It's all a function of geography. In North America, and for the most part in South America, Europe and Oceania and a few scattered places in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, women are equal.

They are not equal everywhere, so woman are not treated equally yet.

Please note that equality does not mean sameness. Looking at wage statistics doesn't make sense when we're biologically different. It's quite possible to be different, but be morally equivalent, and that is the case.

Different chromosomes mean different tendencies. For example, there was a lot of concern about the lack of women in technical fields in the 70's. When all the data came back in, girls were not "deficient" in mathematics, it turned out they all just went into medicine, or non-technical fields as a choice.

"From my point of view nowadays if you are a straight, white, male, not a drug addict or alcoholic, if you have a nice job and do not have aids - you are the most discriminated person ever."

Ahahahhahahha. I'm sorry, I just aahahahhahah. Alright I think I have a hold of it now, wait ahahahhahahhah.

Okay, okay. That's better. Did you really just say that? I don't think you understand what discrimination is.

"According to General Accountability Office (GAO) Report GAO-04-35, the weekly earnings of full-time working women were about three-fourths of men's during 2001. The report was prepared from a study of the earnings history of over 9,300 Americans for the last 18 years.

Even accounting for factors such as occupation, industry, race, marital status and job tenure, reports the GAO, working women today earn an average of 80 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. This pay gap has persisted for the past two decades, remaining relatively consistent from 1983-2000."

Discrimination is being treated worse because of sex/race/sexual orientation/religion etc.

You are just complaining because you don't have many organizations that fight for your rights because straight, white, males kind of already have their rights. These other organizations exist to help others combat the oppression that we as straight, white, males have been forcing upon everyone else. You have nothing to complain about. When we get pulled over by a police officer, we just worry about trying to get out of our ticket, not getting beaten. When we walk around at night, we don't have to be afraid of being raped. We don't have our right to marry the person we love being assaulted by religious fanatics. Statistically we are healthier, have more access to education, and come from high socioeconomic backgrounds. And you're complaining that other people have organized to try help disadvantaged peoples like themselves to have equal opportunities to live happy, productive lives?

I have dealt with people like you before and in my experience, they were motivated by thinly veiled racism and sexism.

The reason there is no straight white man's rights movement is because you already have all the rights. Is anyone denying you the right to marry who you want? Is anyone trying to remove your bodily autonomy? Was there ever a point in American history when you would have been a slave? Who are all the politicians, the business owners, the filmmakers and authors and artists, the richest people in the world? Straight, white men.

I think there are some ridiculous expectations out there for men, including what it means to 'be a man'. But while life can be hard for everyone, including straight, white men, people realize you have it pretty much as good as it gets.

Edit: I don't mean to minimize the hardships that any individual person faces, because I don't live your life and I don't know your particular circumstances. I just mean that white men have had most of the money, power, and influence for a very long time.

Nope.

As long as women are sometimes blamed for being raped, as long as abortions are not always safe and legal, as long as there is a soul-crushing amount of pressure on women to be flawlessly beautiful, as long as women are beaten and traded as property in other countries, as long as women are disproportionately represented in movies, books, and television shows, as long as women are denied promotions and positions they deserve, and as long as little girls are brought up to believe their body is the most important thing about them.

"Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud."

-Rush Limbaugh

"I think [women] should be armed but should not vote...women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it...it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."

-Ann Coulter

"Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women."

-Phyllis Schafly

Like my mother always said, "Women are not the same as men...we have babies for goodness sake. Now i'd love to see a man do that."

Men and Women are not equal in the simple fact that men are physically stronger than women there is one reason and there is a list where women beat men and men beat women. There are more men in the government, more male doctors, more male police officers. Women can reproduce =\
