I'm curious to know how and why we aren't equal, I'm assuming you're saying that as a way to say "women are below me" but again, I'm just assuming so it could be that I'm entirely wrong. In recent decades we've been seeing that
1) women and men have fairly similar IQs, with women recently scoring higher
2) women have higher EQs, which is the basis of a proper and healthy work and general life
3) if you look at the religious aspect you'll see that God made Eve from Adams "tzela" , which means "side" or "half" thus making women equal to men. Or for instance on Galatians 3:28 where it says that there is "....no man or woman, for we're all made in the likeness of God"
I could keep going on and on and on but it's too early for me to go properly looking for resources and evidence.
Equality has to be defined. If you mean equality before the law, we are not equal, women have far more privileges over men to make up for the other inequalities that supposedly plague us physically/societally. Such as men being bigger, stronger, often more intelligent(which isn’t relevant but is still factual), but more violent/disagreeable, etc. These are things that are inextricably related to each other, the reason why boys/men are taught to not hit women or be careful with their strength for example, is because the difference is so large in so many different fields that an avg teenaged boy is already vastly superior to your avg adult woman in terms of physicality.
If you mean equality of spirituality, I’m sorry to say but many religions (not just abrahamic) have often built their principles off of the immutable differences between men and women. Often men are seen as higher or more noble in soul, and women are seen as lesser than, or to be controlled, or defective men. Much like how feminism sees women btw, as defective men that need to be socially and legally pushed up as they drag men down to ‘equalise’ the differences.
And no, I’m not saying women are unequal to insinuate that they are beneath me, it’s not about some kind of male supremacy, it’s about responsibility. Do women who are mothers, or teachers assume that they are ‘superior’ to their babies or children they care for simply because they have authority over them, because they have responsibility of care for them? This is a genuine question btw, because this applies societally to men’s general relationship to women. Men overwhelmingly take the jobs that maintain the core infrastructure of a nation, men overwhelmingly and obviously are the bulk of the military/police that both protects the nation and enforces the laws that safeguard society, men overwhelmingly pay the most in terms of net-taxes (that is, paying more in taxes than they receive in terms of government benefits), men overwhelmingly sacrifice themselves for the protection and provision of the whole nation across the board. And yes this is mostly because women are by and large INCAPABLE of performing most of these essential duties due to their gender. And they are duties, not privileges like feminist would have you believe, it’s about responsibility and it’s connection to authority, those who take on the most responsibility OUGHT to have a similar level of authority given to them to either reward or facilitate this process.
1. This is unfortunately the furthest from the truth. IQ tests done to prove women have similar to even higher IQs are always done on children, between the ages where girls start puberty before boys, a once in a lifetime advantage for them. Any IQ tests done after this to test adult male - female IQs always find men several standard deviations above women. But like I’ve said before IQ is not everything and not the only basis for why men ought to lead.
2. EQ might as well be women’s proper role if we were to actually look at this seriously. Women’s role for a long time in history was the cultural and societal integrity and strength of a nation, women (when they’re not being subverted by feminists and Jews lol) are quite adept at finding and rooting out societal and cultural weeds/issues that threaten the stability of a community as a whole.
3. I’ve already went over how religion, especially abrahamic religions actually reinforced a pretty firm patriarchal stance against the equality of the sexes. But it’s also just common sense, society if it’s to be done well, needs either a group or a central individual who is strong, responsible and committed to actually lead effectively. All other societies would in a vacuum be beaten out by tribes that viciously follow that kind of doctrine, which is why patriarchies quite literally dominated the majority of our species/societies. I don’t like religious debates, so I won’t try and correct you or anything about theological stuff that I don’t know fully about, but as others have mentioned, there are probably issues you’ve made.
Sorry about the extensive paragraphs of sheer text explaining my position, but it’s worth pointing out properly and not just resorting to “lol men are based and women are cringe”
