Should women be allowed to do everything men do?

[Hullygully]

Talk to me about equality.

Nah. Our vaginas get in the way all the time.

If you wish to go into the gents and wee standing up, then I won't stop you.

No, this is a serious point.

Are we not equal but different?

Don't we all have different roles?

You are welcome to do everything I need to do today. I'll go back to bed.

No.

Jar opening is something my vagina inhibits me from doing.

Oh, and working as a team. I can't do that.

What things are we not allowed to do?

Submarines? Front line combat? There must be more.

Yes, if they want to.

Not every woman is as strong as a man, but some women are stronger than some men.

Not every woman wants to be a builder, or in the army, or whatever your preferred 'male role' is, but some do.

Not ever man wants to either.

My favourite quality story of the week www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22828150

No, we should be made to undress to the sound of cheesy music.

I think the differences between any two individuals randomly picked are just as significant as the differences between men and women, once you take social conditioning out of it.

I used to command a sub, so that isn't true.

They are surprisingly easy.

Woops try again

"Don't we have different roles?"

IMHO only as much as any two people have different roles. I'm sure my interests, strengths and weaknesses are very different to yours. I just don't think my anatomy has anything to do with it.

Fathering children.

And watching really boring telly programs.

The good thing about being in charge of a sub is all the lovely young men you can get to help you press the buttons n shit

Ah I am obviously misinformed.

Small Russian got there first with the point I was going to make, anyway.

I type with my fists, by the way.

*every man

*equality story

I don't think there is any universal male thing that women can't do. But I do think everyone is different. It just doesn't have to be along gender lines.

Thought submariners never used the term 'sub'? So my DDF told me if ever I slipped up.

I want to be in charge of a sub.

A twelve inch BLT one.

I think more menz should be allowed to be as artistic and celebratory of their bodies as women.

Who is this person who gets to do the allowing? How about letting adults decide for themselves- and take the risk of rejection if they are not up to the job?

Although, interestingly (well, only to me), if you chose to fiddle around with two eggs, I believe you could splice together a baby. You couldn't with sperm because they don't carry the information. But theoretically, I think women could 'father' babies.*

*This is a random sci-fi point. This is not evil feminists annihilating menz from the reproductive process. That happens later, after we have built the yonic memorial in the shape of a giant vulva and sung a rousing chorus of Nana was a Suffragette.

Only as long as you don't refer to yourself as a feminist in polite company. Couldn't be having that.

Oh God, I'm not now expected to watch Top Gear, grow a moustache every November and order the hottest curry on the menu even though I won't enjoy it.

Feminism has a lot to answer for.
