What do people mean when they say "men and women aren't equal"?

[straightmax12]

[normalice]

There are physical differences and probably mental ones, too (of course that is redundant as the brain is also a physical object).

And not to derail anything but it does seem worth noting that the sort of people who would drool in euphoria over the suggestion that there might be mental differences between men and women tend to be the same sort of people who foam at the mouth in rage when you suggest that a woman should be defined as anything other than "not born with a penis."

[Anonymous]

They mean that..

Men are more like to: CHEAT

Men are more like to: RAPE

Men are more like to: STEAL

Men are more like to: KILL

Men are more like to: ABANDON THEIR OWN CHILD

Men are more like to: CREATE SINGLE MOTHERS

Men are more like to: COMMIT CRIME

Men are more like to: CARRY STD

Men are more like to: RAPE CHILD

Men are more like to: MOLEST

Men are more like to: HARASS

…….

.

[Adam1978]

You got most of those wrong. There is more women that cheat then men. Men don't abandon their kids they abondon the mother and there is always a reason for that. Stop claiming women are innocent here, if you pick a deadbeat you get the results of a deadbeat. You need to secure commitment before you start a family. And then you got family court who is the main reason for single mothers and kids without fathers. There you got inequality.

@Adam1978
And how are we supposed to sniff out a deadbeat? Huh? Dad?
How are we? Huh? Psychiatrist?
Are women magicians?
Do we need to summon our mindreading abilities. 🦸🏻‍♀️
Do we have to do voodoo?
Do we need to become hackers?

WTF LOL

[Adam1978]

It's very easy to spot a deadbeat. If you actually spent any time with them. That's what dating is about getting to know a person and their habits and actions. I wouldn't expect you to know day one, unless it's a really obvious case.

[Opinion Owner]

@Adam1978
Oh so now you’re saying
DO IN FACT DATE AND SLEEP WITH DEADBEATS. In order to know them.

LMAOOO 😂😂😂😂😂 you clowns are too funny

[Adam1978]

No I never said sleep with them. I say that every guy must go through a long relationship before there is kids involved. And if you haven't spotted that he is deadbeat by then you are blind. You shouldn't get any children until you lived together for months. And if he doesn't do the household work before, he will certainly not do it after.

[Yannishka]

AHAAA HAHA😂👍

[Opinion Owner]

@Adam1978
LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂
You do know that men can act right. They can look like nice, ugly nerd. And still be an evil misogynistic deadbeat. Right?

[Adam1978]

Anyone that acts will slip up if you actually let time go. It's easy to fake a day or two but you can't fake for months. And that why actions are more important than words.

[more_than_a_guy]

Let me guess, a man hurt you before, so now you blame the whole gender.

[Opinion Owner]

@more_than_a_guy
Nope! I speaking facts 🤷🏻‍♀️
Too bad you don’t like it 🫵😂

[Adam1978]

You speak obvious lies. Not facts.

[Opinion Owner]

@Adam1978
So you really want to pull statistics on the following? 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Men are more likely to: CHEAT
Men are more likely to: RAPE
Men are more likely to: STEAL
Men are more likely to: KILL
Men are more likely to: ABANDON THEIR OWN CHILD
Men are more likely to: CREATE SINGLE MOTHERS
Men are more likely to: COMMIT CRIME
Men are more likely to: CARRY STD
Men are more likely to: RAPE CHILD
Men are more likely to: MOLEST
Men are more likely to: HARASS
…….
You really want to loose? 🤡🤡🤡

[Adam1978]

Statistics aren't truth, you should know that much, they are always biased and cherry picked and very regional. So you won't prove anything that applies globally.

[Opinion Owner]

@Adam1978
Oh…… so now statistics aren’t studied and aren’t scientific.
OK BUDDY. 🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼😂😂😂

[Adam1978]

The statistics alone no, it must have the data and like I said no statistics are global when it comes to this. I can dictate a statistics that says the complete opposite if I just pick the right data source. So you posting your favorite take means nothing. So if you want high std among men you look in the gay community or among the drug addicts. If you pick another group of people you could find women dominating. Every selection has a bias.

[Spongebobssocks]

They mean we are not the same. Because equal means the same.

