Are women equal to men?

I read a news article (written by a woman) stating that men are not equal to men. So the question is what do you all think. Are women equal to men?

My thought is no. There are a whole lot of things that women can do that men can’t. Comparing women to men are like comparing apples and oranges. So who started the war of the sexes any way?

    Needs more context. Equal in terms of what? Physically, men are on average stronger and faster. But that isn't necessarily the case in other areas. I know several women who are brilliant.

    No way. They need to know their place, wear their burqas and keep quiet.

    In what regards? Men, on average, are physically stronger than women. Women have the ability to grow another human being inside their body.

    Men are better than women at some things, just as women are better than men at others. I think it's very difficult to quantify the abilities that men have over women and vice versa.

    No, I don't think the sexes are equal. But like you said its comparing apples to oranges. Neither is "better" per se; we're just different.

    Burqaus are very attractive on a woman. Imaginations run wild when looking at a woman in a burqua.Burqaus are very atractive

    I am not qualified to answer such questions, let me go ask the man of the house.
    Seriously though, there is no one person completely equal to another, and gender doesn't have a whole lot to do with that.

    I prefer that women have the babies. I don’t think I could man up to that kind of pain.

    was this article in Fox News, as I know there was one on their website around this subject? If so, it's nonsense. Fox News is the last place people should get their information.

    The question could also be; Are men equal to women?


    Anyway,I believe we're the same but we're so different at the same time!

    I believe that both sexes should be treated equally because both are humans.

    I remember back in the day I was in a psychology class in university (which was predominantly female) and the teacher was talking about the human brain. So I asked the question if a guys brain, pound for pound, was as smart as a woman's. She conceded that yes they were. So then I asked, "Isn't it true that a guy's brain on average is larger than a woman's"? I think she saw where I was going with my logic. Immediately all the girls put their hands up to defend how the two gender's processed information differently and how we were better in some areas and weaker on average in others. I sat back and smiled. I know on the whole that the two genders are different but on the whole equal, but I do enjoy playing devil's advocate from time to time.

    It saddens me that there is this constant need to define the differences between men and women.

    The real facts are that women and men share more in common than the differences we have. Strength in character, emotional maturity, intelligence and sensuality are not determined by our sex.

    There are so many more common grounds in our life experiences, such as our ability to grow and become great, that we should be striving to find our similarities and spend less time always pointing out the differences.

    Men and women are equally capable of being good or bad, of doing the right thing versus the wrong thing. We all feel the same life experiences, health, sickness, happiness, sadness, and eventually death.

    It is too bad so much focus is placed on our few differences (mostly physical really), and that we continue to widen the gap between females and males.

    In conclusion, yes, I believe that there are many characteristics we share as human being that makes us very equal.

    I grew up in a household where my mom was the main bread winner, she was a horse trainer, farrier ( horse shoer) and a trucker, we also renovated our own house, built two run in sheds and built the inside of an 8 box stall barn and ran a horse farm/ breeding operation with little to no help from men. So I grew up with the attitude that women can do pretty much anything they want and that you don't depend on anybody unless you have to.

    And don't take that as man bashing because I am not, this was just how I grew up, even when my drunk of a step dad was with us he was useless.

    it depends how you look at it i would like to say we are equal but both side get away with different thing like women in country music can talk about killen a guy dixie chick, carrie underwood. yet the guys couldn't..but then you can look at work places and compare some men make more then women for doing the same job.
