Equality, to me, means being equal, not pushing one person down and standing on their head while you try to make things better for you and only you. Exactly.

I could almost leave it at "I can't add anything more to this well thought out post," but I want to show I'm thinking about what you said, heh. Men have a ways to come as well. I get depressed when I see magazines like Maxim, etc. (not the least for giving into the stereotypes those magazines push at times). Because they basically encourage men to be base, to be wrong and act like it's right. Men shouldn't want this stereotype, and women shouldn't want to be it either. And how sad is it that this idea is increasingly bought into as the way things are? I've given into that thinking before, and hate it. And I particularly hate the reverse discrimination advocated in the quotes you used from this article. Equality is about balancing things out where they should be: not tipping the scales the opposite direction. But yes... I have very little to add to your post. Because I agree wholeheartedly.
