Strong, intelligent women can be every bit as capable as men, and in many cases far more so. If you were one of them, you would fully participate in the world, knowing that you are at a disadvantage - not because you are female, but because of the blatant (yet still often unnoticed, incredibly) and increasing sexism that causes warped views such as yours.
Yes, legal rights have changed, and many people think the problem has been 'solved' (that's you, ItDuz), but in fact it has been made worse by men resorting to some pretty dirty tactics (e.g. abusive pornography, rape jokes and calling sexuality liberated women 'sluts') in order to continue 'winning' the gender war - a war which ought not to and need not be fought at all! Women are also to blame, believing the nonsense and physically starving and mutilating their bodies because they think that's what men want. And that's just in 'Western' countries (particularly the US, but the UK is also pretty bad) - in places like Iran and Saudi Arabia, men are so scared of women becoming their equals (or betters) they force them to wear burkas and deny them any semblance of equal rights.
Still think sexism and sex discrimination isn't a problem? The very fact people have so many debates like these ought to be enough, even if you're ignorant or in denial of the realities.
That'll do for now - though I could easily go on; I haven't even mentioned sexuality...
Are men better than women or is it the other way 'round?
