The title says it all. What do you think? And I mean what do you REALLY think? Don't try to act like you're not a little biased if you are. I hate people that lie. And Zophia, if you come on, I already know you're opinion.
let me say that in our country women have not jailed for life ... it is illegal
What about men? Often people don't consider it vice versa, where a man has the bad end of the stick. It doesn't occur all that much, but still should be considered.
Are men and women equal? Nope. From general observation I have a general attitudes towards people. I don't talk to all men the same, and I don't talk to all women the same, although like men I do have pre-set values and guidelines that I naturally follow to help socially get along with a girl.
If she wants to be taken as something else, much like a man I would give them the oppurtunity to do so. The difference is the precautionary actions, I wouldn't be so careful as to watch my tongue with a male than I would be with most females, would I? Of course it doesn't mean I'm abusive, or insulting - or anything negative, but I might be less confrontational in my oration against a man, and that's actually a bad thing for them - because my oration should be to the point, and rational. If it's someone who I would think has a higher chance of reacting poorly I would have to weigh out the scales a little to suit them, it creates a slower discussion that quite frankly gets nowhere when you find that most men can't be mature.
Or is that just me? I find that women are generally much more kind / caring and have legitimate reasons for it, it's simple altruism. And I find they're more reasonable in contact with me. I mean, it doesn't matter much that any conflict between me and a male friend would result in us two laughing it off with banter that may or may not include fowl language, but I could actually hash it out like an adult (despite not being one) with a female.
It's funny that thinking about this I've already learnt ^^ Thanks thread, I'll hopefully see some of you around.
Because I said I will not state my opinion, I will not either agree nor disagree with your personal choice, however I agree with what you said about rights. As to the age thing, you're right to a certain extent. A 3 year old, for instance, should definitely not be as respected as a 30 year old.
