I think it's interesting that "Terrorism and Islam" is listed as a "similar thread" at the bottom...

I need to ask: are we discussing "equality of gender" (degenderization), or are we discussing "men are not better than women" (feminism)? Because most people appear to be taking a "separate but equal" stance.

I would also ask people to distinguish culture from biology: women have a number of clear externally visible markers, a smaller number of unclear external markers, minor externally invisible markers (ovaries are the only one I can think of offhand), and some notable differences in brain structure (in the limbic system, I'm told, and in storage structures (higher dispersal)).

None of these are cultural markers.
