I do not believe that men and equal. I do however, believe they have equal value. I love the differences between men and woman and I wish that more people would celebrate the differences.

If I had a difficult tax return and needed an accountant or tax attorney, I would pick a woman. Women tend to pay more attention to detail which would come in handy in such a situation. I would also choose a woman if I needed someone for a job that required multitasking, attention to detail, etc. On the other hand, if I needed a...

There are things that I would choose a man for but I can't think of a single one that I believe will go unchallenged. If I say a woman is superior to a man in todays social climate, I'm pretty safe - but I wouldn't want to suggest a man was better than a woman at anything.

This is where I think some of the comments came regarding the joke. I mean, find a commercial in which a husband and wife, bf and gf or even a random man and woman in which someone looks stupid, ignorant or incompetent...and find one in which the stupid one is the woman. They don't exist. Women won't stand for a commercial where a woman is made to look less than a man and there have been many boycotts and letter writing complaints. Women don't boycott when the men are made to look stupid and the men just let it go.

Kind of the same with jokes - go to a joke site and look for 'Ten Reasons a _____ is better than a Man' and read the comments. Then look up 'Ten Reasons a _____ is better than a Woman' and read the comments. Men tend to laugh at what they find funny and let the rest go. Some women tend to laugh at what they find funny and let the rest go but there always seems to be some that have to condemn the joke. Seems oversensitive to me but *shrug* I don't know their life...but I don't feel comfortable letting loose with them and since I can't tell those women from the other women - I stick to women I know.
Thanks for this!
