I let a woman do a mans job. She was a real feminists. She had this complex where a woman is equal to a man.
I had enough of her bs and put her back with the guys throwing these heavy maibags on a conveyor belt. It was her last day because she was too proud to tell me she injured herself.
Dig this and read carefully.
The term "feminist" has had it's definition changed drastically over the course of the last century. The most recent definition does indeed accuse the post-modern feminist of feeling entitled to more than a man does. Genders should be treated equally, and individual's capability to excel beyond or fall behind their peers should determine where they fall into society. Gender roles inhibit this, regardless of which gender plays which role.
So I agree with you 100%

Yes, some are, but as a sex, women may be generally more suited for the task. Everyone should be given the same rights, regardless of sex, but overall we will probably find that women will tend to do more of one kind of stuff, whereas men do another kind of stuff.

The "differences" you are speaking of are after-thoughts. We're talking about the "big picture" here, but you're going on about little menial differences that should not be considered when talking about equality.

Furthermore, if the "differences" only apply to some individuals, then why should we consider them when discussing the whole?

Not really.
Just stereotypes.

That's right. Women are incapable of rational thought, shouldn't be allowed to vote, ought to be forced to stay at home fixing meals for the man of the house.
When will people realize that women are INDIVIDUALS, same as men?

The Myth of Male Power: Why Men are the Disposable Sex (Simon and Schuster, 1st Ed., 1993; 2nd Ed., Berkely, 2000) is an internationally best-selling book by Warren Farrell. In the book, Farrell argues that the widespread perception of men having inordinate social and economic power is false, and that men are actually systematically disadvantaged in many ways.
...Farrell contends that this viewpoint creates psychological problems for both sexes: that "men's weakness is their facade of strength; women's strength is their facade of weakness."
