Never trust a person that doesn't like animals. (Unless they have a verifiable bad experience with one, like being bitten. I guess they get a pass)

The "Unwind" Series is based kinda like a what if around this opinion. Very good and thought inducing

I will probably get downvoted, and I’m sorry if I am misinterpreting this, but I kind of agree! (I swear that I don’t mean to say anything rude, ever!)

Well that's just science. Is it controversial to say that there are physical differences between men and women? I teach anatomy - am I about to get cancelled?

We can have social and legal and financial equity without being biologically identical.

The trouble is, many people use the biological difference as an excuse for social differences.

The word "equal" here is unnecessary. There are physical and biological differences between male, female, intersex and numerous other sexes, but not one single individual fits in the same physical definition box neatly. There are female individuals who are larger and stronger than common males (I fit in that category) due to more natural testosterone. There are some males who are more "traditionally feminine" as well. And then there are more differences between gender expression, but the word "equality" is about offering proper opportunities, treatment and rights. There is literally no need for the word "equality" here unless this person really means that there are inferior and superior sexes which is questionable.

Women grow life inside of their bodies and then birth a 7 pound human - don't tell me we aren't physically strong! Don't even get me started on what many women endure physically every 28 days or so.

I think we're equal but different. Male and female bodies both have their pros and cons.

Can’t hate on this guy. I mean he doesn’t come right out and say that women will always be superior, but it’s implied, right?

I mean that's quite obvious, it's not really controversial. I mean men are never going to be able to give birth right?

If men can be women and vice versa, where is the difference anyways?

what does that mean, physically not equal- so one is considered inferior to the other , is what it means. - and i BET that he ment, that the body capable of creating a human child and carrying it to term for 9 months is the inferior one. f**k that. having different bodies is not the same, at not being able to be equal.

True, men are simply not able to produce a human being and squeeze it through a usually tiny opening. Their bodies are too unflexible, they would die. Their bodies are useful for certain hard labour, but not more than that, I'm afraid.

Screw equality. Too much time has been wasted on equality. I'm after equity. When we all have equity, life will be much more egalitarian.

So misogyny and patriarchy are justified because some men are stronger than some women? Men get paid more than women in office jobs, for instance, because they’re potentially physically stronger even though that’s irrelevant? If physical strength is a measure of superiority, shouldn’t one of those numb nuts who pull aircraft along runways to get into the record books be World Leader?

I think he should have said they can never be the same thing, and that is true. Equality is a different concept, and he does try to make himself clear later. Vive la difference!

That's not an opinion... That's just a fact???

So males are physically inferior because they are unable to bear children? Fascinating. (Biological superiority is a dangerously stupid idea)

Yes. Women have a much higher pain threshold and can give birth.

On a large scale, we are probably never going to achieve social equity either. Sad, but I think it's true.

I disagree. Yes physically we are different obviously. But not every men has the same physical strength either. Equality can only exist by taking equity in account. Every group of people has their specific needs and only by taking that in account we are creating equality. Barely anyone even talks about that.

i personally have transcended gender.

I think people should read “Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.” It’s a short story about how equality isn’t always fair. Really good,

This is true and unfortunately it's a conversation not a lot of people are willing to have.

How about just admittin that you put not just your foot in your mouth, but your entire leg, or better yet, just said something else in the first place, instead of trying futilely to save your mistake?
