2. Just because someone is a guy they can't teach elementry school... |
|
to start! Then there is my fav, women do not belong in the armed forces(HAH!). And if a guy want to stay at home to raise the kids and themom wants to be the one to work outside the home, they are looked at like freaks! I could go on and on!
If men &women don't play by some sort of stupid ruls they get treated like there loony! I say its not right!!!!

They tell guys at the University that as guys they are unsuitable to teach elementry, women killed in combat is being use as the reason for women to not be in, and your friends would have to make sure they have some sort of home internet thing or something so they could show that they are what are consitered "fit" fathers around here!

4. Maybe we've evolved mentally too much for our own good? |
|
Life would be so much more simple if we spent our days gathering food, picking bugs from each other's hair, and doing the nasty.
Sigh. How the times have changed.

i don't like those. men and women should be treated equally and do whatever the hell they want to do. if i wanted to stay home and watch my kid when my wife works, I'll do it, I tell you what. Sting BTW, I'm not married and I don't have a kid...at least I hope not.

8. I try to treat people equally |
|
I am scared of men I don't know, especially in large groups. I suppose that makes me sexist. In more comfortable situations or when I know the guys, I don't think that I treat people that differently based on sex. Maybe, I am just deluding myself into thinking that I am nearly egalitarian in practice because I am egalitarian in my thinking ideal.

9. I suspect because men & women have more in common than either would |

care to admit. Human beings are among the least sexually dimorphic of the mammals.
However, I do notice that women tend to be better at multitasking and at keeping multiple considerations in mind. A number of woman engineers I have known have used that ability to great advantage; my Mother (and my aunts on her side) were simply excellent at designing highly optimized, highly polished devices and machines with all tradeoffs perfectly balanced... When one looks one of their old designs, it seems almost inconceivable that it could be built any other way; everything seems so natural and so "right". But such designs are the hardest to achieve; most engineers simply cannot do it.

10. Diversity is our strength |
|
Any given human can treat another in a wide diverse manner based on attraction and other human traits.
