Equal? Never were!

There is equal and not equal. Like in the work place everyone should be equal. In real life no way. Women are women and men are men. We think different than they do. That is just nature. There is no way a man could be exactly like a woman and visa versa.

We're not equal, women think differently than men, and have their own unique skill sets. The bodies are different for one, which is more than a cosmetic difference. Because of that difference all kinds of things stem from there. I've never seen a seductive man (not that there aren't some, but ladies have the advantage there!). Cute and innocent, smart and serious, cunning and manipulative, there are lots of different combinations that I can think of, and even if the same adjectives and descriptors can be used on men, they are vastly different when executed.

I think our perspectives are shaped by our experiences and the people we come in contact with. If you are surrounded by uncaring men all your life, then it is not unusual to feel that all men are terrible. I think it's just good to avoid broad generalities... Try not to have stereotypes about groups, whether it is race, gender, political leanings, etc. There are many conservative republicans who are anti-abortion, but not all conservative republicans are anti-abortion. There are many that are fiscally conservative, but not so much socially, and vice-versa. Or the old thinking that women are bad drivers. I've known many women that are very good drivers, and men that are bad drivers. It's just better to avoid preconceived notions of anyone based on their gender, because if you feel that a man will treat you poorly because they are a man, then you may unintentionally/unconsciously create a situation that will make this reaction occur, thus reinforcing your bias. Confirmation bias is a very dangerous thing as it supports very closed-minded thinking. Anyway, just my 2 cents... but, I'm a guy so maybe these comments are not trustworthy. ;)
