Do you think men and women should be treated equal under the law?

I think the tide is changing recently as women tend to be more and more conservatives, maybe too little too late however. Voting was de facto tied to military conscription so there was an accountability to it. You couldn't vote based on abstract ideas and utopias, your vote had real consequences, like going to war possibly but this now apply to men as well in the modern world.

At least in the US, it's not the case that women are tending to vote more conservative though. If white women consistently voted like white men here then the Republicans would have been in power continuously for the last 50 years at least.

No - it's a civil right of a woman to be protected to have their own bathrooms, toilets etc.

It's also a civil right of a woman to be appropiately spported by the state by bearing children.

Men are men and can accept these leniencies.

An "old fashioned wife" does the cooking, chores, and the majority of tending to the children.

However, an "old fashioned husband" is the sole breadwinner.

In my real life, a couple of guys expect the former from their wives while still insisting they work outside the home too. They want her to pick up the kiddos from daycare after work and go home and cook them dinner while they go out for a beer or two with their work buddies.

It is easy to see why this doesn't lead to a happy marriage.

Yes definitely

Feminism works for a certain extend as the token of peace and a measure of moral health, as long as women know how to appreciate their own gender. Other than appreciating ones own given gender, any topic brought into feminism is an ethical transgression, having no concern for women by nature.

Mary Daly, for example, argues in Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism that women were traditionally defined throughout intellectual history as being subversive of rationality, impartiality, and morality as traditionally conceived. Daly argues that women ought to embrace, as essential to women’s natures and good, some of the very qualities that she says men have ascribed to women as essential to women’s natures and bad. Daly suggests valuing both women’s capacities for childbearing and birth (as opposed to capacities to engage in war and killing) and women’s emotionality (versus rationality) (Daly 1979).

Legally to protect women is necessary for women to appreciate their own gender, so forth, men can also better appreciate our own based on a more individual ground, without being subjected to a given social obligation to subjugate women. Better men and better women, make better sexual experiences, and sex is the true modern theme. (Cut all the bullsh).

The Western hemisphere is already a matriarchy. White women (and minorities) have all rights they want and their demands aren´t yet satisfied.

The privileged would never accept that they have privileges, average human is too proud for do it.

Of course men and women should be treated equally under the law. The best candidate should be the one elected for the job, no matter if the candidate is woman or man. But equal means equal, not like it is today in some western countries...equal means we need to have equal amount of employees for a certain type of job, otherwise is discrimination. No...if men are usually doing a certain job better, then they should do it, unless the woman candidate is objectively better. Men and women need to get paid equally if they're doing a similar type of job: like doctors, teachers, programmers, etc... I don't see any reason why wouldn't they...
Everyone should be allowed to vote, of course. Every society has it's own struggles. I understand in the west women tend to be more leftists but it's not everywhere the case. Women here are lot more conservative and religious compared to the men. Churches are mostly filled with women, men are definitely in minority. That's usually where people get "indoctrinated" and most priests here have the mentality of a taliban, to say the least.

Yes, but I think we should also scale for some things based on measure like IQ, etc… human rights are universal of course, but for things like voting we should be more attentive to who is making the decisions in society. The key thing with it is, men are more biased to both the “extremely dumb” and “extremely smart” part of the intelligence spectrum more, while women are more evenly distributed at average/a bit above average. If a woman falls on the “extremely smart” side, she is capable of the same things men on that side do— but if she falls on the “extremely dumb” side, well, then the biological differences become more obvious and should be accounted for. Same with men, if they are on the too dumb side they should be helped to achieve the best of their realistic ability.

Equal rights means women should equally be sent off to die in war (which will happen soon) and that's not right. Women and men are fundamentally different in physiology, psychological make up and spiritual predisposition. Making woman and men equal is trying to erase God's creation where there's a difference between the genders, trying to create this androgynous species is satanic and goes against creation.
