Re: To be happy, we must admit women and men aren't 'equal'
"Supposing" that men are the stronger sex? They ARE stronger in some ways. You can't refute that just by listing floozy falooda male exceptions. Even saying that both genders have different "strengths" implies an admission that they both are stronger than the other in different ways.
The point is that not every man is stronger than every women, so instead of imposing restrictive and false norms on the minority, why can't we let individuals identify and develop their own strengths/interests regardless of gender? There's nothing that we lose in keeping options and opportunities open.

You can believe in women's rights and still play damsel in distress in the bedroom or whatever kinky games you like. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
Re: To be happy, we must admit women and men aren't 'equal'
For me when god says "men are the stronger sex" I think that does not mean stronger in terms of how many weights they can lift or win in physical fights. For me I think it means stronger emotionally. And this is very true in that men don't get hormonal every month, they don't start crying and bemoaning life as much the women folk. I don't think women can deny that, ok not all but mostly it is women that do that. Men just sort of get on with things, they don't care what anyone else thinks. As much as women like to think they don't care or don't want to care they still do, its built in. We are the more sensitive sex. Physically we women might be able to match up by becoming body builders and CEO'S but at what cost? All this btw can be proven in the types of threads and blogs right here on GS. It does not matter whether the woman is a SAHM or a full time career women, both are bemoaning life. Whereas what are the men talking about?? Politics, computer games, IT, and gadgets right? Yes obviously u will find some men on life1 with a personal issue, they are but human and have sensitivity too, but no where near as much as the women. Equally I'm not saying u wont find woman on the politics forum but again not anywhere near as much numbers as the men.........runs to duck to from the tamaatar

Who said anything about women's rights? We're talking about who plays what role in a relationship. Who leads the relationship? We all expect guys to lead when it comes to courtship and rishtas do we not? Do you then expect him to do a 180? True equality does not exist. Someone always takes the lead in a relationship, and most women want guys to do that,** provided he is worthy of her respect and able to match her capabilities**. And here's the thing, she lets him lead, it's her choice to follow or not.
I think what you have an issue with is when more capable women are expected to play chup chap wifey to average guys, and I would agree with you there. Think about guys you've been attracted to. I bet you played a more passive role in those interactions, and I don't mean that you weren't talkative, I mean that he was more forward and confident, while you were laid back. And here you are reducing your natural inclination to simply a "kinky game". Women really don't know what they want sometimes.
And there are exceptions. Some guys are more passive and some women like to lead. That's fine too, as long as both are happy and more importantly, find such roles to be attractive. That's the key part. Attraction in a marriage helps create happiness.
Agree with HeartnSoul. Now let's duck together and wait for the bombardment of exceptions...which will always exist...but don't represent the norm.
Ah yes, that one exception that a person saw that one time. It's what makes Life1 tick isn't it?
