  Could they have picked a more prejudicial and inflammatory title for a debate? Do women want to see men subjugated in business like they have been and is that nothing more than petty vengeance? Why not live and work as equals for once... straight, gay, men, women, minority, majority....let's see how that works out before we start writing off entire genders.
  
  What an absurd argument this must have been.

  I just want to add one more thing to my previous post...
  
  I don't believe that men or women are superior to each other. Just like one man or woman might be better at a specific task than another person of the same sex, the same applies between a man or woman, but on an individual basis and not as a trait between sexes or race.

  The online poll showing that the debate was lost seems more accurate to me.
  
  It seems to me that since more women are getting degrees (compared to men) and entering the workforce, it stands to reason that they will fill the most jobs. It's as simple as that and doesn't indicate any superiority.
  
  With the line of thinking in this debate, I could say that when the Hispanic population becomes the dominant race in the U.S. and and those women also graduate college at the same ratio as women today, that Hispanic women would be superior to white women. That would be total nonsense as is the logic of this debate.
  
  What would happen if all women dropped out of the workforce? We would loose some lawyers, doctors, and a few other professions. If all men were to drop out of the work force, we wouldn't have anyone to build our homes, fix our cars, or design new technology. In fact the entire nation would come to a standstill. Yet we would still have doctors, lawyers, and the other professions mentioned. Men still hold the most important jobs, perhaps not the most prodigious jobs, but the jobs that matter the most on a day to day basis. I value my garbage man a great deal more than I value the mayor in my town.

  I think that the panelists are totally unqualified. Where are the sociology, anthropology, history, women's studies, and or psychology people?
  
  What business do journalists have discussing ideas that require facts and statistics in a historical context . . .

  I'm disappointed with this particular debate in all honesty, the motion itself makes no sense. We as a society have decided that men and women are equal in the eyes of the law, are we now going back in history and reversing the roles? If not what is the point of the question? This idea in general is ridiculous and i really can't find the use in even asking the question any more that i can find the use in asking if men are better that women.
  
  In the end the real question is: does it matter either way? As long as both genders have the same opportunities it will work itself out and asking these type of question can only do harm.

  The agenda of the most radical feminists has never been gender equality, but rather (female) gender dominance.
  
  In a way, the "debate" is foolish. Let all people compete on an equal footing in all spheres of human activity and let the best person win. I think both sexes are equally important and necessary to the human community.
