Men & Women are not equal and should not be considered as such

Thank you Con for the well rounded points. I'd like to address the fact that I see your several of your points as being very valid and accurate. I do agree that while the meaning of equality is set in stone, "Human Equality" is a much more specific reference to the issue at hand and unless you don't agree with me then I think we should use "Human Equality" for future references in this debate. I agree that Women and Men alike have human rights, I also firmly believe the Women and Men should be treated with legal equality. The social equality may just be the pinpoint of the issue here, Men and Women aren't currently socially equal. Con has made a case of Women needing special treatment. I don't believe that it's an assumption made by anyone that they need it, but more of an understanding by at least a majority of Men that Women deserve it. Women are given special treatment that Men either don't want or wouldn't feel comfortable receiving. I agree with Con that Women CAN very well possess the talents that employers want however, I disagree that Women haven't been allowed to cultivate their minds properly. This is the 21st century, I might buy into a Woman excusing herself for not having desirable talents for good jobs in the 1950s when Women truly were shoved into that corner and taught that Girls cook and Boys roll their sleeves up and make the money. This isn't the case anymore and hasn't been for a long time. In America there are over 270 women"s commissions, but only one for men in New Hampshire. http://www.avoiceformen.com... There are over 700 Women"s Studies programs on colleges and universities throughout the United States teaching thousands or tens of thousands of classes from the gender feminist perspective, but not one program or class, teaching Men"s studies from the masculine perspective. The U.S. Department of education reports that boys face a significantly harder time in early education than girls. http://aspe.hhs.gov... On a minor note, I agree with Con on the fact we we need capable Soldiers, every single one. Continuing on: I counter Cons claim that Women make on average 77 cents to every dollar than Men make with my own: The estimates and measurements that have been made on the behalf of Women to show the economic inequality between the two sexes are bias and inaccurate at best. http://www.businessinsider.com... To explain simply, Men choose higher paying jobs.....the ones that result in high death counts each year. Men make up 93% of all industrial deaths and accidents - NOISH. The Top Ten most dangerous jobs in America according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics are Fishers, loggers, aircraft pilots, farmers and ranchers, roofers, iron and steel workers, refuse and recyclable material collectors, industrial machinery installation and repair, truck drivers, construction laborers. All job fields dominated by Males. Men are more likely to work in uncomfortable, undesirable, and isolated locations for long periods of time that pay more money...like Iraq and Afghanistan. I served 4 deployments for 12 months each except for 2006-2008 when we pulled 15 months and I banked on average over $62,000 tax free each time! That doesn't include the fact that my wife and all my children get free dental, free medical, free vision, I had full health dental and vision, all expenses paid...meals, lodging, I banked it all. The Army has been open to Females since 1948 and the financials are equal across the board for the Army in today's day and age. - The average full-time working Man works 6 hours longer than the average full-time working Woman. - Men are more likely to take jobs that require them to work on weekends and evenings than Women. - In the same career categories, Men are more likely to choose higher and higher paying specializations than Women. - Unmarried Women who've never had a Child actually make more money than unmarried Men according to the Census Bureau. - Women business owners make on average less than half of what Men business owners...which makes no sense because without a boss there can't be any discrimination in the workplace. So Men in this aspect make more money than Women with the total absence of discrimination. Studies have however, been done to show why: http://www.cbsnews.com... http://online.wsj.com... There is no wage gap, it's a myth according to Business insider: http://www.businessinsider.com... Carrie Lukas is the Executive Director of the Independent Women's Forum in the Wall street Journal and agrees: http://online.wsj.com... CBS News also advocates: http://www.cbsnews.com... So it stands to good reason now that the wage gap has been effectively debunked and should never be used again to support the movement for equality lest the movement be slandered for using fiction to support their cause. I have to take a strong stance with Con on the U.S. Census Bureau reporting only 44.9% of women being married, I believe this calculation to be very accurate and that was only 2009, imagine what the numbers might look like now. That being said I find it only logical to report that Women are the party filing for divorce in about 66% of divorce cases: http://www.pobronson.com... I'd like to take this time to draw bold attention to the fact that Con has made an excellent example, he/she has made a case of Women not having a husband to rely upon and that households with a Husband and Wife have a larger income...and then asks why should Gay Women work harder? Setting aside the example, I don't feel this makes much sense, the wage gap is gone...it's not there, if Women find themselves making less money than a Man then there are echelons of evidence and study to support that it is mere choice that provides those results. I suppose we ought to create a subsidy for Women who make less money so they don't have to take the hard jobs that Men choose, but we already have that in the form of Welfare. I have drawn a conclusion at this time, after carefully reading Con's statements it stands to reason that Con believes Women should be given equal pay regardless of circumstances and there should be a compensation factor to fill the gaps between Men and Women....a handicap if you will, well we already do that. It's called the Male to Female employment quota and it dictates that Women (Regardless of qualification) be given the exact same opportunity as a Man who is to be scrutinized for qualification criteria...simply because she is a Woman. And that is the world we live in today...but that is not equality. In conclusion of this round, Con has stated that Women aren't allowed to cultivate their minds properly because of encouragement provided to them as children and teenagers to pursue domiciliary duties. This isn't the case, there is no evidence to support this, this is 2014 not the early 1900s. Women are afforded more educational opportunities than Men, you need only look at one of the many "Women Only" scholarships for college, "Men Only" scholarships don't exist. Con has used the Wage Gap to support further points, I have provided sufficient evidence and explanation to support that the Wage Gap is a myth. I'm not honestly secure in my understanding of Con's last point concerning Women, their being unmarried and then the whole Gay Woman issue. Unless Con is trying to insinuate that being an unmarred Woman is a legitimate claim to disability then I can probably live without really understanding that one. Back to you Con.
