Are men and women equal?

Question

Or is one of the genders superior to the other?

VanillaSalt · Accepted Answer

I hate the word equality. People aren’t equal. Men and women sure as hell arnt equal... Men can’t have babies... Women will never be a majority of hard/dangerous/long hour jobs. Feminism has been bastardized and now has ruined the idea of dating for me. My blood boils when I see that word anymore. It’s like a festering wound poisoning the body and mind. One bad apple rotting the whole batch.

I like the idea of gender rolls. I’m ok with my rolls and being the protector/earner. If I’m ok being the one to check on the crash at night to kill the spider (fuck that 8legged bastard) to work 80 hours a week... I do expect you to support and honor me and make me feel like a man. That’s the only way relationships will benefit men.

Women get everything out of relationships these days. They control the initiation the money the sex the freedom... unless a woman is support then what’s the point if we can do it on our own...

This only shows equality in terms of the relationship but it shows off much more power women have in the home and thus in society. Overall it balances when men and women need each other but in an individual trait scale no we’re not.

He’ll all women aren’t equal how do you expect men and women to be. Especially when you look at such specific traits like income, respect, relationship power, and especially movements.

Let say both are equal, I know it's not practically true. But let's just assume for a moment. ( let's be politically correct! )

Can women fight wars like men? Well Theatrically they can! but practically? Yes now we have women as well in the military and other forces. So yes! They can. But It's mostly done by men.

Can men give birth to a child?

You'll need a woman to make a man. But that woman need a man's sperm to form an another man or woman. So we need both, hence though indirectly a man is contributing to the formation of a baby.
But practically the credit will go to the woman because she is the one who is carrying it bringing it to the world.

There are things which can be done by both but Few things are gender exclusive.

So both should be respected equally.

Now let's come to the harsh reality. A Man is considered superior in a society because he is the one who earns living for the family. ( I'm not denying women can't do that, I'm just telling you about society's perception ).

But according to me, both should be respected equally.

I said both!

SwanHale · Accepted Answer

Men are superior. But WAIT, feminists before you respond, let me explain. So we obviously both have equal rights and have for a while. But in the sense of being able to DO more men take it. EXAMPLE - physically able to work and do more, able to produce more children with MUCH less effort and many more women (hense why families usually wanted boys over girls hundreds of years ago), they also take the jobs NO WOMEN take or are able to do. (sewer jobs, construction, most engineering jobs, power plant jobs, oil rig jobs, etc.), and very last thing every single building you’ve ever seen, every roadway, was built by 99.9% men. And i am willing to give credit where credit is due! But just remember, as women... they wouldn’t have been able to do any of that without our support, nurturing, and love. Cause deep down men need women’s love and care or they can’t function. Men can offer other men that... their pride gets in the way. So no need to be defensive we are equal in our OWN ways. And god made it like that for a reason. Women need men for their strength and providing and men need women for their care and nurturing.

No  TWO  people are the same/equal... Some men are  physically stronger  than other men.. Woman give birth, but  Not  a ll  females are able to bear children..  But we are  ALL EQUALLY  human This who's the superior sex is just such a ridiculous thing to be squabbling like children about. Isn't that the whole point of being in a relationship Man+Woman=the best if both...

Suziedicostah · Answer

Answer to this question can be given perfectly, authentically, truly and will be trustworthy only if it is asked to the children whose parents are separated and because of that the children are facing the absence of mother or father in their life...
I think this question is totally meaningless. We the humans are designed and programmed by nature, and we should be happy with that. We should accept that. Whichever gender is yours; understand yourself, discover yourself.
Try to discover your boundaries, try to expand your aura, try to go beyond the boundaries, try to discover and enhance your inner strength. Believe yourself, who will stop you?
Also understanding and admiring the opposite gender won't damage you by any means.
Once this is done these kind of questions will get vanished. And the world will become peaceful... Believe or not...

Sapioit · Answer

Men and women are not equal, but they balance out by being partially equal and partially complementary.

For example, girls are better at seeing more colors or color differences, while guys are better at tracking moving things. Because for most of our mainstream history as humans, women have to look after children, where tiny differences in colors can make a difference, while men tend to work with machinery more and in the past hunted more, where tracking moving things was significantly beneficial.

RingOfFire · Answer

Depends on how you define equal.

If you define it as being equally as good at all tasks then no, they are not equal. Men are better at some things, women are better at others. Men are physically and mentally designed to be better some tasks and women are physically and mentally designed to be better at others.

