taryour: Impossible!! A Man & A Woman Can Never & Will Never Be Equal. Men and woman are not equal. We are different. But our differences should be equally respected. The same with race. The same with sexuality. Etc. If I was to invent a religion today and have as part of my tenet that men should submit to women as women should be the head . . .now where does that leave us? Is that not clearly biased? Discrimination? Sexist? It's understandble why men would want to accept this teaching as truth but why women ![]() |

Obinoscopy: A man is a man and a woman is a woman. There are certain things that women can do that man can't and vice versa. Based on this premise, I'd say no one is superior to the other. However a man should be accorded the respect a man deserves from a woman and a woman too should be accorded her own respect as well. For example, a girl should be the one to cook in the house and serve the boy even if the boy is her junior; similarly a boy should be the one to do all the manual and energy sapping work in the house even if he has a girl that he seniors. Thank you. I don't know why this is so difficult to understand. Then again, everyone to his/her own ![]() |

steph7: I tot it was only my high school that people used to lie to avoid sports. The choice illness was knee pain, that's when I even heard of juvenile arthritis. The irony of it all was that everyone wanted to be sports club, so they could lazy about since there was only one coach and he couldn't watch everyone, so that when we used to do our bf/gf runs Lol see you. They had to make up a rule of "No bag leaves the school until after sports" and we had to walk like an hour to get to the sports field we used to use then. I kept disturbing my parents to change my bag because I had this Gigantic bag then, finally my dad did and bought me a much smaller one. So what I used to do every sports day (fridays) was go to school with only 2 books, after school and time to leave for the field. I take the books out of the bag and hide them just at the back of the food and nutrition lab and hide the empty bag underneath my singlet and tight. ![]() |

Where you struggle and sweat to open a door to an opportunity, a woman get through at a speed of light without a qualm. Everybody and forces tend to direct her toward a path of least or no resistant. We all see these everyday. Women and men are not and could never be equal. There is equity which is given everybody his or her deserved right. This is where it all ends. |

Sons are not equals to daughters, God have mercy o True, men love challenges sometimes.

Mine was boarding, so we needed a doctors report and my mum said no to faking a doctors report, so my mates and I used to take turns in falling down so they'll stop the early morning jogging, I joined them till I had a real nasty fall and got a scar. From SS2, I started entering class 2 sleep. |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by ijebabe: 4:57pm On Apr 15, 2012 |
StateOfMind: What I understood from what Obinoscopy said is that men and women are different and have different roles. It doesn't mean that men can't cook for women or women can't do hard labour. As long as there is mutual respect. Obinoscopy please clarify. |

Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Obinoscopy(m): 5:03pm On Apr 15, 2012 |
ijebabe: Thanks Ijebabe. I just don't know why they are all excited at my post. There's nothing wrong with a girl serving her junior brothers food, just as there's nothing wrong a boy serving a girl food; the watch word is mutual understanding. As long as there's the understanding that she's just playing her role as a woman and he's playing his role as a man. The fact that she's serving her juniors or the fact that he's doing all the working instead of his juniors should not be understood as being treated like a slave. I repeat, the watch word is mutual understanding. I've seen families where its the girl dat cooks and serve her junior siblings. But she's still being respected as their senior and is accorded her well deserved respect. Offcourse if she and other gals are not in the house or if they're tired or sick, its the guys that do the cooking and serving. Hope I've clarified myself? |

ijebabe: His post was making sense until I saw that part. As far as I'm concerned,the poster with the successive posts on this thread already did justice to the topic. I think if the last paragraph of the original post is modified, the thread will pass across a better message. |

Equality and inferiority is 2 different things, women are not inferior but equality can be subjective to the situation. Poster is talking from marriage perspective and it should not go beyond that. A good husband value and respect his wife which is mutual. |

taryour: Impossible!! A Man & A Woman Can Never & Will Never Be Equal. What? No offense but sister, it people like you who twist the Bible upside down and claim what the Bible hasn't said. In addition to that, you just read the literal interpretation of the Bible. Where in the Bible did God say that a Man is the head of a Woman or did it say, the Man is the head of the HOUSEHOLD, including wive(s), children, maids, what have etc... Is it not the same Bible that said he created ALL MEN EQUAL and his own image? Though God acknowledged that there are slaves/free poor/rich, husband/wives etc... So where did God state all of these you have said? |

Obinoscopy: In your initial post, you used the word 'should' , I interpreted that to be an obligation. Now that you have added 'mutual understanding' , I think its a bit clearer. |

neyostica: How do I disappoint you? Is it wrong for me to encourage women to advocate woman-woman respect; men to advocate man-woman respect; the same way women (and men) are stressing (other) women to be respectful and submissive to men?

Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by MahatmaGhandi: 5:32pm On Apr 15, 2012 |
maclatunji: Men and women are not equal, but there has to be equity. A woman will always have some men she is ahead of in many matters. So, it is not a one-size-fits-all thing. However, if you are talking about Husband and wife, the husband is definitely the leader. You hit the nail on the head with that "if you are talking about Husband and wife, the husband is definitely the leader",we must all realise males and females where made from different materials to perform different functions at home and in society. in regards to the family unit the father is the head of the home,this does not make the wife his slave but partner. No man has the right to demand "wifely" respect from a woman that is not his wife. For the men I advise you to treat the ladies with regards and the women should do all to avoid hurting the ego of men the end result of doing otherwise leaves society with shameful scares. (I stand to be corrected in all these) |

I quite agree that a man and a woman are not equals. But there should be mutual respect. Mothers teach your male children to treat the females as flowers who should b cherished. Also, teach your female children to respect any man no matter his social standing. I love my husband and I'm contented with how we relate. I have no need to be his equal. He gives me all the respect i need and i respect him too. For me his word is final in the family, because he is not selfish |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by habiolah(m): 5:55pm On Apr 15, 2012 |
couldnt read all the responses, but I dont think that the Bible says womenfolk should be subject to menfolk; it says a woman should be subject to her head (husband). How she learns this submission is a totally different question. Methinks the Bible says 'there is neither male nor female' or am I wrong? Gal 3:28 |
