I 100% agree

Equal pay for equal jobs. Equal opportunity for both men and Women and on and on. But it is funny how "Equal" is treated in the courts when it comes to divorce. between 70-80% of Women are given custody of the kids AND many of them also get maintenance (not child support - maintenance). This maintenance comes even though they have 2 arms and legs but just can't seem to find time to get a job. It seems to me that Womens groups want the best of both worlds. Equality is no longer good enough, they must be given victim status as well. Just like Mrs. Bobbit who decided to saw off a guys evenrude and was totally let off. Can you imagine if you or I decided to carve off a bozo only to later toss it out the window of a moving car? Something tells me you and I would be stripe wearing boytoys for many years. Equality is one of those really tough issues. In theory its great and totally logical but in fact society teaches and grooms each gender to play much different roles. These gender roles start at a very early age on beings that are vastly different biological entities. I would say BOTH genders have attitudes that need changing before true equality can happen. Make no mistake....the inequality that exists is a two sided issue that will require some major concessions on both sides. This is not just a case of "Supreme Whitey" being the roadblock.