If you define equal as that both men and women are equally important to the continuation of the human race, then yes, they are probably equal since we could not survive without both.

Men and women may be "equal" in that respect, but they are not interchangeable and they are not the SAME.

bluetoblack99 · Answer

This is extremely complicated. I’m getting sick of people trying to oversimplify this into marches and slogans.

I could give a full list of all the horrible unchecked disadvantages that men have to deal with but it would be a word wall.

My advice to first seek to understand before expecting to be understood. If you want protest inequality than first interview the AVERAGE male counterpart to get a feel for what his life is really like. Then you can bring up your own issues. But f*cking listen to us for once. There is reason why we have 4 times the suicide rate and shorter lifespans.

DSimus · Answer

Not voting. This is a loaded topic. What exactly are we comparing? Legal rights and opportunity? Yes, they are equal.

Are we talking equality in sports? Video games? STEM? Fashion? Pediatrics? Pharmacy? Trade labor? Onlyfans accounts?

There's so much difference in the genders that it's impossible to quantify. Women have their specialties, men have theirs. Each is needed in a family, society and culture.

Daniel3035 · Answer

The harsh truth is men biologically have everything a woman has even a type of womb + more biology says men were like an upgraded version of women essentially. It is very strange as well among lions females are actually superior faster and just as strong men a bit stronger but strength doesn't = superior.
Men, on the other hand, it's basically everything a woman has but more.
A lot of people are saying equal but that's the biased answer that's the answer society wants and has brought people up to say. I don't do that I tell the brutal honest truth and the harsh reality is men in a majority would be regarded as superior. Although it is worth noting females surpass males in other areas but when looking at them in importance for survival etc they're more commodities then survival mechanics.

HeadCase1 · Answer

Men and women are equal. However, each is not the same.

Besides the obvious biological difference, men and women think differently. Their brains do not process things the same. Current day feminism has attempted to shape women into something other than who and what they are. I find that offensive. And most women do to.

Having said that, the concept of being "trans" degrades what women truly are. A person with a penis who claims to be female is still male. Ask any high school or college girl athelete if it it's fair for them to be forced to compete against a person with male anatomy.

Underworld158 · Answer

I won't use the word superior as it implies some kind of entitlement. But we can't deny scientifically that women are much much physically weaker than men. men are mentally and emotionally tougher than women. Can handle much more stress. Men also fall high on the higher spectrum of IQs. Women aren’t stupid but men have higher thinking skills on average. These traits makes men even more confident to succeed

jgokgotit · Answer

Equal and equitable are two different things. Equal means the same. Equitable means same value but there are differences. Men and women are not equal. We simply do not possess the exact same level in ALL abilities. However, we do have equivalent value that, when all factored together, give us equitable value.

jshm2 · Answer

No. Simple biology tells you they are not equal.

One carries babies, the other can't. One produces excess hormones which can make the human body go beyond it's limit - the other can't. etc etc.

It's not a matter of one or the other though- it takes both. Which is the paradox of human civilisation. Despite the fact 70% of history has been driven by males. Most would not be possible without that other 30% done by females.

AnnaJuist · Answer

I think this is an unfair question...
"Superior" In what way?
Physically...(Most) Men are probably superior to (Most) women...
Mentally... Both sexes are likely to be equal (Maybe a slight advantage towards women, in certain categories)
There are some things that women are probably more superior to (most) men... Like child rearing, budgeting home finances, etc.
Then there are things that men are probably better suited for then women... such as car repair, building...(due to strength) [Although I can change a tire, spark-plugs & oil. I can also change brake pads... The more heavier/harder stuff I leave to qualified men] 😉

Silver158 · Answer

people would say we're equal in terms of legal rights and responsibilities but this simply isn't true with divorce law being skewed in favour of women and women receiving lesser sentences (if any) in terms of crimes which are similar to those committed by men.

As for physical traits, we're not equal there either as both have their pros and cons, men are stronger, women can give birth etc.

Society wise, still not equal as both constantly go on about how the other gender oppresses them. It's quite funny to watch tbh

WindAtMyBack · Answer

Men and men are not even equal, let along men and women. It's just not possible unless everyone is a clone.

None of those poll answers are valid. Being unequal is not the same as one being superior over the other.

There are very good evolutionary reasons why they are not equal. That's why all but the lowest forms of life have two sexes. It's a tremendous advantage having two sexes.

