In the employment world it is better to be a woman unless you are looking to be a senior executive. As a recruiter, I see most managers want to hire a woman if the candidates have an equal technical background a woman always wins out. If you are an Asian you are given even more credit. The best people for jobs are Asian females between 25-40. Unemployment stats bear this out.

Men had never had a choice in the whole abortion matter so just the fact that women currently have the choice means that they have more rights.

It's between a woman and her doctor.
And the man has no say so therefore, he has less rights than women do.

depends on the circumstance honestly. There's discrimination against both genders everywhere depending on the place and topic.

A woman can walk down the street and no one cares, may even get a few greetings. A man walks down the street alone and he's regarded with suspicion and fear unless he's with a pet, small child or a woman, then he's "safe". Never occurs to anyone that the guy walking his dog or the woman taking a walk is just as capable of robbing you as the guy walking alone is.

No, they're not the best people for the jobs....they are the most subservient, quiet, submissive, obedient, willing to take abuse, willing to accept low pay...in other words what men want in women so they can easily be taken advantage of in every way. They are lowering the standards of respect and equality in the work place.

A man can walk ALONE and have a whole lot less fear of being raped than a woman.

Me personally. I think every women should be in the house serving the man. Get in the kitchen woman, and make me a God damn Pie! Clean my shoes, and vacuum the basement. They should not be allowed to speak, unless spoken too, and when they go outside they should wear a burqa.

Just my opinion.
