Women and Men are equal

These days we see women fighting for equality. What equality? Women think that to raise out of their "inferiority", they need to do what men do. In this way, don't they automatically admit to themselves that men are "superior"?
Inferiority and superiority are just matters of perception. Men are considered superior because they seem to dominate the important things in life. They earn, are bread winners of the family. Women don't realize that they too have important parts to play. They give birth to life, take care of it, first in their wombs and then after birth, teach them discipline, manners and other skills to survive life. In this way, women are closer to nature.
Men are closer to culture. To some extent, culture was created by men because they didn't have the miracle of creating life, the way women do. Men have created abstract objects. Culture, buildings, financial markets, political systems, etc. They have created things that are thought to be superior to what women create and nature because what men create is "immortal". Which of course is a false notion, as nature's fury destroys the tallest of buildings within seconds.
Women who say that having a job is the way of being superior automatically admit that men are superior as they have jobs. There is also a tendency among women that they have the burden of developing the children into good human beings. They think that the job men do is easier. Go out, make money. In a way, they are trying to run away from their responsibilities.
In reality, men and women both play an equally important part role on this planet. Women give birth and rear the future generation, men provide a platform for this future generation to survive on.
So, women, next time you feel you are inferior, think of the beautiful miracle of life that you have the power of creating. God is said to have created everything in the universe, females were created to continue this creation. Isn't that a wonderful gift in itself? Why do you need to do a man's job to feel that you are superior?
Women and men are equal, it all comes down to perception. You can consider yourself inferior for a lot of reasons and be a pessimist, the list will go on, or you can be an optimist and instead of seeing what you don't have, see what you do have.
