Also, races aren't really important. Your skin colour doesn't effect who you are. A white person born in China is going to be different from other white people, but this is because of culture; the whole nature vs nurture thing. But with gender it's different. A woman sees the world the way she does because she's a woman. A man his own way, too.
Equal opportunities, as in women and man can both have the same chance to do what they want, is good. However, equality is a pipe dream, as both are naturally different, instead of in relation to culture (Nurture).
And the feminist movement doesn't even seem to be about equality. It's more exclusive than that. They want their gender to do better.
For example, my dad was a bus river before he retired. The women were given equal everything, but some buses were harder to steer than others. In steps feminism, and now women get all the easier buses to handle, and the men have to do both. That is not equality, nor equal opportunity.
I was going to ask you how far you think the biological differences between genders went, but then I noticed a more pressing question: how far do you think that the arm of feminism reaches?
The hardness of driving an individual bus isn't recorded (I assume) and it isn't something anyone outside that one job would care about. No bureaucrat or activist would ever know about it. Depending on how many buses we're talking here individual bus drivers might not even know or agree. So how would feminism have anything to do with this?
We're not talking individual buses. We're talking makes of bus. There is more than one type or version, and some are harder than others. And the logic "Not anyone outside that job would care about" doesn't really ring true. And trust me, they all agree. I used to ride with my dad on the bus and in the bus yard. They all groaned and hated the same ones. The ones the female drivers didn't drive.
And biological differences speak for themselves. If you don't know what a woman looks like biologically, I'm not going to be the one to describe it to you. However, I'll assume you mean emotionally/mentally.
My answer would be that women and men
are different in this regard, though there are those who are more feminine or masculine despite their gender. In social situations, girls are different. I'll not pretend to know much about it, but their social order is different from males.
Physically, again, the differences are obvious. As for the rest, it's almost negligible-women and men are the same on much more than they're different. But in many jobs it is physicality which judges how well a certain person can do something. Say, for example, farming; men tend to have bigger muscles, and so are capable at it. This explains why more men are farmers. If someone were employing farm-hands, men are typically more suited for the job. Were a woman to be equally or more so good at the job, they should either get it or be discounted because someone else is more suitable.
But my point is that because of physical attributes, men and women are different, and therefore
tend to have differing jobs that involve physical roles. If the women could not handle the hard-steering buses as well, then those who can't aren't suitable for the job. Either the buses should be updated, or those who can't drive them don't get the job, male or female. You should not raise one gender above the order in offering them the better bus. That is sexism.
