<p>“I just wanted to say that the idea of equality is often taken in a literal sense. Men and women are not equal and never will be, that’s just because of genetics.”</p>
<p>Men and women are EQUAL, but that is not to say that they are not DIFFERENT. I understand things like not punching a girl, since most girls (myself included) can’t fight back on an equal level. But things like giving up a bus seat to someone who is perfectly able-bodied are completely unneccessary and I would not expect it from anyone. Thigns like opening doors, not cursing excessively/being sexually explicit, helping someone with luggage/groceries are just common courtesy- but it should go BOTH ways. I appreciate it when someone holds the door for me, but I also make an effort to hold the door for others- male or female.</p>
