Should equality between men and women be based upon their acts or upon their nature as persons?

Wow, this could almost be asked under Philosophy, too.  There is so much I could say in answer to this provocative line of thought, but maybe I will just keep it simple for once in my life:\nIf we think of men and women simply as the two inseparable halves of one whole, without both of which being in healthy existence, there would be no human species, then the question of equality becomes moot.\nYes, each half has by nature been given strengths and genetic "jobs" to fulfill, both necessary to the ultimate survival of the species.\nOn top of that we have been given awesome intellect and deep emotional and spiritual reservoirs to allow us an existence raised above the mere day to day survival necessities of food, shelter and procreation.\nSo, my answer to your question is that we are equal by our natures.  Different, but no less equal. We are partners, not combatants.

I dont. I think when women make that statement, they need to really think about it first.\nWhen I think about equality, its more about fairness. If Im doing a mans job, which I am, I should be paid equally. I work my as* off picking up 60-80 lb cases and I certainly dont wait for my male coworkers to come and help. If I took the job, I should be able to do it. \n I also believe that if I ask a man out for a drink then I should be the one paying and not get pissed off when he doesnt automatically open his wallet.

My view is that men of all cultures will make women out to be inferior so they can benefit from the power it gives them within that society. Men desire this power more in some cultures than in others.\nIf a person can be convinced they are inferior to you they will submit more easily to your will. Women are the weak gender ONLY if they are made to believe that they are.

Yes, I think it time women took control of the Equal Rights. AND, remember, when you ask us out you pay the way, and, you better respect us in the morning! ;-D

Justice is only truly defined in one's self.Equal justice-there is no equal justice who's to say what justifies another.To every situation there are exceptions and exceptions should be carried out when prevailing justice.

Humans should be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their race, religion, etc.\n\nChildren should be given immunity from all wrongful things.

I think equality and freedom are two very distinct and separate issues.  Every human being on this earth should have and know freedom.  Equality (as defined) can never be settled because there is always a person, a group or a mass that believe themselves to be superior.  So, in a perfect world, all people would be free to be themselves and do their best and equal to each other simply by being Human Beings.

i think we really mean respect when we say equality and the right to live our lives, build our careers and homes as we see fit not as someone else dictates.\nrespect as a person so that we aren't raped & murdered for being women, so we're not beaten senseless by some testosterone overloaded man.\nrespect enough that living active social lives does not make us "wh*res" & "sl*ts", when a man gets applauded for it.\nrespect enough that we aren't cubbyholed into the slots for mother, wife, and maid without seeing our true potential.

If we had true equality for gender, then there would be fashion freedom which means no discrimination on how someone dresses. Some people will cross dress for fun, some because they are more comfortable dressing in a fashion that suits their personal feeling. If people were less bigoted , there would be no issue as to how someone presents themselves, provided they are not threating or intimidating
