Welcome to Gaia! ::

I feel that women have too much power, because they are women they have the ability to do things that man has never been able to do. example: my mother got into a fist fight with my dad, he didn't hit her back or even attempt to fight back and got beat up pretty badly. the cops came and watched the fight go on until my father had enough of it and with one punch knocked my mom out. he was arrested and charged with assault and battery. The reason why my mom wasn't charged is because she is a women.

the same thing goes for children being fought over for custody. you and I both know that it is 1000's of father out there that would have been a way better parent then the mother but they always give the mom the kids.

One man was fighting custody for his daughter. he had 3 jobs, the mother had no job and was on welfare,food stamps and financial aid. the mom got the kid and the father was denied visitation right because he snapped in court when the judge ordered custody over the kid to the mother.

(how do I know all of this, because the father and mother are also mine. the daughter is my sister.)

this actually goes on alot in the world.

There is no equality, for men or for women.
Women are given less pay, and lower job positions because of the fact that they can possibly get pregnant and would need time off for that, or possibly leave to raise the child at home. The glass ceiling, as it were.

Men on the other hand, if they were to get into a fist fight with a female, if they hit her, they are arrested for battery, and if they get beaten up, they are weak. They are rarely given full custody (my dad was an exception to this, thank The Great DustBunny.), while unfit mothers are given the children. (sometimes even when they don't want custody!!) This is because women are thought to be better care givers, it part of the same reason some cannot get better jobs.

So we end up with men in jail, or picked on, who aren't able to see their kids while they have no money because the court is gutting it all for child care, and women with all of the kids, unable to get a higher paying job to support them.

These aren't the only things that are unequal, they are simply what I was able to think of right now. I may return later with more examples, but my point is that we need not feminists as much any more, as equal rights activists, of and for both genders, for the different inequalities.
