    he treated as equals? Jell, to my imaw
ledge the women of the U.S. were given
equal rishts under the 19th Amendment
to the Constitution.
These ecual rights placed women as
equals to men, and to my understanding
they prefer, more so, they demand to
be treated as equals to men, but, is
this what they really want? After reading

wants to be treated as an equal, let her
be a man and sign her name as a man, not
as an alias. Don't let her criticize
the man since she is equal to man and
that's lust what she asked forg
