Generally, let’s be honest…men enjoy certain things, women enjoy others. Men think a certain way, women another. This isn’t stating that you can assume anything outright, but it’s true. No one should state all men think one way, all women another – but generally men will think a while women think b in given situations. Whether or not this is natural or because we are raised with certain expectations differently as men and women even today is up for debate. An interesting thing I’d like to point out is that FTM transexuals, when discussing their transition, will often comment that when they got on their hormone cocktails, they thought they were going insane. I’ve heard multiple stories about the quick and senseless anger they’d feel about nothing as well as walking down the street, looking at women, and thinking “I’d do that one, and that one” like they never had before. Of course, this doesn’t mean they think exactly like men, but it’s an interesting piece of evidence that we might think much, much more differently and react differently than we even believe that we do now.
@meiosis I think says it best – equality is about the right to equal opportunity, as much as possible. Sometimes it isn’t, but 99% of the time it is. If you want to be in the army, and you’re a woman – you have barriers men don’t have because of physical requirements. This may change in the future (not because of the requirements, but because women may develop in a manner keeping them physically more equivalent to men in terms of height, strength, etc.), but for now it’s the case and it very well should be. But there should be no unnecessary barriers.
