Let me start off by saying I have not figured out the vast mysteries about women. I think I've found out one of the basic essentials to a relationship.

A man needs to feel NEEDED, and a woman needs to feel WANTED! I'm looking forward to reading your responses.

Let me ask you this, Tonicole....do you think that men and women are in some sort of competition with each other? Whether you think so or not, why do you think that?

According to what I got from your article, it seems to me that you feel like women are in some sort of competition for superiority with men. Why are they competing with each other?

In a previous response about this very same topic, I stated that men and women are neither better or worse than each other. Men have their roles to fill in their perspectives societies, and women have their roles. If men and women focused on their particular role in their particular society, and excelled in that role, then they could say how much of a man or woman that they are (no matter what others may same about them). Being a man or a woman is not something that we compete for; it's what we are. Do your part, and I'll do mine! Much Respect!

To PassingBy,

I see where you are coming from, in regards to the normal person being the most discriminated person ever. It does seem, to a degree, that normal is not normal anymore. My question to you is this.......what is normal?

When you use what you wrote in your article, you are saying that being "a straight, white, male, not a drugaddict or alcoholic, if you have a nice job and do not have aids", you are normal. What if I am "a straight, [black], male, not a drugaddict or alcoholic, if [I] have a nice job and do not have aids"? Am I normal? I will assume that you are not being racist in your statement, although you may come across as such. I will make an attempt to define, from my point of view, what normal is.

Normality is defined by each person (as an individual), their environment, and any other influence on their lives. This obviously means that each individuals' ideal of normality differs from one person to the next (with a sprinkle of similarity). Each persons' circumstances are different, as well as each persons' environment will be different at several levels. There are places in this world where women cannot even show their natural facial beauty because of culture and tradition. On the flip side, there are places in the world where women can breast feed their children in public. What is normal, no matter where you are, is that men and women have certain roles in their perspective societies. This does not make them any better or worse, it only makes them more important in the global scheme of things. "Normality is relative" [a quote by nerve_gs (not yet a member of this site, but a co-worker)]. Much respect!

I say that men and women are not equal because it is not about equality in the first place. What we, as humans, do not realize is that men have their roles, and women have their roles in society. Is one persons' role greater than the others? I would wager to say no. Men tend not to be nurturing beings. Nonetheless, does that make them the lesser of the two sexes? Women tend to be the weaker (physically) of the two sexes. Yet again, are they any less of a people than men are? I think that men and women's roles should be saved for a different debate. Then the argument must be made as to what standard is used to measure equality. I say all of this to say that men and women are not equal, because their roles are different, not because one sex is better or worse than the other. Much respect!
