Do you believe in equal rights for women?

Consider the following:

Give her food, she'll give you a meal.

Give her your semen, she'll give you a child.

Give her a house, she'll give you a home.

Give her any s##t, say no more.

Hypothetical scenario: your house in on fire. A loved one is trapped inside. They will not allow you to reenter. Which would you prefer to enter the house to save your loved one- a man or a woman?

Yes,  they already have equal rights in most western countries.. unfortunately some want more than that and the simps are happy to oblige.

Indeed. In many cases, special interest groups want special, not equal rights.

[Logosone]

The equal for the equal. The unequal for the unequal. That would be truly justice.

 

And what follows logically therefrom, never to make the unequal "equal".

How does the IB discriminate against women?

They discriminate against foreign men.

Foreign females married to Thai males can get citizenship without ever working a day in Thailand.

Not exactly, the Immigration Bureau doesn't process citizenship applications, that is done by the Special Branch. 

 

Whether the SB discriminates against foreign men is a moot point anyway as applications from foreign females are focused on the Thai man's qualifications, work and income history and the legitimacy of the relationship.  It doesn't just get automatically approved.

Thailand was very different to the place it is today, it was the last bastion of bloke-ism.  A place where a man was a man, where we could and should behave like men, on a parr to our Thai peers and contemporaries.  In fact we looked great in comparison.

 

Then in the past 10-15 years or so, all these sad bar steward, bleeding heart divorcee have been seen crying in their San Mig lite's, telling the bar girls how much their divorce cost them back home to Sheila, Barbera or Doris.

 

Thanks a lot guys, now all the girls here are on to it. A bloody cash cow. Well not with me theyre not.

That depends, if it Briana from Game of Thrones were there, I would let her do it.

No, it's not. Obviously, the point is that there are some things men are better at. Typically, jobs where physical strength are critical, a man is going to perform better.

 

Furthermore, as there are women firefighters, most if not all of whom have physical qualification standards inferior to those of men, it's simply a question you likely just don't want to answer.

Tell me where I am wrong in what I say, without reference to your own prejudices.

The sexism in your post lies in the generalizations and of course in the assertion that wamen are "superior to men" ...pure sexism.  since you mention prejudices, you have prejudged all women to have those fantasy qualities you list.

[talahtnut]

Equality of the sexes is a modern myth.

Men give husbandry wimmin do the

caring, its a trade off. The average time

span of the union is 30 months, allowing

a mother to breed again with a different

partner, ensuring the survival of the species.

Its not natural to live many years in

a marriage.

The missus and I live in separate houses,

I'm now in hers for 6 months, the rest of the

time she has freedom and independence

as I do.

I'm 90% there but until there is equal pay for the same amount of sets at Wimbledon I'll hold back the remaining 10%

Equal rights, yes, they already have, in my country anyway.

 

Equal outcomes, no.

Perhaps you would be able to post the relative percentages of each scenario.

The percentages are 100% equal, the law is very clear on it. Having worked in the courts and hearing hundreds of cases I know it as a fact. All things being equal then the split is equal.

 

Perhaps it would be better if you checked it out yourself.

Horses for courses. Place a premium on physical strength if you want. Women have superior tolerance of heat, cold and pain. Childbirth is Exhibit One, fancy giving it a try?

What we have here is a failure to communicate. I'm not talking about the split of all things being equal, I am talking about the scenario where a man has less assets than his female partner, and is awarded more of her assets accordingly. My guess is that would happen about 5% of the time.

I've been on the rough end of two asset splits myself. So when you say you have been part of that system, I no longer wish to acknowledge your existence.

Fancy getting into the ring with Mike Tyson, or a race with Usain Bolt? If I remember rightly, you are the one placing a premium on physical strength.

[White Christmas13]

So can we have equal rights for men to? When it comes to a divorce? Hardly any men get

custody of their children.

Childbirth and carrying someone out of a burning house are entirely different things. Oh and as for pain tolerance:

 

Study after study has shown that men have a higher tolerance for pain than women, according to researchers who seem to be making some progress in figuring out why.

That's dodging the question. You made an obviously sexist statement. I was merely pointing it out by creating an obviously racist statement that reads just like your sexist statement.

I believe in equivalent privileges and rights appropriate to each sex so that the balance is perceived as fair by reasonable people.  Equality is nonsense.  Men and Women ARE different.  Ideology does not lead to fairness.  Empiricism does,

[richard_smith237]

Of course men and women should have equal rights.

 

That said, with equal rights also comes the responsibility not to bow down to fear of not being equal.

 

I used the following example when asked the 'equal rights question' in an interview with an excellent female engineer I supervised, she was working on a 'sub-project' at the time which involved men and women in the work place.

 

When asked, I answered that I believe equal rights should exist. When asked about gender equality I argued that men and women are not equal, they are different, I believed in the rights of a 'meritocracy' and that 'gender equality' is different from equal legal rights.

 

The Example I used: I asked how many were on her Uni course (Engineering), 10% women was the answer.

OK then: If I needed 10 Engineers, I have a choice of a class of 100 (10% of them female), I want the best 10. I also want to show I am aware of equal rights: Do I chose 5 women and 5 men, or do I chose the top 10% regardless of gender?

 

In theory, with an average spread of a ability the top 10% would consist of 9 males and 1 female.

When asked if I think its unfair that there are more men than women on an Engineering Degree, I asked why was that? Engineering is not as attractive to women. I pointed out that in subjects such as medicine, Law, Dentistry, Ophthalmology etc there is a fairly equal spread.

 

I also asked her why her company, and the vast majority of companies, didn't employ male secretaries, isn't that unequal.

 

The points I tried to make were that while we would like the world to be perfectly equal, the issue is multifaceted, men and women are physiologically different, there will never be gender equality - but there must always be equal rights.
