Being equal doesn't mean being the same. Okay.

So what does it mean?

Jefferson,
5+5 = 10
7+3 =10
1 person is killed = dead
1 person commits suicide = dead
1 bloke robs another & gets $100 = $100
1 bloke works for $100 = $100
a feminist is not a real woman but still female
a real woman is also a female
so you see they're all equal but they're not the same. :-)

Individual wrote, "a feminist is not a real woman". Notice he didn't say in his "opinion". Therefore he wrote it as if it's "fact".

Ok individual, now tell us what makes a woman a "real" woman. Feel free to write a nice long post that covers all the things that constitute a "real" woman.

Samsung,
A real woman just like a real man are human beings who's biological difference does not come into the equation of daily life. They're not at all thrown off balance by remarks of gender because of PC. A real woman has sensuality, something the feminists can't fathom. A real woman does not go stupid because a man treats her like a lady. Another phenomenon the feminists don't grasp. A real woman can laugh at sexist jokes because she knows what fun is. Feminists don't understand fun unless it's whacko sarcasm.
Ah, & you'll find that the majority of real women haven't been screwed up at some Uni, they learn from life itself instead of relying on some dreamland academic to indoctrinate them.
Real women are in all walks of life but in noticeable short supply in academic circles.

Of course in mathematics, when we say that 2 + 2 = 4, what we're saying is that they *are* the same.

To say that equality doesn't mean the sexes are the same is to tell us what it does *not* mean. But it looks like none of those who "believe in" the equality of the sexes are willing or able to venture a definition of what it is supposed to mean to say the sexes are "equal"?

The fact that examples like these need to be even raised is frightening. I'll consider women as equal to men when women put women on the moon. Or better yet, men beat women to the mooon so why don't women put women on mars?

As stated previously to you Dane: 'behind every man is a great woman'; whether it be a mother, partner, sister, aunty, grandmother....for many blokes, there has been some female, somewhere, encouraging or supporting them at some stage during their lives.

As for the moon...I would not use that analogy regarding genders in this era Dane. Any day soon.

With the support of both men and women, over the past 50 years, times have changed to allow both genders to study, qualify and be employed, whilst conceiving, carrying babies, giving birth, and raising children. No small feat for most women, mothers and partners.

Studies also demonstrate that most women with partners take on all of their partners needs and problems in addition to their childrens needs and problems here in Australia. All of these things while studying and working.

Allow me to find the study link Dane.
