equality

the Oxford dictionary says that gender equality is, the state in which access or rights or opportunities is unaffected by gender.

"Gender equality means that the the different behavior, aspirations and needs of women and men are considered, valued and favored equally. That their rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born male or female."

Oh I get it. Really, I do. But why can't people just get their heads out of their asses? Honestly. A 9 year girl could give a shit about singing in a boys choir. Her mother is behind that. A 9 year girl is definitely not prepared for the hell an all boys choir would put her through. Mean mom. I just don't understand all the people who want to be treated the same as everybody else on one hand but special on the other hand. 

Genders are NOT EQUAL! Physically, we're a lot different! Mentally we're a lot different too - just ask any man or woman! Our needs are different. Stop acting like they aren't. Oy. Why are there always those people who want to act like a 15 year old who wants to argue semantics?

We have several same sex couples where I work and their domestic partner is covered under their health insurance. But a heterosexual couple that lives together can't provide health insurance for their partner. That's not equality. If common sense were alive and well, none of these things would be an issue.
