There's always equal.
No.
Not equal.
Different, and measured by wholly different standards.
But have it your way.
And when we meet in anger, we will fight, and I will crush you like I would any man.
And don't expect protection in your troubles. Protect yourself, like any man.
And don't expect deference - I defer to no man.
Don't expect the tipped hat in greeting.
Don't expect an offered arm on an icy walk.
Tote your own crap, as any man would do.
Load your own truck, as any man would do.
Fix your own car on the side of the road, as any man would do.
I am honor bound to defer to you in order to help you along... In order to make it 'equal'.
You can't have it both ways.
And women wonder what happened to genteel society.