[razelove]

Literally that, if it wasn't the case why would there be alimony, child support, penises, vaginas, paternity testing...

Extending that into the job market there are literally different standards for male and female military, first responders (police, fire department, EMS is 2/3 male), basically all jobs that don't require a degree you'll be more successful in as a guy over time on average.

Sign women up for the draft if we're equal.

[hahahmm]

They mean that when a feminist claims men & women are equal she knows she's lying. If she really believed it then she'd have no problem with women living by the same rules as men. For example, if a man mouths off and says the wrong word to another man he will get punched in the mouth or worse. Women get a pass because they're seen as physically weaker BUT no such pass is given to a man even if he is much weaker than the guy he's talking to. To be truly equal we would need to live by the same rules, have the same responsibilities & obligations.

Feminists want all of the benefits but none of the not so fun stuff.

[hahahmm]

I would argue that women were closer to being equal in the past BECAUSE they didn't get a pass if they said the wrong thing. They got treated just like dudes if they decided to act like a dude.

[hahahmm]

And the funny thing is that today's average woman is weaker than they used to be too. In the past if a man was inappropriate towards a woman she'd slap the hell out of him. Today's women are super meek. They would say nothing and then go #metoo a tweet 5 years later.

[Raaj4you]

Naturally, men and women are not equal. But we are trying to make it equal to stop atrocities against one gender. This is why feminism came into picture. Unfortunately, feminism has taken a wrong turn.

In India, we have National commission for women and have many women protection laws but sadly there are no laws to protect men. Indian suicide stats show that more men 72% committed suicide than women 27%. We are witnessing huge number of false cases against men. Women are misusing laws against men. Government of India is planning to launch National commission for Men and enforce men protection laws.

[AviatorTom]

Equal means same. Men and women are not the same, never have been, never will be. If they were the same, there would only be men, or women, not both.

Saying men and women are not equal is not bad, though, which is what many people think. Men and women (should) have equal rights and opportunities, and that's what's really important.

[bolverk]

It means that they are physically not equal, and any woman who insists that they are is completely out of her tree.

Women & Men are of equal value, but wildly different by nature. We compliment each other, but with a space in the middle where we can have similar skills

[Meropatrick]

I believe that men and women complete eachothers not equal. A man can never take the place of a woman. And vice versa. They r like fire and water. Not the same but both have a purpose. One can't replace the other. They r not equal. But both are important.

[RingOfFire]

Most words can be used to have a broad range of meanings. The word "equal" fits that category. So in the context you asked about it is impossible to say what people mean since different people may mean different things.

As has been mentioned, men and women are not the same. So if the person uses the word equal in to mean that men and women are the same they are factually incorrect.

[RingOfFire]

Replace "the same" in the above with the word "identical." That is the word I should have used.

[genericname85]

because outside of "woke sjw circles", being equal means being the same or at least very similar. and women are very different from men. that's an absolutely non judgmental statement. everyone who calims men and women aren't different is a deluded moron who lost touch with reality.

[Counterclocking]

Well it has nothing to do with sexism.

Men and women are built differently. Men have penises and women have vaginas. Women also have breasts and men don’t. Men have more muscle mass than women. Men are expected to be stronger but that doesn’t mean women are always weak.

[BigRed1987]

Depends on the context. Some foolishly believe in the gender wage gap myth, which has been debunked time and time again.
Some say it physically, men are on average 50% stronger than women, are generally better with directions and navigation. Women are better nurturers, are significantly more flexible than men, and have wider groin bones to support giving birth.


There are many, many more differences as well, men and women are vastly different, but that’s okay.

[RyanK9b]

• We search for different things in life.
• We searching different traits in the opposite sex.
• Our priorities are different.
• Each sex can handle certain life situation better than the other
• Different mind approach

[jennifer_bloom]

I think men and women are equally valuable but the man might have more power or leadership or financial obligation then the women. But any inequality in a relationship must be mutually agreed upon and not gained through force or coercion.

