Woman say they just want to be equal to men yet..... -men receive longer jail/prison sentencing -women are favored in family court -women get away with sexual harassment basically every time -there aren't battered men's shelters -the highest reports of rape are within men's prisons but no one not even rape advocates protest it -women who sleep with minors are not ousted like men are -women want to be equal but not ever pay for dinner or a date -women don't get drafted -boys grades are effected by their behaviour while boys should and are more energetic and rambunctious then girls Ugh I could go on for hours about this nonsense.

Difficult subject, but I agree on most of what you say, adding that women usually do not go around putting their hands on men, while men many times do, even if you do not agree.

It is much rarer for women to behave that way, but Amanda is right in that they are not penalised as seriously.

@Asylum In fact, I said that I agree on most what she says. Women have a better treatment, equality should be, same rights but also same duties. If you work you deserve the same salary, if you do something wrong you get the same punishment as men.

@LadyDuck The biggest imbalance is in sport. Women cannot compete with men, so they compete amongst each other instead. Snooker and darts are the best examples because they are not physical sports, so it seems illogcal for women to be unable to compete at the same level. In fact, there are women's snooker championships, but not men's championships.

Maybe in your household and mine but a majority of the women I know run the show within their relationship

I have always been a great believer in equality, but I also feel that it should be complete equality. All too often employment positions are based on gender. For example, if a company has ten supervisors of which eight are men, the next position is almost certain to be given to a woman in order adjust the balance. In reality positions should be offered to the best qualified, whether this be ten men or ten women.

I cannot really comment on this but as nature would have it, women have to receive favors everywhere. they sacrifice so much for their families anyway.
