Well it all depends on the man or woman in question,
I could honestly say if you take a look at my mom who raised 3 kids in which one who was hearing impeared,she did a great job bieng divorced and having to fight for her alamony.and then you can take another woman who had less hardship to raise 1 kid and do a horrible job.Same applies for a man.
To get to the point is Yes women should be treated as equals to Men, Because there is no way a man can do what they can do we may have the physical strenght but they got the brains and then some so in my opinion they are probably much more superior to man in several ways.So they deserve to be treated as Equals.
Think of this Guy's would you be able to give child birth?
I think not they said that if men would have to bear children we would die from the pain.its sad to say but the only reason women have now stsrted to surpass pass men in professions is due to them being held back by men who were suffering from a supperiority complex.
