    Just one note - men and women don't have the same ranges, or at least, the distribution over those ranges is different for each gender. There are more males at both the lower and the higher end, in general.

    I'm sorry but did you just say that women respect men?

    So, if I understand you, what you're advocating is that women and men have a dual understanding of each other: sex objects sometimes, respectable citizens and real people other times. If I understand you, this is necessary for equality.


    This would be great, but I think it's far easier for women to think that way than for men to do so. I'm not saying it's not possible, but most men tend to be naturally shallow, and have one track minds. Having a dual idea of women would be quite difficult. The female mind is much better at thinking of things that way.

    @Shenlon,


    I'm assuming you are a woman, please disregard this post if it is not so.

    If you are a woman yourself, aren't you painting all men with the same brush by these lines (a one-track opinion, if I may?) ? This rather weakens your argument that women are deep thinkers and are capable of making the right distinctions.
