"Every time someone attempts to champion the rights of women by claiming women are superior to men, the gender divide is deepened,"

I couldn't agree more with this.

It is absolutely impossible to claim any superiority by dint of any trait present at birth or conferred by culture. Handing preeminence to a birth trait is a copout: it sends essentially shitty people into the world with no perceived reason to change or become better. If you're kind because you're female, why attempt to be kind?

Women are more nurturing? More qualified in 'family life'? Tell that to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, which found that 58% of child abusers were female.

No one is a bigger assclown than a member of a 'superior' group. Any woman who makes a claim like this is not worth listening to further.

Women: they're caring, they're gentle, they're kind, unselfish and less aggressive;

HAHAHA. Good one.

Honestly though, it's really annoying that this stereotype persists in the minds of so many women (as illustrated by this article's author). Because none of those things are true. I know plenty of men who are loads more caring, gentle, kind, and unselfish than plenty of women. Now I don't think most men are universally better either, but it's damn annoying that women are automatically assumed to possess all those qualities while men are assumed to lack them, until proven otherwise.

Yep. Feminists like to claim equality when it benefits them (Affirmative action, etc). But when it doesn't, they pull out the "superior at [unmeasurable trait]" card.
