why are women of this world ever fighting for equal rights which are practically impossible?
447319
Because we are sick of living under the rules of men. We were oppressed and it's time to fight back.

not all feminists want men out completely. I think all the roles should be equal for all as much as possible (off course men can't give birth so not all things can be shared unfortunately)

Women didn't have rights in this country for a long time. Now people in this country feel so burdened by the fact that women in other countries don't have the same rights. Imagine in a few years when the gay community is an accepted and appreciated part of American society and everyone is burden by the fact that gays in other countries don't have the same rights. People are evolving spiritually right now. Just stand for what you know is right and make room for all people in your life. Sooner or later the haters will catch up. What is sad is how many young people are being taught intolerance by their parents and society. \nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

women are too competitive with each other.

If there are more women than men it can't be by very much\nstatistically. Historically speaking,men have dominated women\nbecause of greater physical strength. Things are changing,\nthough,maybe some day sexual equality will be a reality.\nWe probably won't see it-not to the full extent anyway.\nGive it a hundred years.

There is still many inequalities between race and sex especially in the less developed world. These is not a condemnation because such practices and believes have been ingrained in cultural practices and will be hard to eliminate. Most of the time abuses occur when people are poor and lack education, wifes and children are mistreated in patriarchal families for example very little pretext is needed if a female in Afghanistan and many middle eastern countries is accused by a male counterpart for being 'loose' which could be as little as staring at an unknown male. Certain extent it is even the families themselves that kills the lady for the sake of honor. Elsewhere women still fills most of the roles of servant with income earning and taking care of the household and have very little rights in the eyes of society much less the law. Racial violence is still a constant occurence, recent flares during the Sept 11 incident increased hatred and fear from the Muslim community and given undue prejudice for the work of several fundamentalists. However all is not too bleak, in many major countries where the standard of living is rising and barriers are being broken down, many equalities have been attained for the races and sex especially in the US. Yet for the world as a whole much is yet to be done.

Do you have some sort of warped sense of reality????\n\nI think that men have more rights than women!

Women like a challenge. They are unable to accept men as they are. They always want to make us over & later ask whatever happened to that person they first fell in love with?\nBe yourself & don't give the matter another thought. Some women can not believe they are not irrestible. It shatters them & so the anger

I do agree with you on this point.  However, this is not grounds to give women special rights.  For instance:  I have seen records of court cases in which the father is a decent man but the mother is on drugs and all the problems that come with it.  The father gets a divorce because the mother neglects the kids and she still gets custody on the grounds that "Children need their mother."  \n\nI agree with you, but equal rights does not mean special rights.

Well...we are suppose to have equality, and I don't think that it will ever fully happen.  Regardless of what is said, women are exploited for their bodies.  And, look at kids toys commercials...there is a toy grill that has a boy child being like his dad..and a girl child playing with a kitchenette being like her mom.  And cleaning ads..the majority of them are women and aimed towards them.  In the workplace, a lot of the time the girl is called a b*tch for acting the same way as men to get a higher position in the company.  We have to still work harder to get the same respect very often.\nThe biggest market that I can think of for exploiting women's bodies is alcohol...drink this and you will have hot, half-naked women falling all over you...\n:)

I completely agree.... a lot of women fought for us for our right to get out there and vote and I think it's a slap in the face for them when women don't use that right\nPlease Vote!!!!

Is it right? No. Women want equal treatment, but it isn't quite true. You guys like ot pick and choose when to be equals and when not to be for your advantage. You claim to deserve better job wages, even for hard "man's work" because a woman has as good potential for her strength as a man, but if a woman can punch and really hits a guy, all of a sudden he shouldn't fight back because your a frail, weak, fragile woman. It is total b ullshit.\n\nBy the way, I would never hit a woman, but I do realize it is b ullshit.

Yes we are!! I think it's because they lack respect for women. I think they were raised with "old school" traditions when women "knew there place". They can't handle the fact that women have stepped up to the plate where they have failed miserably. When they encounter problems they whine about it while we deal with it. They resent us.

I don't think it's fair either, but that's how it's always been. However, the double-standards go both ways. Women can't be drafted.

How are we defining equality? Equal opportunity? Equal rights? Equal benefits?  Some of these things are plausible, others less so. \n\nI'm inclined to say that even if equality will never happen in practice (and in fact, I'm convinced that we don't want most kinds of equality to happen in practice! That would make for a very boring world), but it's a good goal to work towards.

To understand this, you must understand the "hidden" goal of many feminist. Many feminist, especially those most viewed in the media, do not truly seek equality but superiority. They first began this quest by striving for "equality" through the legal system. However, the legal system can only ensure women are safe and treated equally in the work force, and that not so well. The legal system can not make society stop viewing men, husbands, and fathers as providers, protectors, and leaders. Nor can it force society to stop viewing women, wives, and mothers, as nuturers, providers.\n\nFor this reason, many feminist have focused on society, the familly, the Church, and all things personal that still holds solemn, supposed archaic, views of men and women. Constantly striving to reverse the God given roles of Adam and Eve, men and women. This will be a never ending quest for these feminist, because God and nature prevent them.\n\nNo matter how many bras feminist burn, or revolutions they ignite, the Church will always hold dear the doctrine of Christ. As well, men nor women will never escape nature, governed by God. The man will always hold the "seed" of children. The woman will always be the barer of children, the nurse, the mother. For this reason, women who desire to be biological mothers will always come to a point, (pregnancy and post-pregnancy) where they will need the man to aid, nuture, comfort, and provide for them.\n\nFeminists will never be satisfied until they realize they can not run from their own God ordained nature. They must recognize that the roles and duties of Adam and Eve, men and women, were not ordained by men, but by Christ.
