  1.  @dkexpat2755  Perhaps you need counseling.

  2. I feel 55% female and 45% male. I still understand the female side better since I was born that. But males have some genuine issues as well. Neither side should be dismissed.

  3.  @eliesh3833  Even then some women became leaders. Not a lot but a few.

  4.  @morbid_x  I know a woman firefighter and construction worker. Also women have babies and raise screaming children.

  5. Many men are as sentimental as women. They just don't acknowledge that their emotions influence their decisions and convince themselves that their decisions were made on logic only. I am talking about men in the USA.

  6. Plenty of women are interested in politics.

  7. In India women do a lot of farming. My mother's friend is a dairy farmer.

  9. Depends on if they are being kept out. I can't vote for a woman of she is not on the ticket.

  10. @hk You are suggesting that women start a whole parallel world without any men? Actually women did start their own town in Africa. Did you hear of the gym called Curves in the USA? It was started by women for women. So men sued Curves because they weren't allowed to join.

  11. Move to Afghanistan if you like society being run by men.

  12.  @koushikdas1992  Conservative women are also politicians. So ...

  13. Like the Taliban?

  14. Well, Afghanistan is a good example of society being run by only men...

  15.  @fas8437  A lot. Conservatives quote the Bible in my country saying that women should stay home.

  16. I knew a woman in construction. The men harassed her quite a bit. Many women don't want to work in construction but if some do maybe they get harassed too much.

  17.  @benbunyip  Sometimes.

  18. @hk Well, I was neutral on Curves. On one hand I can understand not wanting to be harassed on the other hand it is slippery slope leading to more discrimination. Interesting, I didn't think you were pro-equality person but correct me if I am wrong.

  19. I guess you would prefer the Taliban?

  20. There are women slaughter house workers in the USA. They showed them when they caught Covid.

  21.  @mmbtraveler  What study shows this?

  22.  @mmbtraveler  Just because you aren't doesn't mean you can assume.

  23. Not all women. Don't generalize.

  24.  @iszotic  You are behind the times. Almost no one believes in blank slate theory anymore.

  25.  @lubinlambertis9839  Where I live an all female party wouldn't work. Most politicians here are married. Most women politicians here do not have young children. So most of what you say does not apply where I am.

  26.  @lubinlambertis9839  I never said that I believe in quotas.

  27.  @lubinlambertis9839  You don't have to sacrifice family if you have no children or your children are grown.

  28. There should be the option.

  29. You wouldn't have civilization without women and men. It takes two to make a child. Besides the most male based society I know of is the Taliban. How modern are they?

  30. @hk Even conservative women run for office. But some conservative women are biased against women politicians. Edit: Most women would be willing to vote for a woman in their party.

  31.  @viewmodeimages  I know a woman firefighter. She didn't take her children to the firehouse when she was on duty. She didn't have small children then. I guess her husband watched them. Edit: She was also a politician in the state legislature.

  32. @hk Only problem is they face more obstacles.

  33. @hk Sexist people don't take women seriously. They don't promote women in jobs as often. Women are sexually harassed more often.

  34.  Yt user  I am not for quotas.

  35. @hk Oh, so you didn't mean it when you said women should set up their own businesses and pay women more. Now you say that it's discrimination. Interesting...

  36. @hk I don't know if men could invest in Curves but I imagine they could because it was never mentioned as a problem. The reason Curves was started was because a lot of women were being sexually harassed at the co-ed gyms. That is why they didn't allow male members.

  37. But some do.

  38. @hk I am not saying all men are bad. I know plenty of nice men. Not all women are bad either, you know.

  39. @hk I am not against men and I am a liberal feminist. Feminism to me means equality to men.

  40. @hk Some liberals say that. Some just hope numbers will be closer to equal in the future.

  41. I know a woman in construction, the men harassed her a lot.

  42. @hk What does that have to do with women? I know women and men who work that much.

  43. I don't worship your god so he cannot put a man above me or me over a man. Everyone should rule themselves only.

  44. I know a woman who was in construction. She was harassed a lot by the men.

  45. More than 50% of world leaders are not female.

  46.  @broardside2809  You only count Western leaders as world leaders? Edit: In your first quote you mention world leaders. Now you change it to Western leaders.

  47.  @DetectiveConan199  Interests are influenced by gender but many people don't confirm to gender stereotypes.
