But men and women aren't equal, and they never have been.

Men can do things women can't do, women can do things men can't do. It's yin and yang, two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other.

I have nothing but respect for women. I've seen childbirth.....that is intense and surreal. I don't know if a man could handle that, and I wouldn't want to be the one to test it.

What nobody seems to want to admit is that it's a team effort. You find your role and fulfill it. A good pairing results in a couple that compliments each other and fills the gaps in capabilities. A good paring - that's the trick.

Of course I would agree that men and women are not literally biologically the same in terms of their sexual functions.

However, men and women are equal (or should be), in terms of their political rights, the way the law treats them, and the employment opportunities they have available to them.

I believe the vast majority of those of us fortunate enough to live in the 1st world believe all or some of that, which is why I am comfortable calling them feminists (even if they don't realize it themselves yet).

I have yet to be shown any rights that men have which are not afforded to women.

I would agree that we are pretty good toward women in this country. Thanks to advances in our laws owing to prior feminist advocacy over a period of a century or more, men and women are broadly equal under the law here in the U.S. However:

1. In many countries around the world today, it is a very different story. Women can't own property, obtain a divorce, reveal their hair/skin/faces in public, or even drive a car. Comparing ourselves with such countries is the clearest illustration of the benefits we enjoy thanks to first-wave and second-wave feminist advocacy.
2. Stepping beyond laws and rights for a second: there are still a lot of lingering social attitudes which discriminate against women. I'm not going to call anyone out right now, but I encounter such attitudes on this website on nearly a daily basis. This is broadly speaking what the Third Wave of feminism is about. I don't subscribe to every tenet of the Third Wave but they have important points, too.
