Do women deserve special treatment because they are women?

[BlackCryptoKnight]

In today's society where talks of "independence" and "equality of the sexes" abounds, should women get special treatment simply because they are women?

Honestly I have been groomed to think like that so my initial ans will be yes and probably will always be yes. However looking on it from another prospective it's no. this perspective is the equality quest that women are on.

In terms of what? Professionally? NO! That's ridiculous!

I deserve special treatment cuz I'm a Princess though :p lol... I'm kidding but I think that we fought for equal rights therefore we should be treated as such!

In terms of what? Professionally?

Whether professionally, socially, legally etc.

Eg. To the best of my knowledge, in Jamaica women are not sentenced to death when convicted of capital murder (this is the case in some other countries). If they're equal to men, they should get the same treatment as men.

On a whole.... if we want to be viewed as equals.. then it should be across the board.

That means equal pay, rights, opportunity, and concequences to anything we do that should bring them on.

Do you think this view is shared by most women?

women and men should be treated the same. however there are things that are expected of a man/woman that should still be done without the situation seeming like special treatment.

eg. opening doors for a lady. thats not special treatment its just gentleman like.

Would you open doors for a man? If not, then opening the doors for a women would constitute "special" treatment since it is specially reserved for women.

[Drew]

yup, i do bck.

@ Bashment Girl - When u say open doors for guys do u mean holding it so the guy goes first or just common courtesy when I go through and hold it for some other dude

Man, if you don't give your girl special treatment. Someone else will.

Some little things can turn out to be competition. :)

On a principle basis though, no matter how evolved/independent women tend to come accross these days, all of them like to be treated like ladies. Even the Viragoes.

Welcom back Fadda Nas :p
Good to see the storm neva blow yuh away :icon_mrgr

It's one thing to give special treatment to someone you care about, because you care about them, but it's a different thing to give special treatment to someone just and only because of their gender.

The world would indeed be such a much nicer place if everyone treated everyone else special just because they are human.

Thanks Man. Glad to be back.

Anyways...


Think about it this way.... If everyone was treated 'special', how would you show the one you love that how you feel differs for that of someone else? :cool:

There are different levels of "special" and different actions that can convey the sentiments of individuals. Opening a door for stranger is special. Giving up your career to have and take care of your spouses children is even more special and not something you'd do for just anybody. ;)

What kind of question is this :) Do women deserve special treatment because they are women. I would think that men would want to treat women special, all the time. So Im biased on this question because Im female so due to my partial way of thinking I dont think I can give you the answer your looking for. :) Yes, I want to be treated special. :icon_mrgr ;)

[Xenocrates]

lmao :icon_mrgr

[InkyP1]

I think I will agree with Kitten on this one. ;)

DO we deserve special treatment? Of course, especially when we didn't do anything to not 'deserve' it. In any area of our lives whether it be military, driiving a car, opening the doors to us at a store, which ever, we should receive some 'good' treatment.

Take for example, military wise, women were allowed a shower when we were in the feild every 3 days. The men didn't get any. We weren't allowed in combat units neither go to war on the fron tline. We did lesser push-ups than the men and had to run our 2 miles in a little bit more time than them. A few other things we had to do the same, but we were treated like female soldiers.

This special treatment takes my mind back when God made Adam in His own image and likeness from the dust of the earth. Then after seeing all he had made and gave dominion to 'them' both male and female, he realised that Addam was alone. So he said, "it is not good for man to be alone therefore I will make him a help-mate".

God put Adam to sleep...we know the story, and He took a rib from Adam's side. Do you know how special this one thought in God's head was? and how important that rib was? Notice that God didn't take a heart, or a kidney or a leg or hand of Adam to man wo-man, but a rib from his side.
1. So wo-man would be a help mate
2. So that she would know her place in life and she is shadowed under the wings(arms) of her husband: remaining by his side.
God didn't say she was the head, lest we would think we are, neither made from the foot, else we would be trampled under. But made from His side, to nurture, comfort, love, extend a helping heart, body and soul to man. So after deep calculation, thought and proper planning, God set a side all this time and effort to make us (woman).

So how can we not recive special treatment?

Um... you lost me JCB. :eusa_thin Why do women deserve special treatment again?

Oh lawd....I forgot.

i believe the question was rhetorical. as in they must get special treatment. read the post again bck.

Darn I usually stay away from the relationship threads, but some times I read some things that makes me sit back and really wonder about the human mind and how it works.

Ok here's my take on the matter. For the most part I think when it comes to relationships, both parties deserve special treatment. It shouldn't be a sex issue..male versus female. I also believe that from time to time each person requires extra special treatment. For example...a woman needs special treatment at the birth of a child, menopause, promotion, etc. The same for a man, if he is sick or got a promotion or something. So it's not so much about any one sex, it's more about diff situations or occassions. I also believe that I don't need to wait for a special occassion to do something extra special for the person I love.

Definitely in relationships both partners should treat each other specially, but what I was really getting at was the general treatment of people based on their gender.

My answer remains the same. It shouldn't be about gender.
