The women I know can do everything a man can do including.... yes, but of the men I now, not many can do what women can do, including the natural ability to care about others, something men have to work at, if they care.you know it really gets my goat when people say in my experience as opposed to in my opinion, unless your experience is as a deity of course.
Why, does experience count for nothing ?
You obviously haven't experienced that much yet then, because what is here in parts of Britain, in Europe and perhaps the Western world is not the rule for the rest of the world. Travel a bit outside of the Western world and see what the world is really like.As for this superiority nonsense , in my experience based on living in a world where a large proportion of the population are men, I am yet to meet one who has actually said or truly believes that they are superior to women.
I am no feminist by a long shot, although I do support some feminist issues in the name of equality, not anything where superiority is involved, because that is just replacing one inequality with another as I seek balance in all things and with although the genders do have their differences, equality of the genders makes humanity whole, that being a couple comprising of male and female stands the best chance of the right decisions if each other's strengths are taken with equal consideration.I also find it quite sad that so called intelligent and enlightened men continue to subscribe to the outdated conspiracy theory that is feminism, one they most probably adopted to help get some action I must add, without giving any thought or reflection to what it actually is saying. In my experience it is men who spout this sort of nonsense who are actually closet misogynists.
But because of some of the things I choose to do, I have actually fought feminist values in situations where UK laws about equality only appear to work one way, not that they appear that way, it is just the way they are implemented, strangely and authoritatively by men, the very gender that is appealing for the equality laws to be invoked.
So despite large leaps and strides in equality that the feminist movement brought about, much of Britain is still misogynistic, even slightly, veiled though it is, the attitudes still exist even in jokes and as an unusual result from the equalising of the genders there has now come about the subject of misandry, a situation where males are now being discriminated against just because they are males and a lot of it is done by males and males in authority.
As for men lacking the natural ability to care , I find this equally offensive and absolute nonsense to boot.
You might care, but does that go for every male you know ? But a question, what would you sooner have a male doctor or a female doctor ?

It would be weird if it was called something like Fiona though wouldn't it?
