How Equal Do You Want It?

“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.”