[grega239]

Equally valuable on in the moral sense

[inhua]

men and women are "equal" on paper but that's not the case when put into practice

don't believe me? see for yourself

[dearryy]

Those people that say that are usually carnal minded. Men and women are equal in the sense we’re all human and we all fall short, make bad choices and mistakes that lead to consequences that in return, because we choose to not self reflect, we act out in anger, pride, competition (Men vs women), hate and the list goes on and so we forget that when or if we were to look past what we see with our eyes we’re all the same.

[Anonymous]

when womans will work in the same harsh industrys as mens then to prostituate we can talk about equal rights.
Mining
Construction
dustman
Ecological toilet cleaner
Oil refineries
Car mechanics
etc. industries in which girls do not want to work and cannot because of their poor physical condition or certain sensitivities related to disgust.

[Ciel7889]

No matter what, they are getting judged anyway. In every aspect that includes physical fitness, education, achievement or mutual rights.

[tzdc21]

They mean we are not the same. From a human being perspective, we are equal. But in terms of how we move, how we think, how we operate, how we talk, we are not the same.

[Billlewis]

I think they mean exactly what the phrase describes -- that women are superior to men and should therefore be treated accordingly.

[DermalPunch]

Because they aren't the same. Men excel women in certain things and women excel men in other's.

[Anonymous]

I'm reminded of the quote:

"Feminism is the belief that men and women are the same but women are better. The reality is the opposite: men and women are different and neither are better."

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

They are just talking ish. Men and women aren't equally terms of our private parts and in our physical strength because of different muscle mass and bone structures, besides that men and women are equally since woman originate from a man.

[slatyb]

They mean that there are more boy babies but more women than men.

[Ms_Facesitter]

That we are not the same. And hopefully also that we compliment each other.

[SolitarySolace]

We’re equal in terms of the law (or should be because women still get special privileges) but we have implicit differences societally

[msc545]

Men and women are not equal in many ways. For instance, women get preferential treatment by the legal system and men get fucked by that system in the US.

[mattclark242]

men are biger than women and it not fair I guss

[Dargil]

Men and women are differently enabled, physically, intellectually and emotionally.

[Mallic00]

Here's what i say you want me to treat you as an equal you admit that you are physically weaker then me, less emotionally stable, and need to be protected and provided for... in what world does that make you my equal?

[Mewzinc]

That's some reverse psychology right there

[imawfulatusernames]

That we should have equal opportunities no one is denying women out do women in various roles and visa vera.

[Luopio27]

Maybe it refers to something specific like getting a hook up in tinder. For girls, its easier so that makes it harder for boys.

[Christoff92]

Me Tarzan. You Jane 😏

[heavymetalbrotha]

Physically I'd guess there's no women I legit see as a threat or even intimidating so same applies to female traits I wouldn't even attempt to match.

[Anonymous]

They aren't supposed to be. Men are supposed to do the things that women can't and women are supposed to do the things that men can't. We are supposed to compliment eachother.

[John_Doesnt]

2+2 and 3+1 both equal 4 but they are not exactly the same.

[captain_voidwalker]

It means that a 210lb man is just going to be stronger than a 110lb woman. It's not sexism it's physics at that point.

[Deserter]

That we aren't the same, we have different strengths and weaknesses, think differently, are treated differently

[mommymommymommy]

Different sexes get to do different things, because they're THAT sex

[Quigly]

Saying men and woman are different is not saying they aren't equal.

[whistlingwh0res]

We all eat the same poop the same, sleep the same, love the same, hate the same

[Blueeyes81]

That missing coma made me chuckle.

[Adam1978]

I would claim that we don't love or hate the same. Otherwise we wouldn't have so different preferences.

[WhiteBoyChill]

That they aren’t the exact same. Its not meant to be an attack on women

[Yannishka]

That we are not built and treated the same way.

[Mansearching]

They're shovenistic

[gothbxtch]

they mean that they’re sexist.

[LiamJHayden]

Which people and in what context?

[Fuentes]

Werr not the same at all

[Reorx]

That we are biologically different.

[grega239]

Physically, mentally emitionally socially.

[In_Trance]

it means you need to ask for further details

[Anonymous]

Physically mostly, men are usually stronger

[WhitneySnow]

Sexism

[fonduegirl]

Sexist.

[The1and0nly530]

Science probably
