Equal Rights = Being treated equally?

[Grandpa Gohan]

First off, I put spam off because I think this could easily turn to the spammy side, and god knows what might happen then.

Recent things in real life have lead me to be thinking about this(mainly a fight with my sister). Everytime we get into it, we always SOMEHOW get into a thing about how women should be treated liek theyre some little gem that could easily be broken. And, like always I feed into it and we get into this equal rights vs being treated equaly.

I'd like to hear other peoples opinions on this, does equal rights = being treated equally? I'm part of the side that says that women(specifically) want to be treated equally(I believe everyone should have equal rights). I'd just like to know other peoples points of views and whatnot.

Only inside the law and God are you treated equally. That's what I think.

Well, I would like to be treated in a fair manner. I have been targeted in games because of my gender, and it's always the same. Anyway, if it's down to jobs and the like, women and men should have equal chance. What if I want to work on a rail road? They should at least let me, some women are just as good as men are at those things.

I'm a little old fashioned. I would rather work at a basic job until I have children, and then stay home and raise them. I don't care if people see that as stupid, or a waste of my life. I would rather be a house wife, than to leave my children in the hands of a baby sitter whom I may not even know. Hell, even friends can have a bad history...I have experienced bad baby sitting myself, and never want to see any shit happen to my own kids.

A lot of girls are different, some want to be pampered and treated like little ladies while the men do everything we can't.

Equal rights does isn't the same as being treated equally. Right now, in America, women have equal rights that men have, yet they're not treated equally. At the current percentage, a female rakes in 75% of what a man does, annually, and both have the same job, and degrees.

It would really be easier if everyone was colored blind. Give everyone the same rights, the same process, blacks, whites, yellow, purple, poka-dot, it doesn't fucking matter.

Women...they have equal rights but they are not treated the same. Sorry if this offends anyone out there but women especially feminists need to learn that if you want equal rights that means the good with the bad...no more of this you dont hit girls shit. Sorry, but you want to be treated fairly, that means everything.

Which would include women getting drafted.

I agree with you Mura, and although I hate the sexist crap I've dealt with on WoW (omgz a girl playz teh gamez!11?), I deal with it. I try to joke back. Honestly when it comes to rights, I don't care whats going on. I get my money, I work my hours.

This reminds me of a beef I have with the military. Women want to be allowed to be part of the Armed Forces. Groovy. I'm all for it. But hold them to the same standards that men have to pass. Right now, they have a lower minimum for both push-ups and the 2-mile run. All I'm saying is that if they want to do the same things men do, then hold them to the same standard.

[Aero]

I honestly think that women just want to comfort to know that they're being treated equally. I don't think they really want to have to endure the things men do, like: draft, etc.

I was going to go on a rant here but I decided to simplify it to this one sentence.

Fuck hypocrisy.

I'm all for equal rights as long as you don't expect to get the best of both worlds.

[Hellfighter 17]

Men and women, when it really comes down to it, aren't equal.

That's pretty much my opinion. I dislike how men are societally obligated to do certain things. Paying for meals, drinks, etc. Fuck that. You buy me a drink, then we'll talk. The problem is, so many guys continue to do this stuff that it's difficult for the stereotype to be broken. It's a problem pervaded by people in both sexes.

[Kirano]

And these are just some of the examples which obligate equal rights.

Way I see it is equal in EVERYTHING or NOTHING!!!! xD
Back to all women being housewives is the best solution. j/k....actually no

It really is the easiest way Bebi. Not only will Dinner be on time but they can actualy raise their kids rather then letting the day care do it and not install any vaules within them.

It's so not true, though. Philosophically, I believe in gender equality, but when it comes to the real word, the two genders just aren't.

There's nothing to say men can't stay home and raise kids instead, though. Personally I'd much rather look after my own kids than go to work, but the problem is money and actually having kids. XD

I was joking for the most part there Supes. Truthfully I feel that the mother should be the one to raise the kids, at least for the most part. Thats not to say that the father is no where around, but honestly, you expect me to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to just bring the kid to my wife so she can breast feed him...no, she can get up.

That has nothing to really do with the conversation, so sorry bout that.

I advise you to read my girl Trouble thread. Its a old thread, but you'll see that I hit a girl who was bad mouthing me and making threats. So i gave a one two, and knocked her out. I was called Woman Beater here for awhile. But it ended. Here ill grab the link for ya. At least I think its in theres, if its not let me know. The vets will know what im talking about. The thread is about something else, but i mentioned about hitting a girl in there, thats why i chose it.

See the post in there by majin Buu1111

yea I remember.

Equality is really the topic on which I spend a vast majority of my college studies. I could go on for ever, and I will at some point, but for now let me just say this:

No two people on this planet are equal in everyway (regardless of gender, religion, skin color, or whatever). People should be judged by merit and merit alone.
