I feel that no one is equal nor should we be but we all should have the same opportunities.
Having raised two daughters and having a number of nephews I do see what appear to be differences between males and femals although how to account for differneces caused by socialization vs nature is difficult or impossible.

That said, we should all be allowed to screw up equally based on our own person failures!

There is good news for women however (as I see it anyway). I work in a traditionally male dominated science (geology). When I started 30 some years ago the only women we saw were our secretaries. More and more women however are getting into this field, and women now make up close to 50% of the scientific staff in my office. Opening up this science has provided some interesting changes in how we view things. This has been a good thing.

(I still however have to remember that when in the field, I can't cuss as much or just take a p--- anywhere anymore. Also, there is less beer drinking and arguing about rocks which was one of the things that first attracted me to geology).
