Isn't that a common courtesy??? Whenever someone talks to you as an equal, LISTEN...
All society really needs is for the sexes to stop thinking that one is superior to the other, treat each other with commen respect (and not sex objects) and listen to what each has to say...
The Christian faith seems to have a downer on women - The cause of original sin, the "virgin" mother, the prostitute, etc... No mention of God talking to a woman, no women profits, no women disciples...
No wonder women needed to have the suffroget (sp?) movement and the feminist movement... Get treated like second or third class citizens can have a negative effect on people...
Just my opinion...
