I agree in part. To me, really, I’d like people to get to a point where we don’t actually worry about women being lesser than or equal or greater than men, because we’d have moved beyond where that has any meaning and instead just see a person as a person. I mean, yes, there are differences between the average male and average female, but I don’t see where that makes a difference.

As for oversexualization of women, I think there is certainly truth to that. This is where things get a bit tricky, since I feel a woman should have the right to, if she so wishes, have highly sexual self. It just becomes a problem of trying say this is allowed without actively encouraging it and making it what is expected as the norm, which we seem to be having some trouble with.
