(312 posts)But equal means equal.
When someone goes on the attack and singles out men, I am a man, so they are talking about me to.
When I simply say, "that is not me" they go into rants about "men" again, so that also includes me.
Men have been pushed into a corner where it is not considered PC to step up and say, "calm down with me, I didn't do it."
And I didn't.
The result of this is those who are actually that way will argue with you.
Those who are not that way will tend to ignore you.
I fully believe inequality but not one step either way from actual numerical quantifiable equality. There has to be one single standard and making up new rules for each person who perceives that they have been a victim of discrimination can't be done.
It is not a perfect world but discriminating against any group in support of another is not equality.
People have to draw their own line in the sand and say this is me and I treat all people as equals. This is me and I judge all people by one set of standards.
