Who would have thunk? Not some.
My favorite movies stars and musicians are women. I watch women's programming. And some of my best friends are women.
When women are in traditional relationships with men...do they not expect to be treated like "queens", or is it "kings"? Do they not like doors opened for them, and chairs pulled out, and flowers, and chocolates and cards, and diamonds and bling and dinners out on the town? Are men the same way? Of course not. So let's not pretend that there is a world of difference between women and men, their expectations and their outlooks.
I believe in equality for all. Women should be paid the same amount as a man for the same work. They should not be discriminated in the workplace or any other place. Hell, women in Israel actually serve in combat capacities that American servicewomen do not. Can you do the job should be the only criterion. I am not a sexist. I am a realist. Do not confuse the two.
