I say YES: Boys Will Be Boys and Men will be Men. Without paradoxes. We are all and we will be a strange mixture of our past, present and future? But, all of us are not equal. The premise is: everyone you know are equal? Have you thought about meeting different people? Cultural barriers...? Regards.
Jose, I squarely reject your premise that we are not, cannot, be equal.
I will say we can all be ourselves, but when you're using these phrases to excuse bad behavior then we're done.
Sorry Rachel. But, I do not justify the bad behavior of men... Maybe I did not know how to explain myself...
What I say is that if you only know bad men, they will always be the same as bad ...
Bad men and bad boys will always be bad men and bad boys...
And we are not all the same...
My comment is to invite you to meet good men from other cultures and surely after knowing about them and check that there are good men, your opinion will change completely... Regards.
PS: One of my philosophical principles is Equity between people, and that obviously includes equity between men and women (both ways)... Excuseme, My English is so bad...
You are certainly excused, English is a terrible language.
Within the language, "boys will be boys" is usually used to excuse bad behavior. So while there is nothing technically wrong with the words, there is a lot wrong with the generally understood meaning behind the words.
....can you tell me one thing that is equal in human relationships?
Just one?
'Equality' is a cultural marxian abstract concept, attempting to twist reality- into the insnaity and then to call it 'normal'.
