Although women's equality had vastly progressed from the demand of the vote, we are still, largely, oppressed. Women are not welcomed in certain areas of the workforce (brokerage, accounting, CEO and other corporate positions, etc), and are outright demanded admittance into others. However, this is oftentimes dependent on the company. The mysongyistic beliefs held by the earlier generations still exist, because they're still around educating their children, setting us up for disaster. I think the pay inequality is somewhere around $.80/$1.00.
Dressing sexy is physically objectifying to women, but, I'm sad to say, this is largely the fault of women. Those who know better set a bad example for those who don't.
And, personally, I think women should have to praticipate in the draft. I sure as hell dont want to go to war, but neither to the majority of men. If we want equal rights, we should be prepared to make some sacrifices (I think dragonz20 brought this up). And, in the dating scene, whomever does the asking should be prepared to pay. And free beer and tacos for all!
And to whomever stated that men focus better than women, that's just BS. Focus and natural skill are not based on sex, although interest and dominance (in certain areas) seem to be.
That's all I have to say.

misogynistic I haven't heard that word in a while. Btw..... what kind of sacrifices are you willing to make? thats like opening a can of worms my dear.
Yes, I agree with your comment: "whomever does the asking should be prepared to pay."

And lost of men don't cook and clean because it's still thought of as "womens' work".

This is so untrue junko. I work in a elementary school and I always see fathers (not most, all father's/men in my school) participate in school activities one way or another, eating lunch with their children and even be the room mom (*ahem room dad). There are alot of stay at home dad these days. That do the household chores. Well... as you put it "womens' work".
