Question:
Do women really want equality?

It appears that women want to have all of the things that men have, including an equal number of upper management jobs. Why is it that they only choose the good things and not the bad things?

Here is what they will need to do to gain equality:

Commit suicide at 4-5 times their current rate. Men are way ahead in this area so women will need to step up their act if they want to be equal.

Find guys who have fallen on hard times, are unemployed, and need someone to give them a break, a house, a new job opportunity etc. Currently only men "rescue" women, and not the other way around. When I fall on hard times and some woman comes and pays for everything and sets up a new job for me, etc, I will consider your application for equality.

Quit your cozy little "customer service" jobs and go work in a coal mine doing hard labour all day rather than updating your status on facebook while the boss isn't looking.

Spend your days asking men out and being rejected in an unpolite fashion.

Work while the men sit at home playing with the kids.

Work much longer than you are now. Currently men work almost twice as many hours as women (not including housework). We will clean the sink while you work in the pressure cooker corporate landscape engaging in highstakes mergers.

Any takers?

Oh my, you are so far off.





First, perhaps women do not commit suicide as easily as men, due to our ability to handle more, emotionally and mentally.



Second, I see lazy *** men being "rescued" by women everyday.



Third, I hold a typical "man's" position. I rose above all the men, of my own merits. Of course, they resent me for it, and like to gossip that I slept my way to the top. Some men just can't handle taking their orders from a woman. I have worked in a diamond mine, as well as a silver mine. I have a certificate in Arc Welding. I have held many labourous jobs.



Oh yes, I have asked out my fair share of men too. Oddly enough, no rejection, as they all said yes.



My husband is Mr. Mom. I work four 14 hour a day shifts. and one 10 hour.



I think you must be just a tad bitter, because a woman landed the promotion you coveted. Get off your high horse. There isn't anything a man can do, that I can't do just as well, or better. I can even pee standing up, so what have you got to say now.

Your question smacks of bitterness...

My brother and his wife have been married for 10 years. They have what I consider to be an equal relationship because she runs her own business - a garden/landscaping service with 20 staff members all alone and yet, she also does a lot for their 2 kids as well and is a real lady.

My brother was unemployed for a while and looked after the kids, renovated their house while she worked and now he is back at work full time earning as much as she is.

I know exactly what you mean and I sometimes feel like slapping women out there who expect only the nice things.

Yes, me. I'm not so good about cooking and house works. I can work and spend my money on you, you just play with the kids if that is what you want.



Man, men and women are both like 2 wings to the bird, the bird can never fly with one. We complete each other. I can never have muscles like you, you do the hard jobs because we are more soft than you are. Anyway i agree i work and you stay at home, cook, clean and take care of the kids, are you serious now?

I don't agree with that, but if women want equal rights, that means she has to go to jail if she punches me in the face. Better now? "Aslo, did you know that companies are hesitant to hire some women of certain ages bc they may get pregnant and leave for a few months." That has nothing to do with prejudice. Women do get pregnant, obviously, and it is a pain in the *** to not know if your CEO will take a maternity leave right when your company is in the middle of a crisis.

Actually, my boyfriend can do a lot of his work from home, so if we ever have kids I would love it if he stayed at home. He's a better cook than me too, he'd have to be the parent that stayed at home to make sure the kids weren't malnourished.



And I'd rather stab myself in the eye than spend my entire working life in an office.



As for the suicide thing, perhaps if we had proper equality and the pressure wasn't on men so much to feel like they have to provide everything, men would kill themselves less. Surely to be equal in terms of suicides it's better to have less men dying than more women to make things even?

Good points but you forget about the mandatory registration for the draft that all US males must face or else. And how about the next war only women go fight to protect us males while we men keep the mill running? Til this happens, shut up with your lies.



Don't just claim that we men start the wars, the rich men start it and profit while many die.





How about affirmative action which discriminates against only males, white males in fact. When our women attempt to end this discrimination against their own counterparts then they will appear to want equality and justice, til then, shut up with those lies.



When women allow men to jump the life boats first in the major travel disasters then we will believe women truly want equality, til then, shut up with those lies.



When women start opening doors for men in mass, helping men fix their flats tires, risk their necks to rescue men in burning buildings regularly, showing respect to men everywhere an stop being

rude and hateful then and only then we will believe women truly desire equality. Til then, shut up with your lies.
