Women seem to be more free to wear cross-gender clothing and to act outside their established gender role. Consider how the media portrays men and women. It seems men are either the stereotypical macho man or the bumbling idiot. Men are less free to show their feelings. Women can be competent, intelligent, and athletic.

Also consider divorce rates: women are twice as likely to initiate divorce as men are. It seems to me divorce laws cater to women. A man can agree to have children but then the woman can divorce, usually get custody, and obtain financial support without providing a reason and without social stigma. If women want to be equal in the workplace should they also be equal in relationships? Perhaps my question is becoming over-broad.

Best answer to whoever adds the most to the discussion, regardless of if I agree with the conclusion drawn. Please state whether you are a man, woman, undecided, or other.
