This is really, really sad. We should not think of females like this, we shouldn't think lowly ofthem ethier. Just because they're girls/ladies or diffrent gender, weshouldnt think of them like that. I hope you burn in he'll thining your greater and or more powerful than women. I hope the world realises woman are there to love and respect, not to be used and thrown away. Oh and if you guys think I'm some old dude with no life giving lectures on a website, don't I'm only 13(turned 13 today). By eguys and hope you change your view/thoughts on woman ;-).

You know what I find interesting about both this concept as well as female infanticide? I don't know about Muslims or Sikhs, but for Hindus daughters are said to be "Ghar Ki Laxshmi". The goddess Laxshmi of money and wealth of their houses...so when you treat a woman badly or muder your daughter...by your own words isn't that evil? And by the way I'm not some budi auntie or a preacher...I'm almost 20 and I'm not particularily religios...I just find that logic very skewed...any thoughts?

Am I the only one who sees the twisted irony that it is his MOTHER who told him this?!?!?!?!

Just a question..if your dad said "betiyaan jyan se pyaari hoti hain. they are internally stronger than any son/man. It is god's gift." would it be a bad day to be male?

Layla, I do =), that's funny actually lol, why the hell would his mom say that? I think this TMDL is a fake, or it just fails.

Miss Priyam, I think your right. If I had kids, I would treat them all the same. And would praise all of them equally, so I don't create a problem between men and woman(or my children in this case). Well, I don't have kids, and won't have them in a while. And I think it would be a bad day to be a male if that happened =).

Ok let's not kill the OP here, he did say, "according to my mom". He may be rolling his eyes just as much as us. As far as I am concerned, I think that there are a great many differences between men and women but at the end of the day, we're all human beings and hence should be treated as such.

Chickentender- (ok first of all, every time I want to adress you your name makes me laugh and I lose all seriousness! Seriously, it makes me smile! I think there was one post CL said "I second chicken" just to say "I second CHICKEN") That great of you. I"m glad you think so about your future kids. I can see we're in the same boat. My mom never says stuff lke that. She comes from a family of 4 sisters and no sons so she learned to be modern, independent, as well as modest from her dad herself, who told her that no beti of his was less than a son. his betiyan were his sons. which was very forward thinking of the time. I can already tell the type of fine personality you are becoming. Keep making me smile, chicken. =D See ya.

@Sar1- He probably thinks he's the best because he's a male, we don't know. He probably could be rolling his eyes when he wrote it. I'm still thinking why his mom would say this, considering she's a woman. But than again, the OP is some bored desi in collage and wrote this out of boredom, we haven't a clue if this is real or not.

Ok Priyam, I'll treat you as a friend :=). My mom come's from a family of 4 brother's and 3 sisters... I'm doubting they were treated the same. Since my Nano(Mom's mom) and Nana(mom's dad, who sadly isn't with us anymore) married at the age of about 15-17, they were very young, and when the wars were going on. My grandma sent My oldest uncle, and my second oldest uncle to germany. After a long time the war was over they came back to us, and than my nana died... I haven't seen him ever nor have almost any of my family. Well Idk what I was saying but still, I have to think of my future kids to keep them happy, and not to become "bad" people :). Bye Priyam and Desi's, I'm going to get of TMDL, I've been on for too long :P.

@ OP: It must be really cool, having a mother who knows the gender dynamics of every single desi family. It's too bad that she's 100% wrong on this one. :) @ Madame Malfoy: 1) great screen name!!! 2) There are people in this world who insist on being sexist/racist/just plain bigoted. Usually, they have a need to control others that would benefit from a few sessions w/a psychologist. These are the people who either use the (often vague) language in scripture to justify treating women poorly, or they simply ignore the parts of scripture that instruct them to treat women (and just about everybody) with kindness and love because it doesn't fit very well with their insatiable need to control women. That need is coupled with anger management issues and results in violence. Logic isn't even part of the thought process for these people. Just my thoughts :)

She's probably right. Males are the superior gender. We are physically and mentally superior to women. We have to take care of the women and have to teach them everything.

