If men and women are equal (whatever that means) yet men "ruled the world for thousands of years..."

The obvious answer is that men never really "ruled the world." Women are more risk-averse so they prefer to exercise power indirectly. Feminists simply refuse to acknowledge female power and privilege because that would involve women taking responsibility for their actions.

It is of course an oxymoron - they're mutually exclusive.

i think its got to do with men being stronger physically than anything.

You're not familiar with Patriarchy theory or the concept of Internalised Misogyny then, clearly?

My people never ruled the world.

Not that you can expect logical consistency from feminists other than "it's men's fault".

So, men and women are equal, but to feminists men are subhuman garbage that would mindlessly trample over women because of our entitlement.

Women are weaker than men, physically and psychologically. Not too smart, neither. And not fond of work. All this adds up to millennia of male dominated societies. Good thing, too. If women were in charge we would have wiped ourselves out eons ago.

Rulers were men, is not the same thing as men ruled. There were just as many men as women toiling as peasants.

I mean, how can someone be dominated by an equal?

So what do you call all of the other men, then. This is a retarded question.

Wouldn't that mean men are superior?

No, it means men compete with each other.

Eh, not a very strong argument. An armed robber has power over you, but that doesn't mean he's "superior" in any way. When an oligarchy oppresses the masses, it's not because they're "superior", but probably because they're controlling the majority of the wealth and resources. Anyone could be in their position.

There is no "superior". Men are generally better at some things, and women better at other things. There's just differences. Any talk of superiority is a naive, child-like view of the world that speaks more to an individuals insecurities.