Anonymous · Answer

Equally value before God. A man and woman come together to make one person in marriage. Men and women have different strengths and weaknesses. Respecting those differences will only add to unity and strengthen the marriage. Married men and women have different callings than single people. There are general differences, but you'll find exceptions to a lot. But generally men are stronger, the strongest man is stronger than the strongest woman, but I'm weaker than both. The Fastest man is the fastest human. However, these are male centric evaluations, their are things females evaluate females on. I'm well aware of my strengths and weaknesses that I cannot claim absolute superiority, neither will my mate. Men and women compliment each other and physically complete each other.

bigmisssunshine · Answer

Men and women aren’t equal because our bodies don’t work the same way, but one gender isn’t superior over the other 🤷🏻‍♀️ We all have our qualities I think

_Lynx · Answer

There is fairness, and fairness does not necessarily mean exact quality. They are made / created in different ways, so it would be unjust or unfair to equally treat or give them.

So life is fair towards them, not necessarily equal. As in, equal overall, but not in details.

In my humble opinion

jarofawesome · Answer

As human beings with unique thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Yes we are equal. As individual beings we both have the same potential, though not always the predisposition to be intelligent, stupid, creative, chaotic, empathetic, unemotional, strong (to an extent), weak, fat, thin as anyone else. Our biological gender just happens to influence what we may or may not be more inclined to be better at.

DavidDong · Answer

Like careers it's all about interests, men tend towards engineering and that. While women, not so much.

Also men tend to be mentally stronger and physically stronger.

In terms of mental capacity to learn and that we are equal I believe.

And in the modern world it's the head that makes the world turn.

JDavid25 · Answer

Yes we are equal.. Equal in the way that we each contribute equally to the world in different ways.. Men and women are meant to compliment each other for what each other lacks.. Society today wants men and women to measure against each other when that's not the way it should be simply because we both lack things each other has.. So yes we are equal..

0210RTT · Answer

I believe that men are more superior than women in life. I feel women are not always treated equal. I pray one day everybody will be equal in life. I do not think I will see it in my life time. Thank you, R. T. T.

Anonymous · Answer

It's complicated. Biologically, men by default have the advantage of never dealing with periods, pregnancy, or the like. So it's likelier that they can be "superior" if they want to. Of course, not all girls are as affected by periods as others, but guys have zero chance of its effects period, so it's what increases that "superiority" likeliness. Likely though, does NOT mean full yes and no, it's INCREASED CHANCE is all. Don't fuckin take it outta context!

apollo3000 · Answer

Not in any meaningful way. Men are stronger, and generally the security providers. Women are weaker and gentler, and generally capable of understanding, sensing, emotional dynamics, quicker and to more detail.
You play for 'girls' - or you play for yourself - you can only have one husband/guy - we make each other happy - or we don't.

Conspiracy_Theorist · Answer

Completely equal? No, think of it like this, women can be Navy SEALs, but they will never be as big as a male Navy SEALs, get the point?

Women can be fit but they will lack the raging testosterone like the Male Navy SEAL has which keeps the men going, Even the two Female SEALs have stated this.

Women can succeed side by side men but they will both lack certain things that the other doesn’t have.

insatiable_curiosity · Answer

I agree upon the distinction that the bodies of men and women are not the same, but this is irrelevant with respect to superiority/inferiority, especially with regard to inaccurate blanket generalizations and oversimplifications.

SuccessfulHornDog · Answer

Overall we bring different things to the table and I feel that is by design and we are made to complement each other. When you get to the level of specific skills you can make claims about which gender is better or worse at the specific skill but are any of us defined by one specific skill or trait? I'm not I am defined by many skills, thoughts, actions and beliefs.

Furuok · Answer

In every way but comedy. Where the man has muscle the woman has feelings. Some men aren't strong enough but we try. Those women who care for nothing would just rather be rich. The common ground is fine for the lucky in love but those who are lonely eventually realize it's ment to be.

Men and women are built differently, from their bodies to their brains. We are not the same, however neither is superior to the other as both men and women play a function in society

MrMilti · Answer

In some things, men are superior and in other things, women are superior.

That's why nature and evolution developed the two sexes, to be superior in their respective own fields, for the advantage of the whole species.

Equal in most ways that matter. No two humans are exactly the same but the way we should treat people should be equal by default.

YHL6965 · Answer

I don't think we are equal, I think we are better at different things and so we complete each other. I don't believe there is superiority personally and I don't even see the point of saying one is superior to the other.

No. What is "equality" anyways? Stop demanding for more stuff. Just be happy with what you have.

They aren't equal and neither is superior. That is like saying black is superior to white or a side of a cpin is superior to the other. Men are women are 2 sides of the same coin.
