Some questions for all you feminists out there (men and women alike):

You claim that:

1) The sexes are both equal

2) Throughout hundreds of years of civilzation, a male-dominated
   society has evolved

3) This situation continues to exist today, despite the efforts of
   feminist organizations

How do you account for the evolution of this male dominance? If the
sexes are in fact equal, what motivation would men have for wanting
to put women in a subservient role? Also, by what means have men
managed throught history to "keep women in their place"? I don't see
much evidence that men are threatening women with guns or physical 
violence, so why do the majority of women cooperated throughout history 
and continue to cooperate with this male-dominated society?
