Men and women are not equal (doesn't mean that one deserve more justice than the other ) They have different roles in the human society. They have different potentials. Just like a washing machine and a preassure cooker have different roles and different potentials. Whashing machine can't cook the food, and the preassure cooker can't wash the cloths Even though it shows the difference in roles and potentials , this is not a good comparison. Because, men and women have same potentials,despite the differences in magnitudes. For example, both men and women can run. But men's world record is better than women's. But that doesnt mean that, the position of women comes behind the last man. Rather, the fastest woman is faster than 99% of men even though she is behind ( behind in speed ) the fastest man But in some areas women are far better than men. For example, i think women's emotional support is very important for our growth as human beings. Without this we can't develop into human beings. So, a world without women would be as dry as a desert or industrial land. Men have least/no contribution in this regard, i think. Fortunately human kind is blessed with women :)

On my opinion men are not more successful than women are. It only appears so. :) There is a saying: behind a powerful/successful man there is a powerful/successful woman. I know men who are successful because they have dedicated wives who sustain them emotionally, intellectually, sometimes materially too. Or men who achieved the highest level professionally because their mothers took care that they study as well as they could in school. To be successful in the educational field is perhaps more valuable than being the author of I-don't-know-what best-seller or creating a polluting engine....

I know males that can do the same you do, sleep WHOLE day and I think (from my perspective) a lot of men are quite this lazy. I think of women as more active and proactive (doing something ahead before other thing would happen). I guess the problem is the field where you want to be successful, there are certain things that because of our own nature, men can do more easily than women, but same happens with us women. Running a family and caring for children is like running an enterprise, at which men are not as good as women are. Maybe just try to first understand what's your definition of success as understanding it within its context, and then you'll find out if that's a man's or a woman's field in which you're trying to be sucessful at, then changing that paradigm can be a little hard, not impossible but hard. Good luck!

In my opinion. There are very few activities where success is predetermined by a physical characteristic. Individual limits have to be discovered and then explored by each person. If you accept someone else's definition of who you are and never challenge it, then you've given away control of who and what you are. Here's a "fact" most people wouldn't argue with; you have to be tall to play professional basketball. If Earl Boykins, who is 5'5", had accepted that he wouldn't have ever played in the NBA. So, what I'm saying is, even though, you might find that in general most men are more successful than most women at something, that doesn't give you an excuse to give up. Or even worse, to never try.

But it is necessary to recognize that in many countries there is a discrimination to a sexual sign. Having identical start the man is easier and faster does career, because at a choice "the man or the woman" prefer to choose the man. The same is true when applying for a job - the man has more chances. Because the man doesn't become pregnant, doesn't go in a maternity leave, he doesn't take the sick-list to look after children (he does not sit at home with children when they are ill), he can work late at night and during week-end, he doesn't ask vacation summer only to be together with the children on school vacation.... P.S.I apologize for grammatic mistakes
