The argument: key words

1. Supposed to be enlightened age: not really so.

2. Women won independence years ago.

3. Long struggle: equal educational opportunities as men.

4. Proved repeatedly: equal, often superior to men in every field. Battle not over: men carry on sex war; basically hostile.

5. Even in progressive societies: women second-rate citizens; different species!

6. Light-hearted comments made by men: e.g. women drivers.

7. Does not conceal real contempt; but statistics disprove their claims.

8. Take driving: women: fewer accidents; responsible drivers, not maniacs.

9. Success in any job: politicians, etc. - bear and rear children as well.

10. Men maintain fiction: women can't do certain jobs.

11. E.g. top-level political negotiation, banking, no vote in certain countries.

12. Why? Familiar arguments: women unreliable, irrational, depend on instinct, intuition.

13. Men refuse to acknowledge proven ability. Clear thinking?

14. Men cling to supremacy: inferiority complex.

15. Shun competition; may be beaten.

16. Most important task: world peace.

17. Success if negotiations by women; some things too important to be done by men.

1. Women: militant, shout louder because they have weak case.

2. Even now, they still talk like suffragettes.

3. It's nonsense to claim that men and women are equal and have the same abilities.

4. Women: different biological function; physically weaker; different, not inferior, intellectually.

5. Impossible to be wives, mothers and successful career women.

6. Really are unreliable: employers can't trust them. Not their fault: leave jobs to get married, have children.

7. Great deal of truth in light-hearted jokes: e.g. women drivers. Women: less practical, less mechanically-minded.

8. Most women glad to let men look after important affairs.

9. They know that bearing and rearing children are more important.

10. That's why there are few women in politics, etc. They are not excluded; they exclude themselves.

11. Anyway, we live in woman-dominated societies: e.g. USA, Western Europe.

12. Who is the real boss in the average household? Certainly not father!

13. Men are second-class citizens and women should grant them equal status!
