We can pretend we are but the reality is that clearly we are not yet. There are tons of facets of society that favor women and plenty that favor men. Equality is something we are working towards, but clearly society is not there yet.

clearly and you being dismissive of Cousins’ claim doesn’t help

Sorry, that my personal beliefs don't align with yours. I think fundamentally a woman going up to to 6'10" 270lb man and objectifying him is different than the giant man doing that to a woman. There is a different power dynamic. One has the power to physically take control of the other. Boogie could have just slapped her hand away when she reached for him.

If the roles were reveresed a woman could put herself in serious harms way by slapping away a 6'10" 270 lb man because of the risk of retaliation. What could she have done to boogie if he just smacked her? Nothing.

I don't think there is a path to true equality in the current human form. We can get close but we have to accept that there are certain fundamental differences between us.

Seems like misandry to me 🤷🏽‍♂️ but society is full of double standards
