Gender Equality

Living in the USA let's you observe some very peculiar social setups. One if them happens to be the proclamation of gender equality. This drives me up the wall.

I am not a misogynist by any stretch of the imagination. But the vehement claims of women and men being equal is not something I agree with. This is mainly because equality has come to mean sameness in this society. I believe that men and women, like all other species are created equal but different. Nature creates two genders to complement each other and thus distribute the responsibilities of a species; I doubt this is any different for humankind.

If in the name of equal rights, everyone abandons their individuality to become "same", some part of evolutin is slowly dying out.
