I disagree, the affect of genetics varies in people.
"Researchers from Uppsala University, Karolinska Institute, and the University of Chicago, have determined that there are hundreds of biological differences between the sexes when it comes to gene expression in the cerebral cortex of humans and other primates...the cerebral cortex [is] that area of the brain that is involved in such complex functions in humans and other primates as memory, attentiveness, thought processes, and language."
"On average, an adult human male body produces about forty to sixty times more testosterone than an adult female body..."
"It's not surprising that our levels of testosterone are understood to affect our behaviour. Testosterone receptors are found in our brain, which means the hormone interacts and binds with our neurons, relaying to them important messages for action. Deborah Blum, author of Sex on the Brain, says this indicates the brain is "prepared to listen to what testosterone has to say" and that "most researchers consider this at least indirect evidence that testosterone is capable of altering the brain, and thus, influencing our behaviour." "
Since the amount of wacky hormones getting pumped out of different peoples brain varies due- yet again, to genes and circumstance, many people will have significant attitude change, whilst some will be barely influenced at all. (If you want me to cite that tell me).

tkdyo kind of answered it for me, but yeah I was referring to the women who want men wiped off the face of the earth, or women that call a man sexist if they say the word "vagina".
I put "feminist" in inverted commas because I KNOW that the original concept on feminism was for equality, and believe me, i'm all for it. But radical groups of women who are all for the castration of men have often also associated themselves with the label of "feminist, so I apologize if I misled you there.

I think the topic starter kind of misled alot of the people in this thread as well. I assume that he was referring to the groups of women who think men are inferior to them, or that men are constantly being sexist to them. He did state initially that he was all for equality between men and women so, again, I just think this thread is being WAY too over-thought by people, comments are being purposefully twisted to make them offensive.

That is completely unfair. If you think men are the cause of all problems, then you are one of the people that piss me off.
Problems are caused by PEOPLE, not by men, and not by women. Mistakes, misguided desicions, lack of understanding and compassion- they are things that EVERY person encounters in their lifetime, and that EVERY person either overcomes or lives with.
That is like saying all white people are the cause of all problems, the majority of men in power are white, isnt that just as plausible a cause for all the problems in the world?

I agree. Women were treated like shit over the course of history, and I too think that is disgraceful. I also agree that women are still disadvantaged in the work-place, but you have to understand that intergrating women fairly into the work-place will take time. This is because since the dawn of our race, men were the dominant sex (generally speaking of course, and not referring to cognitive ability), they were the dominant hunting sex, they were driven solely by primitive urges.
Now we have had 50 or so years in which we are supposed to attempt to reverse the psyche of men, allowing woman to be equal when it comes to "hunting and gathering" (or makin' bling bling, you know what I mean), when the basic male instinct is to fight over the women, supply for the women, let them look after children. This has been instilled in us for the past 160,000 years++ (I don't wanna get into an argument about the birth of the human race, but let us just say it has been a very long time), so we can only assume that acceptance of women into the male's natural role will take awhile.
As time goes on, the intergration will become stronger, and women will have more equal rights in the workplace. I agree that they deserve equal pay and equal rights, but this thread isn't so much about female equality as female superiority.
