Jeff, I agree with the first half of your comment. But equality of the sexes is another thing entirely. Which gender are the lions, and who are the hares? Using your line of reasoning, men would be lions and women hares. So the men are laughing at women and stomping them out.... except, well the difference between men and women is not the same as the difference between lions and hares. Men and women are the same species. We are all humans. Men have no right to stomp all over women, and women have no right to stomp all over men.

Just because men and women are different does not mean they are not 'equal' in value and equally deserving of respect. That's the problem with this quote - what does 'equal' really mean? Are we looking for equality of outcomes? Opportunity? Respect?
