are better then you LOL

[lonestarnot]

6. Ahhhh poor monkeyman. Did you take it like a man?

[Kailassa]

4. Well I just had to put "other" to that.

Because you didn't have a
"women are so far above men they should kiss the ground our painted toenails have sanctified"
option.

7. Um, equal to what? Equal to each other? To men?

If you mean equal to men, then say it that way. Just sayin'.

A Woman's place is in the home,
and the senate.

9. I put "Other", because women, as a group, are far superior to

men - and all of us, deep down, know it. I am not being sarcastic or tongue in cheek - women, as a group, are better than men as human beings...it's just a fact...

10. That's a bit sexist, dont you think?

[Dhalgren]

21. If you look at the research that has been done on matriarchal

societies and compare them to patriarchal societies, you'll find that all of the matriarchal cultures were much more humane than any patriarchal one. I would suggest that the reason for this difference is that women ARE more humane - as a group - than men are. When women have an equal or greater power in society in relation to men, that society is more peaceful, more caring for those in need, less aggressive internally and externally and is very internally stable. I am not putting down men - to say that as a group, men have a larger muscle mass and are taller and run faster is not putting down women, it is just stating fact. The same with women's humanity - women, as a group, are simply more humane, therefore, I think, better human beings.

19. You're just saying that to get laid

[genie_weenie]

27. I think you are correct.

Women live longer, on average are smarter than men, and have a better skill set to thrive in the modern technological age.

Shit.

12. Who voted for options #2 and 3?

Explain please.

[TygrBright]

13. Women's role: Exactly the same as men's.

To educate themselves, to strive to make the world a better place for their children, to parent responsibly, to act according to ethical standards, to contribute economically to the well-being of the society.

That's the role of women in society. It's also the role of men in society.

adamantly,

14. Just for grins, what is a man's role in society?

If you watch TV, it's mostly to chase after sex, brag about skills he hasn't got and get jobs he doesn't deserve, and avoid any and all household responsibilities including the care of elderly parents and sick children.

Thank the gods TV is mostly bullshit, eh?

15. Chattle

Equal obviously, but all cultures are created as unequal. We keep trying to fix that by forcing equality into a system that was made to be unequal. Which is why we keep fighting this fight, over, and over, and over, and over. Sure, there's a win here and there, but there's always another problem.

So, like everyone today, a woman's role is to be used as a political tool with which to gain and consolidate power in whatever form that may take. So be glad you can be just like everyone else, just a cog in the machine. You can't create a different reality. Nobody can. So I say welcome female consumer. Our world is all about power, and you just want a piece. Not that I have any, but you could have all of it for all I care. Just allow me the freedom to not have to live within your new system of power. I don't want Men's Suffrage when women take over. I want a different way of being.

16. none of your damned business

you don't get to vote on somebody else's inalienable civil rights.

[Cerridwen]

17. The reality? Or the way we think it should be?....n/t

[Tesha]

18. Women deserve equal rights but women's role in society is not equal.

Women obviously deserve equal rights and the fact that we couldn't
agree to place that simple thought in our Constitution speaks
rather badly of America as a modern society.

But women are clearly not interchangeable with men. Consider
this thought experiment:

1. In society A, kill off all the men but ten.

2. In society B, kill off all the women but ten.

Now, in 100 years, what is the likely population of those
two societies?

That's why societies have traditionally been constructed to send
the men (and not the women!) off to be killed in wars.

20. Women Are Not Ambulatory Uteruses

Yes, a few men can impregnate untold numbers of women - but repopulation will only happen if the women are willing to remain pregnant.

Men and women are biologically different; that could be one reason why we're called "men" and "women" - ya think? But being able to impregnate/be impregnated isn't something to base one's worth upon.

22. You're suggesting I said things I didn't.

> But being able to impregnate/be impregnated isn't something

You're suggesting I said things I didn't. If anything, the
undertone of my post was that women are much more valuable
to a society than they are commonly given credit for. You
should also consult the reference I cited; it would give you
a much deeper view of what I'm trying to suggest here.

24. Then you have to hope that women like me aren't included in your

end of world scenario. Yes, I could get pregnant. But you would have to rape me to do it. Factor that little tidbit in your scenario and let me know how it works out for you. Or does it really not matter to you?

FTR, not all women desire to be human incubators.

[Tesha]

25. Okay.

Okay, you're factored in. You made a net change of 0.000001%.

Feel better now?

23. So, any of the "brave" posters saying women aren't equal to men

Want to own up to it? Or, like many in the Klan, do they prefer to act like roaches and hide themselves from the light?

Uh-huh, I thought so.

For shame.

[Tesha]

26. Don't look at me; I picked "other" but the DU Thought Police...

Don't look at me; I picked "other" but one post up the
DU Thought Police are busy jerking their knees rather
than thinking.
