Like the US constitution says "All men are created equal." The Bible, on the other hand, says that woman are the weaker vessel. What do these mean? Do we believe the plain wording or is there some interpretation needed?
Equality of rights, equality of intelligence, equality of skill, equality of physical strength, equality of social status, equality of nurturing capacity, equality of leadership skills, equality of emotional stability, and other interpretations need to be parsed.
But for me, when a man says that he wants to be treated as a woman, my first response to that is that the man is saying that men and women are inherently unequal and he wants the other portion as his.
