I know women in the past have worked really hard to make the women of today equal to men, and all our rights, etc. & I have tons of respect for them.
But I'd really rather just get married and be a housewife for the rest of my life.
Who decides what is equal in today's world? Who decides what goes and what doesn't? Who decides what is okay and what isn't?
If a man and woman are worth equally as much to a company, why is the average salary of a woman less than the average salary of a man? If a man and a woman are equally as beneficial as the child rearing parent, why is it assumed that it is the mother? Why is the standard to have a male doctor or dentist, and female assistants, nurses, and techs? Is a person with lots of modern book knowledge but not much experience equal to a person with many many years of experience but no modern book knowledge?
Now with that in mind, should everything be equal? What about the natural differences between men and women, young and old, and our natural strength and weaknesses? Shouldn't we focus and encourage ones stronger points, while not being so demanding or the weaker points?
In a world that proves time and time again that life is not fair, do we have a right to demand equality in all things?
Then again, thanks to Newton, we know that everything has an equal and an opposite.

The worst for of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
