Let's start over. A zero to zero tie for women and men.

I need to get this off my chest, as it's been a pressing bother for some time.
Now, I'm not a crazed feminist. I don't think women are better than men in any way. We were made differently for a reason. However, it irks me beyond belief when I hear someone say something along the lines of "Men are greater, they've achieved greater things. They're the ones who built this world, for crying out loud!"

Do you know why men built the world, why they did such great things? Women weren't allowed to, plain and simple! Until modern day thinking changed everything, a woman's tasks consisted of cooking, cleaning, and caring for the children. A good wife was a submissive one, one who knew her place. A woman wouldn't just "do her own thing", she had a husband to tend to. Long before that even, free-thinking women were imprisoned, and even accused of witchcraft or satanic thought. these women, of course, posed a grave danger for the church and the authority of men. And so they were oppressed, by physical strength, and by the power that men had to impose much-more-than-sexist ideologies on their wives who were just so eager to do their job and please their husbands like a good wife would.

They prevailed though. It took a long time, but they finally did. And now that women are allowed to do as they please, the real contest can start, boys, if you so wish. If you want to think you're smarter, stronger, and just plain better, than go ahead and think it. But let's make it a fair game and stick to modern-day achievements okay?
