It's still a man's world? Do you agree?
elemis:
Many of you speak from a Middle Eastern perspective.
Women in the west have long been emancipated.
15.7 % (as of 2008) of High ranking corporates in the US alone are women.
Thats a big jump from when women weren't even allowed to vote.

It may still be a mans world in the eastern side, but be aware that it will soon be a woman's world. The ratio of Male:Female is getting less day by day. In KL, there are more females than males. With more developments, the third world countries will also see this trend. And it will be interesting to see how a "woman's world" would look like as oppposed to a "mans world".

And what exactly would that prove? Is freedom is the ability of a living creature to sustain on its own? Or is freedom the meaning of being allowed to do everything men are allowed to do?
This debate is as old as, idk, Adam and Eve. :P Reason(s) being; there is no set standard of woman and man equality. Saying that women and men should be treated the same is somewhat absurd and contradicts science, seeing there is a big difference between the physical and emotional strengths and weaknesses of a woman against a man's. (And yes, I know some women are stronger than some men.) I'm not saying women are weak and fragile and all that, but they are a different system of thought.
Also, some of us don't think being a housewife is unproductive, while some of us do. I don't see why it's unproductive in any way; even if we demean it, for a true housewife who controls most of the chores of the house as well as the grooming of her children, when we calculate her 'pay' given she was paid for all her hard-work, she might be earning much more than her husband. ;D Bringing money into the house isn't the only deciding factor in the 'productivity' of an individual.
So, unless feminists know what they're fighting for, and why, and they somehow manage to remember that just because America is a superpower it's not the only vote, only then, maybe, we can get better answers. xD

If housewives started to charge, men would be pitiful. ::)
