It's not wrong, it's simply a fact. BUT... the important thing is how it is handled.

I'm for example a wheelchair driver, I can't move my legs, that's a fact. But this doesn't mean I have to lay in bed the whole day... even while I may need the attentiveness for a different approach here and there. (note: I did not say 'help')

A different starting point doesn't mean the goal can't be the same. It's about the insight to understand and accept that.

PS:
And before people start to distort things... no, I don't put women on one level with a handicap... rolleyes


lol, no. There is nothing, *nothing*, that men can do that women can't or vice versa (except pure physiological stuff like being pregnant). I didn't say they aren't different in some ways but you conveniently edited that part. I said they aren't *FUNDAMENTALLY* different, which they aren't. The differences are miniscule at best and they mostly relate to child rearing (on a psychological level). So you might wanna start dismantling that societal indoctrination.
