Are men and women really 'equal'?

[FlyingJesus]

One example I think of which is culture related is when a man cheats on his girlfriend he isn't particularly treated as evil (not verbally at least) yet when a woman does there is a long list of words you can use to describe her. Men do not seem to have as many derogatory words as women.

I'd say men who cheat are vilified far worse than women - the repercussions are often physical as well as verbal with things getting smashed up, people being lynched by the woman's family & friends, all sorts, while women who cheat can just claim that it's because the guy didn't buy her X Y and Z and then she's congratulated for it

Hmm, guess it was a terrible example. It's the opposite here, but it could be an Essex thing I've seen women being called all the words that relate to prostitutes while the men get patted on the back.

To be fair, hitting anyone whether they are the opposite sex or not is stupid. The same goes for chivalry in modern day society - general, universal politeness is the way forward - hold the door open for anyone if you can and it's suitable

I have to say that i'm surprised by the responses in this thread, I thought i'd be in a very small minority on this one.

When men can get pregnant and give birth.

then both the sexes can be equal.

^ Possibly, since if that were the case then maybe men would have been elevated and protected throughout human history as well as women, rather than being marched off to die en masse and then called disgusting

that's not actually a 'rule'

pretty assault is not gender specific

look at couples having children, because the kid comes out the woman it means she has more say over the kids life. re: fathers for justice etc.
