Blue: why do you always use a gender bias language in your quotes? :)
while the term man is often used for an adult human male,yet, man is also used to refer to humanity as a whole ;)
So... do you think that man = to humanity as a whole?
linguistically, the term Man include all human beings, men and women...so when Thomas Jefferson said: 'all men are created equal' he included women too...
Sorry dear this is still a gender bias language, and I believe the example of Thomas Jefferson is out of date :)... My question was what do you think "Blue" regarding man = to humanity as a whole?
I believe the richest person [she/he] is the one who is capable of love and given with no boundaries….
"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition."
"Man" has come to mean "humanity"/"mankind" because men have dictated the way of the world since long before Jefferson - who, btw, spoke those words when women didn't have any rights yet. Women who seek to be equal don't lack ambition at all.
"Men's need to dominate women may be based in their own sense of marginality or emptiness; we do not know its root, and men are making no effort to discover it."
"Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece."
“Women seek to be equal with men”
This is a totally wrong understanding of the subject, if women seeks to be equal to men, that’s means women are less then men in different and many ways …..
The issue of equality is not related to the intellectual capacity of the women or what women are capable to do … the issue of equality is mainly in the domain of social justices and laws
Blue , I loved the word "masterpiece".... :)
It goes even beyond the domain of social justices and laws. Women's rights are more or less guaranteed by laws, but not in the moral fiber of the social consciousness of mankind. That battle is still ongoing.
women are 'the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that’s fine.'
Both men and women are unique and there is no equality between different things. Can we ever say that oranges are like apples? No. But we still love and like them because of their differences. What we as humans have to still learn is to accept the beauty of our differences and at the same time respect those differences instead of demeaning each other. Given the authority and circumstances,both men and women are quite capable of exploiting each other. Usually exploitation is not always gender based,but depends on any prevalent situation too. And to show our human side we must strive to stop this discrimination,exploitation of each other. At least that's what I believe in.
"Women: Scientifically proven to be right even when they’re wrong." :)
One fact about this life, that’s we can not live it without both of us (women and men) after all we are partners... So let’s celebrate our differences and enjoy the company and love of each other …
Blue why I have the feeling that you are a typical male oriented mind?:):)
"My theory is that men are no more liberated than women."
I agree with Blue, both are suffering in one way or another and only through sensitivity one can understand others.
"There are too many people, and too few human beings."
Each time we cultivate in ourselves the qualities of 'humans' we succeed in eliminating at least one 'people'... Let's be the change!!
I think the question here: Do we have the ability and the courage to trust each other? Because only through trust we can reach to the result if the others are human or sort of living creatures, but such experience can be very painful. So are we ready to deal with; and bear such pain? and can we challenging ourselves and not lose faith regarding trusting others?

I am much in favour of what Om Kulthoum said about life:)
يا حبيبي الحياه ايام قليلة
ليه نضيع عمرنا هجر و خصام
واحنا نقدر نخلق الدنيا الجميلة
بالوداد و القرب تجدد حيتنا
بالحنان وبالحب تتبدل اهاتنا
والجاي نعيشة احلى من اللي فاتنا
و اللي فات ننساه... و ننسى كل اساه
يلا نلحق من الزمن ايام صفاه
الحياة من غير لقانا مش حياة
و احنا مش حنعيش يا روحي مرتين....
Life here sounds more alive than just an adventure :)
"Our life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently."
I rather say:- challenge it and define your own path
"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right."
Things happen because you believe in them!
Be an optimist,always,sometime just to screw up the things that go wrong in your face :)
