Should we reinstate all things that "worked for all human cultures" in the past? Like Slavery and torture?
We moved on Buz, that's what happens. Like Dylan sang: "The times they are a-changing". You can either choose to change with them, or be shunned by society for views which will be held as backwards and sexist. Choose your path.
If you want to instist that women and men are different, then yes, they are. Are they so different as to say that one is inferior to the other? No, of course not.

Re: ...more emotional and easily persuaded and manipulated...
Hey Rahvin,
A bit of a nit pick perhaps, but:

According to the same source, of those who are no longer enrolled in school, more women have attained a High School diploma than their male counterparts (1,403 women have "less than a High School diploma," vs 1,606 men).
Yes, but if you look at the total statistics you will see that the amount of men in this example was 8,465, of which 1,606 have "less than a High School diploma", making it 6,859 men who've got at least a High School diploma.
The total amount of women is 7,756, of which 1,403 have "less than a High School diploma", making it 6,353 women who've got at lesat a high school diploma.
So, there are actually more men with at least a high school diploma. Percentage wise however, the women did better, by about 0,9%

The Bible talks about slavery because that is a part of mans history but it does not approve of it.
Yes it does, it even has rules in it for the beating of one's slaves, what sacrifice should be made when one rapes a slave, how to hand them down as inheritance, and how one can buy his brother as a slave. If that is not condoning it, I don't know what is.
It is a non sequitur for this thread, and all it is is a tool for pretenders like coyote want to use to leverage you against the Bible. I wonder if they know whos work they are doing.
The good moral work of those who realize some things in the bible are completely and utterly evil, while other parts contain some pretty good advice.
And that is what makes this place look like an evolutionist echo chamber to me.
Because we seem to know the bible better than you makes us wrong? You've got some weird views mate.
