No, you aren't. You argue in hypotheticals which exist solely in the abstract microcosm that lives in your head, and are unconcerned with genuine statistics. What's unsettling to me is that I'd always thought you were a decently rational person, but that doesn't seem to be the case. And if you were just to hold this baseless opinion without proselytizing it like the new gospel, that'd be fine, but I've been seeing it everywhere, and it's incredibly insulting and archaic.
Perhaps I'm rational on other subjects but not this one? Or perhaps some of what I'm saying is true?
I'm concerned for equality. But, unlike most, I focus more on making males have the benefits females have instead of working it the other way around, because people are never talking about how men should get the benefits females have but are talking about how females should have everything males have.
Reaching equality doesn't just mean that females get the benefits males have, it's also about males getting the benefits females have.
I understand that. But you need to realize that historically and presently, men have had far more advantages than women in pretty much every sector in society. Women being "allowed" to wear perfume and compete in their own sports divisions is not comparable to a feeble presence in government, academia and finance, significantly lower pay, and higher occurrences of forced physical rape, among many other terrible things.
Ladies what do you find most attractive

I'm not trying to get the last word. I'm trying to understand the situation completely.
