Equality - Does it exist?

[Tash.]

Just been discussing this with someone on msn, they dont think that women and men are equal or that they should be. I think the opposite of that.. I think that they definitely should be equal. I don't think they are right now, not completely, but it's getting there. What do you think?

[sarey]

Men are physically stronger i believe.. cause they kinda are.
But some women are stronger physically too.
Same with emotionally. I dont think women and men should be equal because people need to be independant and have different skills, better or worse than others.

If a girl wants to be good at...football(as an example), They have to train and train for years, but men just pick it up and learn it in a matter of days.

Men are phiscally stronger, but women are emotionally stronger.

Woman aren't emotionally stronger if you think about it.

No it will never exist because it simply cant happen. Not being sexist but it's just not likely to happen. Because of our Nation and also because of the different way women and males develop.

Some are Craig.
And Craigs right, it wont happen, cause thats how this world is, no ones exactly equal, everyone has skills that their weak at, and strong at.

I also meant in opportunities. Like for example, many women cant get into high paid jobs or high positions in a job, because the people who are at the top are scared that a woman will go and have a baby and not come back. Therefore, they see them as a waste of their time, money and training. I don't think that this is right.

[sarey]

That aint right.. i thought u meant emotionally/physically lol.

[Craig]

Women to get to the top need to train alot which some get bored of and would rather do a job they'd enjoy. Also a factor of the bosses at the top is whether they are intending to have a baby or wether they can do as much work as a male. Again not being sexist but in most cases men can do better physical work than females, and men also aren't put off by certain aspects of a job like say having to move something that smells etc.

[sarey]

Yeah, I know men are physically stronger, in some cases. But some women are stronger physically too. Like in wrestling.

From a business point of view, that is correct. Why waste your money training a woman who will then go and get pregnant and need time off, causing you to spend more money advertising for a temporary replacement, when a man cuts all that out?
