5. Yes, I'm a feminist.
6. I think gender equality has long way to go. I was with a coworker the other day when she went to go get her car checked because it was making an odd noise. the making said, "You have quite an ear, most women wouldn't recognize that there was a problem." (otherwise implying the women know nothing about cars)
7. No, I believe both genders are equally important and their differences should be valued because they compliment eachother.
8. I dont know the people who post on here, so its hard to judge.

4. Married with two daughters
5. Feminist
6. We are getting there but have work to do
7. I think superior is not the right word for what I feel deep down, but as an "equal but different" feminist, I believe that from the start that our female bodies have given us a human definitive advantage that the other sex had to take away in order to define itself..we are equally human but we are not equal in our cosmic place or roles.
8. I think the Women Studies category on YA! can have some really intellectually stimulating debates more so than any other category, and some of the other participants are really frackin smart and well articulated (and this is coming from a misanthrope)

7. No not really but I do believe that women and men are very different from each other. Meaning that in some areas a gender is more superior than the other.
8. I don't like the people that try to degrade the opposite sex. Overall though, Women's Studies and the people that post here are very interesting.

8. In this particular topic? I don't know, but overall, they simply do not seem to represent the same people that I come into contact with in daily life. For example, there are a lot more Republicans on here than I've ever actually met face to face. I guess it just goes to show how small our own little worlds actually are!!!

Reply:1) That's private information but I'm sure you can pick up on my sex if you read some previous answers.
2) That's private information but you may be able to get an idea of my age if you read some previous answers.
3) That's private information but I'm sure you can pick up on that if you read some previous answers.
4) Private.
5) Feminism -the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
I satisfy this requirement of feminism. I believe men and women should have equal rights. However, this is inclusive of giving men more rights where they are lacking them.
Many people on this forum consider themselves feminists yet I disagree with many of their viewpoints and feel they do not actually satisfy the deifinition of feminism given above.
Many people consider only improving women's rights and protections sometimes far beyond that afforded to men. This is not the search for equality.
6) No, but once again, I see many of the disadvantages actually applying to males.
7) No. That's a bit of a silly question.
8) Some people can have rather strong opinions. Some people seem to bash feminists (Please note, as said before, I do not neccessarily consider them feminists), some people bash men. Arguements are generally not constructive.
Edit:
Wow, 3 votes down, that was unexpected.

I consider my self a capable woman and a good example.
No, Inequality still exists everywhere, although more subtly than before.
Superiority doesn't exist. Females and males have different predilections that are determined by
their hormones
About 50% of the contributers seem to have an open mind.

yes
not really- at least not in the field that I'm in
overall, no. one gender may, on average, preform better some things, and the other others, but it evens out
I am sad that so many people are on the fringe- either really man-hating feminists, or women-hating archconservatives. I wish there were more happy mediums.
