“I gotta tell you, I'm envious of
women. I'm not saying your problems get solved but at least they're
taken seriously. There's 1-800 numbers, there's ribbons, there's
groups, people give a shit. Anything happens to a guy, it's just
considered funny.” - Bill Burr
Will there ever be true equality
between men and women? No. Should there be? Eh...depends on what day
of the week you ask me. I was watching some clip from a show where
one of the women in the group were talking about that lady that cut
off her husbands dick and threw it into the garbage disposal. They
all laughed. Now just flip that story. First off you gotta pick
something that can be cut off a woman, thrown into a garbage
disposal, and laughed about. You think of something yet? Neither have
I. Know why? Because the shit isn't funny! Human mutilation can't be
funny when it happens to one sex and not the other.
“Gender equality is the measurable
equal representation of women and men. Gender equality does not imply
that women and men are the same, but that they have equal value and
should be accorded equal treatment. The United Nations regards gender
equality as a human right. It points out that empowering women is
also an indispensable tool for advancing development and reducing
poverty. Equal pay for equal work is one of the areas where gender
equality is rarely seen. All too often women are paid less than men
for doing the same work.”
