Or they could believe that women deserve more rights, and they are a matriarch and sexist.
But I expect you're right
Yep, I`m pretty sure I`m right, though often wonder how men would feel if the tables were reversed and we lived in a matriarchal society instead of a patriarchal one.
It comes down to power and privilege with many men they just don`t want their authority or positions to be challenged they want control over women its as simple as that.
Of course. Only a complete idiot would vote no and think that men and women are not equal.
Both genders may have equal opportunity, but we are not equal in the way we think, i.e. how the brain works differently between the sexes.
And men are definitely not equal to women in terms of sexual pleasure generally speaking. An average woman has more erogenous zones than your average bloke.
There needs to be a yes and no choice on this poll.
I am a feminist in as much as I obviously think women should have equality regarding voting, pay (if the do exactly the same job) etc. That should go without saying in this day and age.
However, I am not a feminist who believes women can do all a man can do and probably better.
Both sexes have strengths and weaknesses and those with any common sense play to those strengths, regardless of gender.
When I hear women saying they wouldn't let a man change a tyre because they can do it just as well, it makes my blood boil! Most of us struggle when a lid on a jar is firmly in place, so how the hell are we supposed to be able to tighten the nuts on a tyre as well as a man can? And that's if we've managed to get them off in the first place!!!! 😄

You managed to get a sexual reference into this thread. Well done.

I'm pretty sure a car tyre has been changed by an average strength woman at some point in history somewhere on planet Earth. My Mum for example. Ergo, your post is cobblers - other than referring to your own physical abilities of course.
Ridiculous post. How about talking about the art of the possible. Last time I looked very few men have managed to get pregnant.
It's a ridiculous concept but what she is saying is that it is not the gender that is getting in the way in that example but the pregnancy. It makes sense, even if not in a literal way.

Everyone has different skills, gender should never matter. My OH is shit at DIY, anything that involves construction or mechanics, I do. However he is a better cook, and does the ironing better than me. But if he or I was to say that those roles I've said were fixed to one gender, we'd be arseholes. Thankfully we are not

Precisely :-)

Here we go! Man the barricades it's gender wars, down with the Patriarchy!
There should be no gender wars, this is purely about women having equal rights and equal power balance in society and gender roles being more fluid instead of one gender trying to outdo the other.

Did I say women can't do it? No. What is wrong with accepting both sexes have different strengths and weaknesses? I know I'd much rather travel on tyres done up by a man than a woman. Even better if they were done up by a machine as it would be stronger still than a man.
Just an aside, why did you have to be so rude in your reply? Disagree, that's fine. After all, isn't discussion what we are all here for? DS would be pretty boring without it. But resorting to insults, that just weakens your argument and is unnecessary.

Me for a week. Bad luck
Do you believe that women should have more rights or less then? Be 'elpful. Innit, blood.
Lol whoo whoo :-D
Nice to see you back by the way.
So you believe men should have more rights than women?
That makes you a patriarch and sexist.
Or they could believe that women deserve more rights, and they are a matriarch and sexist.
But I expect you're right
What rights do men have that women don't?
Ta *curtseyflail*
I think it's about equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

Not many in the UK.

Wages is still the main one.
Jobs themselves are getting better, the Royal Navy are now converting submarines to let women work on them.

I'm with you 100%😊

... What has this got to do with anything?

Oh dear, the clue to the point I was making is in the second sentence.
Last time I looked most women aren't 8 months pregnant.
Precisely :-)
