When you say we're not equal, enjoy your little fantasy, because you'll be doing it alone, not in the company of women.

I just wouldn't have worded it with the words "not equal" in the beginning of it.
Surely we're a little more similar than apples and oranges too? The differences in the brain wiring that exists between men and women was to ensure that unbalanced systems didn't evolve. We were to blend these differences and create systems of both creativity, achievement, advancement and cooperative, civilized social solutions. Unfortunately instead of blending it, the rulers have always used all the differences between different races, nations, territories and sexes to separate us and keep us divided and either at odds with each other, or whole segments of society suppressed.

Angry woman is angry. Keep in mind that plenty of men with a girl friend or a wife think of women as inferior and tell them that anytime the debate is raised. It really doesn't change the relationship that much as long as the woman can just ignore that and as long as the man isn't a complete tool.

Yes, well we girls do tend to notice when our friends are in bad relationships and always encourage change. What you said about men telling thinking or telling their partners that is very sad, and no woman, or man for that matter because sometiems its the other way, should be enduring verbal, emotional, economic, or physical abuse in any way.

I believe I said that equality is an absolute mathematical statement that is a tad childish to attempt to apply to two things as different as men and women.
Are the wind and the water equal?
Is the fire and the earth equal?
The term "Equality" is a misnomer when used to describe apples and oranges.

moms still instill values in their children. the problem is the media has a different idea of what values are in the first place. we tell our kids, don't have sex before marriage. tv, movies, books, and music, tell them differently. you can barely fight a social norm. the pressure is too immense, and they deliberately target them while they are still so full of themselves, that they think their old folks are just out of touch with reality
