Women are inferior to men in every way, so why should they be treated equally?

I agree & disagree with you. I think there are things men are better at than women, & if a man is more qualified to do a certain job, he should get the job. But you are really belittling women by saying they are not as creative & emotionally intelligent as men. There are tons of famous female poets: Emily Dickenson (my personal hero), Anne Bradstreet (another hero of mine), Alice Walker, Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, Anne Sexton, Christina Rossetti, Gertrude Stein, Rita Dove, Gwendolyn Brooks, & the list goes on. As a female poet, I take great offense to your comment. Also, I think one of the most gifted & talented writers of all time is a female, J. K. Rowling. Everyone has their own person taste, but I personally am in awe of J. K. Rowling & her extreme talent, & have always thought she was a better writer than Shakespeare himself. Again, that is my opinion, if you like Shakespeare better, that is your right. But it is wrong of you to take away from the fact that women are talented in this area just because you do not appreciate their art. As for intelligence, I think men & women are equal in their intelligence. Yes, you can argue that they're more reveled scientist in the past, like Einstein, etc., but you have to keep in mind that women in the past could not become scientist. This site lists some of the most intelligent women through history: www.eoht.info/.../IQ%3A+150%2B+%7C+Smartest+woman+ever

As for men being more physically strong, taller, I will give you that, as that is in their biology. But to deny women the right to vote & have a job is very wrong. If you take that away from women, you are destining women who cannot get a husband or who are left by their husbands to dying on the streets. A woman, like any other human being, should have the right to have a job & support herself. If a job requires someone to be physically fit & strong, then I would not argue with you that a man should get the job if he is more qualified.

Eh, obvious troll is obvious. But I'm bored so I'll humour you.

Queen Elizabeth the 1st- pretty powerful woman, pretty powerful country. Not to mention Margaret Thatcher who, while being a Tori bastard, brought us out of the last recession.

Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, the Brontes... all brilliant writers who overcame the patriarchy to get their work recognised.

There were plenty of woman musicians throughout history, the problem was that historians didn't write about them. Fanny Mendelssohn, Felix Mendelssohn's sister, for example- he actually admitted that she was the superior pianist, but her whole family thought it was inappropriate for a woman to have a career in music, so they stifled her. Clara Schumann, married to the famous composer Robert Schumann, was one of the most distinguished pianists of the romantic era. She had to juggle concerts with looking after her kids and her husband who slowly went mad. Ethel Smyth, Louise Farrenc... here's a list of the documented ones: link

This is still happening today. I studied a module called Music since 1945 for a whole year, and we studied one woman composer. ONE. It's not because women composers don't exist, in many ways I am one. We're just ignored by historians and people teaching the subject.

As for men being superior fighters, it is true that it's easier for men to develop muscle. But there is another factor at play in this issue; what do you think when you see this picture:

Gross? Steriods? Unfeminine? Ugly? Maybe you even feel a little bit threatened? It's socially unacceptable for a woman to look like that, so pro-wrestling and other sports that require a lot of muscle just aren't attractive to many women. It certainly wouldn't have been acceptable for a woman to fight pre-1960 or 70.

Had your fill of attention yet?

societies standards and patterns have changed tremendously since the time of many of the people listed above (einstein, shakespeare, mozart, even ali). all those fields USED to be dominated by men, but recent studies show that for every 2 men that graduate college, there are 3 women. and it is quite difficult to be successful in this world without an education. there are many professional women sport leagues that are on the rise as well. not to mention hilary clinton running to rule one of the most powerful nations in the world (sure, she didn't succeed but there are more elections to come). also it has officially been reported that 51.4% of manager positions in the US are held by women. looks like men are the weaker sex professionally, and in our day and age one profession is equal to ones pwer in the world. women were never given the opportunity to exhibit their abilities because of resraints placed by society in earlier generations. now that society is more open and allowing toward female success, women can finally show what theyre made of
