Women's Emancipation

So, people talk about women's emancipation, and women needing more rights and things like that. I think it's nothing but normal and fair to give women just as much right as men or as any other person because they're human beings just as much as we are. though I think getting the same rights as men means that they'll also have to do things that they're expecting men will do the way it is right now. small things like building stuff for example I don't know, just making something up. That's just something I made up right now but do you get what I mean?
please don't think that I don't spend women, or don't want them to have the same rights as men, it's not like that. I really want women to have the same rights as men as they deserved it just as much as we do, but I think it like the attitude can also be changed little bit, like the vision on what has to be done by men and women.
What do you guys think?

Personally, I think that when Men can bear babies, then they can claim equality to women
I'm kind of joking, but there is that - many men think because women have to stop and have children, they can keep them down, make them less than men are...
I'd like to see a MAN screaming like a baby trying to have one.

Haha, I guess you have a point there, women will always have something men won't.. But then again, I don't think equality on everything would be good for everyone, if you get me. Like if women and men would be exactly the same, that might not be good either..
Thanks alot for your comment :)

THe one thing I got mad about is one time tring to get a welding job the boss said he couldnt have a woman weld better than him so hired a kid that did nothing but chicken doodoo drops.
BUt I did get a job a t a place that made hose tailers and was one of the welders there.

First of all thanks a lot for your comment, that's actually quite nice story. I think girls should be able to do basically anything boys do the these days. I meanit's a good thing that women will get more rights and be treated equally just like men are, but as you said they can do the same things man are. Just the same for the men, I mean that's just fair right?
thanks again for your comment.

I think the question goes more like if men can do what women do. There are women who can build and do plumbing and mechanics but men can never give birth. We are obviously different and I think it's important to recognize this too instead of being 'equals' but women should have choices as much as men.. but what we choose may be different.. I mean, naturally it will.

Yeah that's true, there will always be differences, but then I think there are too many right now. I mean, it's seen as unusual that women are builders or plumbers these days, don't you think? That's just my opinion though.

Yes, just like you I support improvement of women's rights. But...
I don't understand such feminists who find that it's insulting for them when a man brings woman flowers and opens doors before her and so on (you know, tries to show up politeness and be a gentleman). They say that it makes women and men unequal and so on. I think that it's very wrong to think so, because many women actually like when men show them some special attention. It's not right to judge such caring behavior and consider it "an offense".
What I want to say, is that differences between men and women cannot be totally abolished, it would mess up the whole basics of our society. I am against this form of extreme feminism.

Thanks. No that's just rediculous if you ask me.. I mean isn't that just being a gentleman? It's just trying to be a good man and helping the woman to show you care about them, so why think it's insulting, I totally agree with you. I guess that's a part of the emancipation that can stay like, the guy having to be a gent to the woman, as it's just polite and shows respect.
I think you're right, it can't be totally abolished, but it can be improved way more if you ask me, women should be treated different in my opinion.
Thanks for your comment!

Absolutely and it works both ways. As men should also be expected to do just as much and or the same things as the woman as well.
There should be no limitations, see the way I see it sure some women cannot perhaps be construction workers, okay no problem.. some can do it just as well as any other man.
Same for the men in this and any other scenario.

Yeah, I agree with you there, I mean men should also clean up at home or be the one that's taking care of the children when the woman is working. Not always, but it could be that way, doesn't have to be the woman neccesarily.
And as you said, if you're not able to, it's fine, not everyone has to go this way. There should just be a possibility of it and people shouldn't look at you, thinking what is he/she doing?! when you do it.
Thanks for your comment!
