I'm sexist against my own gender.

I think women should be equal in society. And they mostly are. Those like you, who want to stay home and take care of the house, can. But those who don't want, should be able to work their ass off in the real world.

It should be to each her own. If you want to be a stay at home mom then be so, just don't force others too.

Not really normal, no. You're kind of an ass for judging what other people should do with their lives regardless of gender.

Oddly enough, I've never had any trouble meeting good, honest, caring men who treat women neither as goddesses nor as whores but as people. Maybe it's because I've never assumed they were "disrespectful, cheating shit bags" whose role in life was to be my provider as I loafed around the house polishing my nails and eating bon-bons.

Men haven't "stepped down" from anything. Maybe you just don't meet good men because you see people as their sex first and as fellow human beings second. Respect all people and their paths in life, and you'll gain respect in kind. Assume that women should stay at home and gestate while men work to support your lazy ass, and you'll probably find the ones who adhere to all the uglier male stereotypes, too -- philandering, emotional coldness, and disrespect for women.

How can you hope for anything but disrespect from men when you hold your own gender in such contempt? I don't respect you; why should they?

I don't think men have stepped down at all, I think you may just be involving yourself with the wrong crowds. :/ I think we should kill this idea of chivalry as some special thing that women get because they're women. How about we're all chivalrous, to everyone, regardless of gender, age, or attractiveness because it's the nice thing to do?

We do as genders have different strengths and weaknesses, but we do as individuals as well. In some families based on personality alone the man could very easily be the one better suited for the caretaker role, people are such myriad creatures they sort of naturally resist being easily lumped into a category. The more self aware one is, the harder it becomes to fit those categories.

All that the equality movement sought to gain in the beginning was equal treatment in the eyes of the law. Right to hold a job, right to own property, right to use a credit card, right to say no. There are still women in many countries that don't have these things. :/

Socially? We're all kinds of factioned and fucked up, and nobody even knows what equality is anymore. Feminists are fighting their own ideaologies thanks to the vocal extremists bickering over trivialities. Many Men's Right's activists are disenfranchised with the feminist movement because of these extremists. There aren't enough egalitarian thinkers letting their voices be heard and we are divided.

The funny thing is men have become the more restricted social group now. While women are becoming freer to express themselves in more different ways without judgement, men who try to cross that gender barrier are still met with persecution. Can we stop has gender roles and just be people guise?

Well, it's a hugely complicated issue and it'll never be summed up properly by me in a paragraph but I think there are many areas in which women exceed men's abilities just as there as some things men are better at. I understand the drive to make us equal but I don't agree we should all be the same. We should have equal rights, but not be equal as in identical.

One thing that often gets missed is the idea of both genders playing to their own strengths for mutual benefit. We're not at war with each other, nor should we be.

And why can't there be a female president? The only reason I could think of is that people from some third world countries would not respect a female president. There are some differences in men and women, but that does not mean that a woman can't do as much a man. For some things a woman has to work a little harder, and for other things a man has to work harder than a woman.

I feel similar. Men and women are different scientifically, so not everything can be "equal", as a women I have no problem admitting men tend to be physically stronger and more logical - there is all kinds of evidence on that. Women tending to be gentle and emotional-thinkers - it's complementary to men's so they can live together in balance...

Honey, if what you want in life is a husband who will work whilst you stay at home caring for kids, that's fine. But don't take away the opportunity for a strong career from women who want's to support her family herself and don't shoot down the men who want to stay with their kids instead of being in the workplace.

I am to, like for example i would never in my life want a female president and I'm a female. I just feel like there's just some things in life that men are better at and it annoys the hell out of me when girls are like, Omg "I can do anything a man can do" when honestly half the time they can't.

Don't put me in charge of kids. It's not gonna end well. I would like to have a kid, but s/he would need a father who could help me when s/he started showing these things called "emotions".
My point is, I believe we should look at each other as individuals. There are men who are "feminine", and women who are "masculine". And they aren't necessarily homosexual. Personally, I think of myself as androgynous, leaning towards feminine.
