Gender (In)Equality.

[The Jester]

Got a question and I need a few responses.

Your feelings towards gender inequality, is it a myth or is it true, either way how does it affect society? (IN a political way, in a financial way, etc.)

A.Gender Equality is true, genders are equal.
B.Gender Equality is false, genders are not equal.
C.There is a lot of gender equality, but there is some gender inequality that shouldn't exist.
D. There is a lot of gender equality, but there is some gender inequality because of how genders are different and should exist.

Please post with as much detail and would love any data/stats you have.

Also,DO NOT START A FIGHT

This is for a project and I need to see the reviews, responses, and statistics of people, not a bunch of bored idiots wanting to start a fight.
So for the sake of the threat, for the sake of my project, and for the sake of peace and making mod's lives easiers,.

No fighting, please! Just respectable answers, if you want to debate, then -debate- kindly and PREFERABLY in private messages.

You talking about just gender, man and woman, or equating sexuality into it too?

Man and Woman, nothing too deep

I don't know what you're asking. Are you asking if there's differences in certain abilities? Quite obviously, there are. Are you asking if there's societal inequities? Again, quite obviously, there are. A combination of biological differences and a long, long history of cultural differences more or less ensures that it will remain so.

More or less agree with Spectral on all points. so in short I would have to go with

D. There is a lot of gender equality, but there is some gender inequality because of how genders are different and should exist.

Sexual dimorphism is a phenotypic difference between males and females of the same species, meaning that there are obvious differences between the male and female of the species. Examples include differences in morphology, size, ornamentation and behavior.

Can we please not? These kinds of threads always boil down to the same old Tumblrist/YouTube war, with Social Justice Warriors and those who oppose them. Like Religious debates, nothing good ever comes from it on this forum.

[LilSaihah]

Define: gender equality

Are men and women equal? Nope. Just gotta look at them to figure that one out.
Should men and women be considered equal in the eyes of the law? Yeah.

So uh, D or C I suppose.

Yeah this is probably true.

I think that gender inequality and sexism lie at the core of many many many social and cultural issues that are not being addressed atm. Big topic of the future! but first we have to deal with male homosexuality and even still racism.

[Cephilia]

I believe women and men should be as equal they can be taking in to account the fact they cannot be the same. They could be more equal then they are now, but perfect equalism is impossible.

[Imnick]

Men and Women are not currently considered equal and should be and even if they were, the construction of this topic still points at gender inequality because it considers gender as a binary switch rather than an entirely fluid construct that some people exist between or outside of

I give zero fucks about these very special snowflakes. I'm happy to acknowledge the gender of a trans person as whatever they tell me it is, but as soon as someone starts in with the, "I don't have just one gender" routine, they can fuck right off.

[checking facts]

gender equality is false. gender equivalence is true.

a man is not equal to a woman, but they are both equally valuable.

for instance, if I have a baby, I'll be on a break from work for a few days. meanwhile, the woman I had a baby with will get to spend a few months away from work. not equal. before that, she has to carry the baby for 9 months and finally give birth. I don't. not equal. she can breastfeed the baby, I can't. not equal.

however, none of that makes me more or less valuable than her. we both have our roles to play in this world. we are equivalent.

If it goes that bad, I'll ask a mod to kindly close it.

However, I asked everyone to refrain from fighting and I expect everyone here is old enough and mature enough.

You should probably do the research yourself instead of having people do it for you. I'm sure that is what your teacher is expecting.

Are you talking about transgender or hermaphrodites?

[Pandaemonium]

As a woman, I don't believe that women and men are necessarily equal, however, I feel that if they perform similarly they should be rewarded as equals. If a woman performs the identical task to a man, then she should be compensated as he would be. She shouldn't be denied advancements and opportunities.

Now, with that said, I feel sometimes that women use sexuality to get ahead. If they've used sexuality to get ahead, and men haven't, how are they more entitled or even equally entitled? They're not. Using sex as a weapon, or tool of advancement is classless. If you're willing to throw your snatch around for career advancement, then perhaps you're only proving that you do belong home in the kitchen. With that said, I don't think it's acceptable for men to promise advancements based on a woman's sexual performance, or how she dresses.

Now, on the home front. I don't believe that 'this is a womans work' or 'this is a mans work'. People should perform the role that they are best suited for. Maybe he's a better cook than her. Maybe she enjoys cutting the grass. Maybe she wants to leave the kids at home and be the best that she can be at the office and he wants to take care of the kids. Whatever makes them happy as a couple because successful relationships are partnerships.

Similar, yet different.

One gender may have an alleviated strength in one area, and vice versa.

I see no reason why there shouldn't be legal and societal equality between people, be it gender, sexuality, or "Race".

People just need to be nicer

[Dezerte]

Mostly 'D' I guess.

Equality must be determined based on the specific individuals situation.
