goodguy:
I think the issue of 'someone being in charge' should be properly explained here.  Should a man always be in charge simply because he's a man?  Shouldn't his ability to be in charge, also count?  Same applies to a woman too.

Exactly!!
gender shouldn't be a dictator of who should be in charge.
If a man is qualified to be a  senator, let him be. And if a woman is qualified, ler her be. I heard someone on this site say that he'll disown his daughter if she follows a political career path. That's gender bias.

look at it this way:
If you owned a company and are hiring to only one position. Two candidates with the same qualifications come up to you, it'll be bias to hire the male over the female just like it'll be bias to hire the female over the male.

for me, the deciding factor will be the dedication they have for the company and their moral character.

However, since strength (in all ramifications) is usually possessed more by a man, it is usually sensible for a man to be in charge; which of course has been the norm for ages now.  But note that I do not object to women being in charge, provided she's capable of actually being in charge.

WRONG!!!!
It is assumed (because of the kind of world we live in) that men are the kings with all the strenght while women are the weaklings.
If that was true, there won't be any female professionals. don't these jobs require strenght? we're not just tralking physical here.
It's been the norm for ages but it's changing. You know it is.
Women are capable of being in charge if they are nurtured right and encouraged.
If you tell a boy from birth that he was adopted he will grow up to believe it. likewise if you tell a girl from birth that she has no place in a male dominated society, she'll grow up to believe it.


Today in the united states, many of the women who to on to become congresswomen and recognized leaders are graduates from all women colleges (i.e Smith College, Holyoke e.t.c) they recieved their education in an enviroment where they are nurtured and instilled with leadership skills where in other schools only men get.
I'm thinking of applying to Smith for college but I heard that it's the school for "Nations brightest lesbians"   so id aid no thank you. lol
many turn straight when they graduate though and face the society strong and determined.

ok my mistake then.

in the toilets? 

those cleaning ladies were evil. they hate it when we use the toilets because they know they have to clean it. when i got to secondary school, WE had to clean them.

clubs were fun though. that's where the teachers became nice and got us stuff.

I loved Cowbell.
i still remember the commercial with the cow family.  

who remembers their afterschool clubs?
I used to be in the yoruba, igbo cultural dance, knitting and choir.
I still remember the songs too

Badman888:
lol Mer- C and WesleyanA

did u guys have different punishments like okada, pick pin, helicopter, because i no some schools they don't even brush them

only my parents used "kneel down and close your eyes" and "stroll down?" i don't remember if that's what it's called.
at school they used "cain" or tell you to leave the class. I was a good student and most of the times i got beat was when the teacher got mad at the whole class. lol
plus i was a teachers pet. 

"Thunder fya those teachers!!! "

lol. I remember calling my teacher a witch. not to her face though. she was sooo mean

I swear to God i found dollars on the floor once while coming back from school and didn't pick them up because i found palm oil rubbed on the corner.
I should have picked the money   but oh well.
There was a story in the newspaper that some guy turned into yam and blood came out of it.

do you remember those mallams? those little stores that sell candies and cookies? good days. I used to waste my lunch money on those.

"in case they steal your penis or boobs"
too bad i didn't have anything then. lol

retro:
I agree with you on every single word except for:
I wouldn't want to live in a country that is being ran by a woman.

now you're misquoting me.
I never said anything about men being subordinate to women. I said EQUALITY meaning 50/50. for every male leader there should be a female leader or something about that. I won't even be mad if the ratio was 1 to 1.7 as long as it's close and i know i'm not being deprived or my place isn't being taken by my male counterpart.

of course it'll be terrible for women to run the world. just as it is for men to run the world. then the men would be creating threads like this.

Anyways, if men and women are so equal, I'd love to know why men get higher salaries.

there's a gender bias. that's why.
men and women aren't equal but they should be.
I'm not complaining much though because I know that things are getting better.
at least women now can become doctors and take on professional careers unlike before where those areas were closed to men only.
women were just expected to sit at home and baby feed because they're "sensitive."

I'm a thinker when i'm alone or need to get things done
and a feeler when i'm around people.

i'm both i guess. . . but i don't trust these personality tests/ questions e.t.c they can be very ambiguous. + everyone has a different personality.

even so they're only good for people who are done growing (psychologically). Not recommended for teenagers or people who are just discovering themselves.

who knows 5 years from now, things will be the opposite for some people. just my opinion.

They're fun to take though 

who remembers being told not to follow any friends to their homes or not to take food from strangers if you don't want to be turned into money or a goat?

i will be 20 in 4 years and can't wait.
can i sign in?   I promise to be in my best behavior.

men and women aren't equal (obviously) but they should be.
And they will be. . . with time.

i see people are confusing "equal" with physical strength and gender characteristics when in fact what "equal" means is economical, social, educattional e.t.c equality.
men shouldn't be paid more than women for the same amount of work and likewise, women (in certain countries) shouldn't be denied healthcare and education solely because of their gender.

and whoever said men are supposed to be in charge is wrong. women can be in charge too.
It's because of these kind of view that there are few female leaders in the world.

it's also good to know your body type so you don't go on do do something unhealthy.

somepeople have hard time losing weight than gaining weight.
for some, it's 50/50
and for others, they have hard time gaining weight but it's easy for them to lose weight.
