I like the salt analogy.

Although, I am of the opinion that we shouldn't treat women as special - just equals.

Whether we treat someone better or worse, we are discriminating. When we treat everyone (women/men/black/white/brown), there is no need for treating anyone differently (yes, treating someone specially is treating them differently and thus discriminating against everyone you don't treat equally)...

Not a rant, just my thoughts on how I think everyone is equal and should be treated so...
