I support women's rights. But what does that mean?

Different but equal.

Well, it depends. You could consider the early 20th century's ideas of "women's rights" focused predominantly on their freedom to walk around barefoot, in the kitchen, breeding and popping out an ugly, dirty, squirming ball of noise at regular intervals...

I support women's rights. But I do not support the notion that there are not any differences between the sexes. We are created differently, both physically and mentally, and real equality would be to respect that and let both sexes complement each other.

@Nikolai : How are that new law about at least 40% women in Board of Directors working ? Have any companies been closed yet ?

[BeBMan]

What about "Men and Women are different and should be treated equally"??

[Lorizael]

All humans are different. Regardless, most humans possess the potential to achieve great things. Because of this, all humans should be treated equally well in order to encourage that greatness.

The few humans who lack this potential should be turned into food beasts.

They threatened to close down Statoil. Statoil, our largest company, one of the larger companies in the world. I'm afraid our current government is a complete disaster. And not because of that law. But the biggest problem is, that half of our country doesn't realize it.

I think one needs to fully explain what one means by

Men and Women are different and that should be acknowledged

. There are obvious, no-doubter physical differences. But this sort of line can also be cover for "well, women think like this and men think like that, so the guys should be the CEOs and stuff and the girls should bake cookies" crap.

But I like cookies

[Arrian]

Bake 'em yourself, then.

It's not terribly difficult.

[BeBMan]

Cookies

But they're best when made by Ma or Grandma /sexist

At home, it's my dad who makes dinner. Cakes is my mum's area though. Both's food is

That's the thing. Most modern rejections of absolutely equal rights seem to be based on this line of reasoning though.

This would be the category for people who think that women have a place in the boardroom, but should stay out of certain specific roles (combat units, priesthood, boy scout troop leaders, whatever)

I think people who view men as better CEOs are more along the lines of Men are better than women.

[LordShiva]

Women are better than all men other than myself, because they are hotter.
