NO NO NO
in the 1920's, women won equal rights. they wanted the same freedoms as men. they got them. they should also serve there country just the same as men. some women want to serve in the military, but when a draft comes, some dont want to participate. i feel that women like that shouldnt have the same liberties as men. they wait around for someone else to hand freedom to them. when a draft comes, women should be drafted as equally as men.

i don't think men (or boys) should be allowed to discriminate against women being in the army until they've either
a) been through half the stuff women have to go through or
b) have actually been in combat and realized that the violence affects everybody the same.
&& this is one of the dumbest things i've ever read in my life.

yes. every single child that has lost a parent, every parent that has lost a child and every family that has to suffer through every day without their loved one definitely would agree with your statement, ironman07 . . .

I believe men should only be allowed in combat situations. I don't have many good arguments to support my belief but something makes me feel uncomfortable sending women into combat. The Israelis tried it and it worked out terribly.

Qualify that, against all the things that I have posted, your reply was over simplistic, and you just spouted off exactly what you were thinking, with out thinking why.

Exactly. Women typically work harder for grades in school which is why they do better. There is no difference in innate ability. From my experiance at John Hopkin Univerity's Center for talented You summer program, there were just as many males as females but more males took the science and math classes while girls took the literary courses.

Wow, you think you would have picked up on something by now... Usually when someone has no idea how to respond, they start by either attacking the grammer/writing skills and/or ask for "proof". You killed two birds with the same post, congratulations! All you have to do is type in "gender smarter" into the search engine of your choice (I did aol search out of convienience). You will find plenty that explains how men are by no means smarter than women. Then if you care to notice any local high school, you may notice that more girls are the ones with the higher gpa's. So maybe what I said before needs to be corrected because I enjoy actually admitting when something I did can stand to be corrected...Guys and Gals are roughly equal in smarts, with different concentrations in different areas; women do however apply their smarts more, especially in a school setting. As far as the usage of the brain...i think i read somewhere that women on average use 14% of the brain at a time and men use 12 %. I am not really using that as an arguement tho because I don't feel like being meticulous about my grammar or looking it up to "prove" it to anyone. As far as contradicting my thesis...may I just say that I did not even have a thesis...I know...I need to be put into exile for that...

All of this has to do with perception and stereotypes. Women are normally pushed into writing and creative careers while men often are pushed into math and science. It doesn't mean either is innately different, only moved in certain directions. Also there are more exceptions to the rule than people notice.

i read domething about womens brains develop faster from birth so they are smarter then men, but only for a little while. the male brain takes longer to fully develop. and i read something about women use their creative side of their brain more then their intellectual(i dont know what the word is but it means math and science). like that professor who said that men were better then women at math and science and got the **** yelled out of him i think thats the study he was refering too.

Blue is right. Women tend to use their language centres and have far more connections between the brain hemispheres than men. However, isn't is proven that men have higher stamina levels and can feel less pain? I think it is something to do with the hormones.

quote: Men don't use as much of their brains as women.
I don't believe that either. I do think that most men use different parts of their brains more often than women and vice-versa. However, there are extreme exceptions.

Anyway, enough about me, this just bugged me too much... quote: Note: when Hydrok says that women are not Pysically, Mentally and Emotionally equal he talking a about basic natural diffrences naturally women are more emotional then men for example I know plenty of guys who get hurt and don't cry women brake a nail and cry (generalization but it's true!). Naturally men are more muscular a.k.a stronger then women now on the mentally I'm tied up because both sexes have done great things for mankind men just happen to have done more of them from fire on up. Just pointing all that out
Let's see, where should I start? Let's start with the part about emotional differences. I honestly believe that there ARE no emotional differences between men and women. It's just that from birth, we have been socialized to beleive that it it acceptable for women to cry and men to not. As for the whole "brake"ing a nail thing, that is more of a "I'm such a priss that the slightest flaw in my physical appearance will kill me" cry than a "Ow!" cry. (Also, there are few ladies who actually do this so PLEASE don't use embarassing generalizations like that). Men are stronger because from the beginning they were expected to do the physical labor because women were involved in child labor... Now you can't tell me that women could begin to develop more strength in today's world where a woman can schedule the date she will have her child, have a cessarian section, go home the same day or one day later, feed it baby formula and hire a nanny. As for the mental aspect, women have been proven to be smarter. Once it became more acceptable for women to be involved in intellectual jobs, they have excelled at it. Now, you look around and notice almost equality in the areas of medicine and law. Business is still very male dominated for various reasons that I would love to go in more detail about but won't at this time. Now if you happen to have a problem with something I said, let me know, I'll try to get back to you... Now back to my paper...
Hmm your entire post just contradicted your thesis. And uh provide a soource on the info that a woman is smarter than a man.
