They av said it all and its been insightful.
Bt in addition..

Y do we xpect Men to make marriage proposal?
Y do we c a man as infidel if e isnt providing for his family?
Y r d men xpected to engage in hard labour whilst d ladies sort for milder works?
Wot prompt d comon saying ' be a Man'?
Y is ur country called fatherland?

Dnt forget d biological factor either..
We can only preach and get GENDER EQUITY bt Gender Equality? Never! I say Neva !

Dont mistake Equity and Justice as regards to females' right in the western world to equality.
There r plethora of instances bt they cant be over emphasized.

phurlabby: Lol! In as much as I know it's a man's world, women really do enjoy benefits that men can only dream of.

We need to stop wasting time on this issue of gender equality but rather focus on gender equity. One of my favourite lecturers at Babcock University, Prof. Opeke explained in detail the difference and gave a quick test in class that day, while teaching she asked that our tables and chairs be moved back - immediately all the girls got up and left the job for the "men". There and then she pointed out that if it was money being shared now they will scream equality but when it came to hardwork it was left to the men. Same with other aspects of our society, women will only scream when they aren't getting the better deal ( I mean, at Tennis grandslams women play the best of three sets while men play the best of five all for equal pay).

Equality deals with treating everyone as the same, but even the staunchest of feminists will agree that men and women can never be the same, be it biologically or any other way so why bother?

Equity however deals with treating people equally with respect to their differences. Is it somewhat impractical? Probably, but it is a better option than banging on about equality when clearly we aren't. As Opeke would say "Equality is about buying the same action toys for ur male and female children but Equity means buying barbies and other female-oriented playthings for your daughter which cost the same as the action toys you get your son.
Seriously, I love this!
Sums everything up quite nicely. Would be a sin not to hit the like button.

@sholly, you made (unusually) reasonable points. I agree that the patriarchal 'privilege' is part of reason there are more than a few irresponsible men. Some men like to be called 'superior' to the female folk without anything meaningful to show for it. The point though highly exaggerated, is true.

Still, women have their gender-based privileges, which feminists turn a blind eye to, most notably is getting away with many things while hiding in the shadow of being naturally weaker. Other people have listed many of them already.


In the end, nature makes it so... The collective responsibility of the male-folk is the reason for this 'privilege' which they also share collectively. Despite anyone's stance on the issue, there still is a weaker sex... And feminism is still a bundle of confused contradictions.

P.S: No guy has begrudged me for a full year on NL. Any guy that does it would be quickly tagged 'sisi'. But you can, and have. It's a 'Shollypops privilege'.

You didn't see @de beauvoir address me with an uncivilized tone FIRST?. Even when we're having a civilized debate devoid of uncivilized words?. Clap for yourself, detective quivah.

Of course you won't see it, you're among the feminist who see wrongs in truth and truth in lies and chose correct the wrong of a man than that of a woman who "attacked" first.

@Op has no point at all. One is that gender is naturally not equal then how can we make it equal? Are we God? Why is it that its the females that mostly say that its men's world? But I never see males saying such. The world is for all us(male and female). The females previledge beat that of males previledge by 80% : 20%. But the problem is that the males ignore most of the unfavourble act or condition toward them that is why is not recognised. Gender is not naturally equal but its naturally balance! Why do u feminst want to deny male their little natural favour and still enjoy your own female natural favour-that is cheating now!

I doubt you know the meaning of "equal". If you want equality, like I told @de beauvoir, it will BE IN ALL ASPECT. All these "strength" shouldn't be used as a criteria is crap. Ladies don't just choose the sides that favours them and discard the rest

In my department at work there is this heavy cabinet that we want to move out from the office, do you know what the women said "we have men in the room let them carry it" as in why that statement undecided if women are fighting for gender equality with men why pushing the physical work that need strength for the men to do? Like someone said if it was money they wanted to share now women we start screaming "equal share" as in feminist are bunch of confused group. I still stand on EQUITY each gender should play its role.

Have never heard of men fighting gender equality with women it is only the hypocritos feminist that are fighting gender equality confusing other females, very soon they(mumu feminist) will want to fight having their own dicck since men don't need to squirt before peeing. cheesy

As a muslim men and women are equal in soul/spirit but in human/flesh equity is what stands.

From merriam-webster dictionary

Equal
1equal adjective \ˈē-kwəl\
: the same in number, amount, degree, rank, or quality
: having the same mathematical value
: not changing : the same for each person

@the bolded, men and women are not the "SAME" for each person. They have breastss, we don't have it. We have dycks, females don't have it. So how are we equal?. Equality means the same, I ask, do we have the EQUAL strengths with women?. Smh

From www.thefreedictionary.com

e·qual Pronunciation ( kw l)
adj.
1. Having the same quantity, measure, or value as
another.
2. Mathematics Being the same or identical to in value.
3.
a. Having the same privileges, status, or rights:
equal before the law.
b. Being the same for all members of a group:
gave every player an equal chance to win.
4.
a. Having the requisite qualities, such as strength
or ability, for a task or situation
: "Elizabeth found
herself quite equal to the scene" (Jane Austen).
b. Adequate in extent, amount, or degree.
5. Impartial; just; equitable.
6. Tranquil; equable.
7. Showing or having no variance in proportion,
structure, or appearance.

@de beauvoir, I thought "strength" is not a "determinant" factor in discussing "equality"?. How come the dictionary proves your assertion wrong?. Is it from my mouth?. Smh.

Read the "advantages" part again. The major idea is that a man in such a society can do certain things without being answerable (very much unlike his female contemporaries). How does that not scream irresponsibility? Or do I have to post all the definitions of 'responsibility' first?

@the bolded, As if your senseless "offers" will change the reality

Gender equality, also known as sex equality or sexual equality or equality of the genders, implies that men and women should receive equal treatment, unless there is a sound biological reason for different treatment

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_equality


@the bolded, that's the delusions feminists keep having. If we're to go by the opinion, then women and men ought to be subjected to the same and equal treatment. No more, no less. I gave example that girls had a rule in my second. School that forbids a teacher flogging them more than 6 strokes of the cane for ANY punishment, but guys are flogged up to 16 strokes and more. Guys dig STUMPS for breaking some school laws, but the ladies don't get punishment CLOSE to that. Guys are flogged on both hands and azzes, women are flogged only on their hands.

Now does the above scenario paint a picture of "EQUAL TREATMENT" that feminists are harping on about?.

Gender equality never existed and will never exist. All these "laws" are just a facade that keeps women deluding themselves. Face reality, THERE'S NO GENDER EQUALITY in reality, it begins anbd only end in written epistles
