Yes, sure, if a woman can do a job she should get paid fully for it. But I'm curious as to why feminists are so eager to be equal to men. What's so great about men that you have to be like them? I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with men but likewise, there's nothing wrong with women either. Men aren't better than women so there's nothing really for you to strive for. Women are fine as they are, there's no need to become like men in every way, not that I'm saying that's what you're saying. In some ways, men could learn from women, so I don't see why feminists put men on such a pedestal. Being a man isn't really a privilege, it's really just another expression of being human. I think the reason feminists have such a terrible reputation and image is because they appear to want to be like men, when men are happy with women as they are. The woman in the video with the bad attitude is an extreme example of a feminist, but wherever there's an extreme there are many others, and even if a feminist is just 50% as bad as the redhead in the video, that's pretty obnoxious.

If being a man isn't a privilege, how come men don't have to worry (usually) about being raped? How come men get higher pay? How come they are "head of the household"? We don't want to "be men" or "be like men", we want all peoples to be equal in consideration as individuals. None of this "you're a woman so you ought to stay home and take care of the kids" bullshit. None of this "you're a woman so you have to wear high heels".
(And vice-versa, by the way, guys - let your freak flag fly, as far as I'm concerned. Wear pink, wear heels, and do what makes you happy. I'm just arguing as a female because I am one, and because that's how this started, but I'm an egalitarian.)

It is sexist if I'd like to see only female members tear Macky a new one?

And women should only be concerned with what makes men happy, right?
Let's cut to the chase. What you've really been saying is that you want a woman that won't talk back and will make you a sandwich whenever you want. Good for you, if you can find one that is willing to do so. Just stop denigrating women that don't think they should have to be relegated to such a role.

Nah, they come hirsute as standard and don't require redemption. Yours aint - talk to the manufacturer about a rebate or replacement.
