i have already chosen the NO side,i.e. women are not equal with men. how are women viewed in society? why is there still the feeling that we are one step lower than the men? how about other fields?
ok...thank you everyone so far. please understand that's what the teacher said teh title would be "gender inequality". i am not trying to be sexist or anything.
 
I have been around the block a few times, and i have never once in my life witnessed any kind of sexism, i've been an employer, i've worked over 25 different jobs, i've been to several different countries(none of them were developing countries like Saudi Arabia though) and i still haven't seen anything of the sort, against men or women.

Inequality doesn't exist in our society, its an excuse people try to use to pawn off their failings on. You hardly ever see a successful woman, or man for that matter, whining about how bad the world treats them.

Trust me, i've tried to use it before myself, and it gets you nowhere, unless you organize 20,000 people to whine and moan in unison.


Lyantha: You said to check the laws... i'm gonna ask you to check the laws yourself, women have every legal right that men do, and then some(reproductive rights), yet i always here you saying its not about the laws, but how they are applied, could that not apply here too?
 
Lyantha, we all know women get off easy in crimes, so don't bother going into it - those sentences for rape are like a slap on the wrist compared to what men get. And for any other crime for that matter.

I can't help you on this one sorry, because i would of chosen the YES side - women are equal to men.
 
Women are not equal to men through the values roles and beleifs within our society. Our society shapes us to believe we are inferior to men. Australian society values working and places little value on the role of parenting and caring, a women's role, men often being seen as the head of the family. All male dominated careers are paid much more than women dominated careers. We only have to look at which sex gets the majority of sports time on tv and we see the lower value given to women. We have to look nice for me, make up, hair, figure. Do you see this many products in shops to make men look nice for us?
 
Flamespeak:

"Women get lighter sentences for prison for sexually related crimes."

They do not.

In 2005, Debra Lafave was sentenced to 3 years in prison and 7 years probation for statutory rape.

Also in 2005, Pamela Rogers was sentenced to 9 months in prison and 7 years and 3 months probation for statutory rape. In 2006, she was sentenced to 9 years in prison for violating her probation.

In 1997, Mary Kay Letourneau was sentenced to 7 years and 5 months in prison for statutory rape. This is one case where it certainly could be argued that the victim "wanted it", since he married her less than a year after her release.

In 1993, Joseph Buttafuoco was sentenced to 4 months in prison for statutory rape.

Edit: W3ST SID3 R3P: Please read my post before you dismiss it. It's clear that you didn't.

Flamespeak: Check the laws. You are incorrect.
 
You are right women are not equal to men but superior. Look at this.

Biologically, there is a clear superiority of women over men:
• Women live longer by at least seven years! In the animal kingdom, the female also lives longer than the male.
• Women are more resistant to infectious agents and even cancer!
• Women work longer hours during their lifetime than men. Women have less leisure time. • The infant mortality rate is less for girls than boys.
• In industrialized countries the greater longevity of women is an undisputed fact.
• Women are known to take better care of themselves, both physically and mentally.
• At any age, men are three times more likely to die of accidents, violence and cardiovascular diseases.
• Malignant cancer related to smoking and alcoholism occur more frequently in men.
• Women resist extreme cold longer than men, because they have a deeper insulating layer of fat under their skin.
• Hemophilia, the hereditary disease which prevents blood from clotting, affects males primarily.
• Men are more subject to color blindness, stuttering and learning disabilities.
• Women have better manual dexterity enabling them to do work requiring finer movements.
• Women are wealthier than men. The U.S. Treasury Department informs us that women die richer by outliving spouses and inheriting everything. • Girls mature, on the average, three years earlier than boys.

Men refuse to believe that even with their larger size and muscle strength, women are superior, live longer, can be leaders, and can even beat a man in some sports. This is because in order to get a mate. women have belittled themselfves into believeing that men are supreme, and they must be and act weak to get a mate. But now the truth is out, more girls graduating college, a future woman president, maybe not now but in Germany and around the world. In time both men and women will realize that the sexes are not equal, the woman, female is superior after all.
 
Well lets see.

- Women have the right to vote yet do not have the duty of defending their country at war, since they are not required to enter in the selective service. This is discrimination based on gender against men. But still is the way the law is.

- Women can get away with murdering her own child if it has not yet being born. Men have no saying on this as they argue that its her body. Yet if a child is born, men have to pay to support it. Thus men have no saying on the mather, but still have a duty.

- While In theory the law must be equal to men and women, in practice the woman get away easier than men. I am talking percentage here. A few cases means nothing as they are the exception to the rule. For example, no mather how horrendous the crime, its almost imposible for a woman to be executed, yet is not unusual for the state to execute men on daily basis.

- Unless there is a very good case against the woman and the guy have a good lawyer, she usually gets to keep the children with her after the divorce. This means that she keeps the house and a huge amount of money from their ex.

- In some states, the man has to pay an alimony to his ex wife after a divorce. Yet there in most of the same states, the woman does not have to pay the man. This is an another example of discrimination based on gender, that is interestingly legal.

- Women get to be treated as a minority when it comes to government help. Yet in reality they are a mayority. This means that altough there are more women than men, there are way many more homeless men than women.

- When a woman feels endangered at her home and have no where to go.. She can A: call the police to throw the man out. or B: go to a state paid shelter. If a man is in the same situation, he can go to the street.
 
physically in stature....or sexual dimorphism....women are smaller and have less muscle. ...women are more left brain and men more right brain.....now these are just the "norms" an average of the species as a whole....of course a person can train their body or mind or be born to special abilities.....
good luck!