@ 12: Please provide proof that men are mentally superior to women. Please provide proof that men have to "take care" of women and teach them everything. I am a 24 years old woman. I live in my own apartment (in a city that is 8 away from my parents) and I live by myself. I don't have a man around to teach me anything. I take care of myself and I am 100% financially independent. I pay all the bills on my own, I cook for myself, I do my own taxes, and I am putting myself through school. I don't need a man around in order to accomplish anything. I don't need a man around to teach me anything. I have learned a variety of things from BOTH of my parents. Whatever I haven't picked up from both of them I learn on my own, making mistakes as I go along and learning from those mistakes. I'm not the only one who lives her life like this. MILLIONS of women all over the world are independent. They don't have men taking care of them or directing them on how to live their lives. Men and women both have things that they are, as a gender, particularly good at. Neither men nor women are superior. You can think that if you like, because you have every right to be sexist. But that doesn't make it true.

@ 12 & 13 I'm going to add to #13 and ask to provide proof that men are physically superior to women too.

okay, let's be reasonable. from how the OP phrased this, it sounds as if he does not agree with his mother. also, i am a male, and personally feel as if number 12 is an idiot

#12 u got owned by #13 Lol. it's good to see independence and success and more freedom for women for women over the years. Now, physically, I've seen on tv that a girl DEFINITLY can be stronger to men, HOWEVER, from various shows from what I've seen, men are typically suppose to be more physically built and etc. Just sayin.

#16 There's no doubt that men are generally physically stronger than women when it comes to having bigger/more muscles and strength. That is one aspect though. What do you consider a superior body though? Women live longer, there's many sickness that only men get and women don't etc. Physically men and women are different but they both have certain things that are better than the other.

Gender equality cannot mean that we are identical. DiMasio and associates have studied the male and female brains under trauma for decades, and discovered that we achieve identical mental feats through very different neural pathways. (So there is no way, contra what I was taught back in the reckless days of post-Hippydom, to turn a boy into a girl with hormones and surgery: the architecture of the brains of boys and girls is distinctive.) ...There are two other areas of asymetry that can be changed, but within severe limits: 1) the mother bears the child, and is perforce that child's first educator; 2) men have on the average 20% greater thoracic strength than women. These three physical features of men and women have shaped the old world order. The principle running the affairs of the world has been force, and the male way of thinking and of dealing with things has prevailed. Women have been prized mainly as reproductive instruments, and to enhance their own survival and status have played an essential role in promoting male supremacy by inculcating it in their young from birth or even before. (Several recent stories on this very site, about embittered Grandmothers and oppressive Mothers, clearly echo this. And tt's cave-women who raise all the little cave-men.) ...I am put in mind of an incident in that story that was popular so long ago, 'Roots'. Recall that the mother of a young slave slaps and disciplines her child severely for learning to read, for not keeping her place. Think about it!

It's rather simple. Men are physically stronger in some ways, and women are physically stronger in other ways. The same goes for intelligence. These differences enhance our interactions with the opposite gender. Neither sex is superior to the other. @ 18: You're right. The physical differences between men and women have played a large role in molding the "place" of women in the world for the past few thousand years. That doesn't make it right, but I'm sure you know that. Personally, I call out people who "promote male supremacy" on their sexism whenever I see it. :)

Ok, I'll agree that women and men can be mentally equal. But, it's fact that men are physically superior. We are generally stronger, faster, and can endure more than females. Thus, why the military doesn't put women on the front lines. While, I do applaud women in going through child birth which is a feat that I would not want to imagine. I still think this is a male dominated society. Back when women were opressed and were not allowed to do anything but take care of children and do house work. If it wasn't for a couple of good men deciding that women should be able to have the same equal rights as males, then we would still be stuck in the old age.

#17 u r definitly rite. There r a lot of aspects I forgot to mention like u said w/ sicknesses only men get, or women r more flexible than men, or etc. Now, mentally? I'll leave that 4 evry1 else to discuss, :P

You're a freakin' sexist pig, and you will never geet a girlfriend willingly.
