Here I was just trying to be a smart@$$ and you guys get all serious on me!! 
Well IQ, Im just one girl in a sea of millions so I cant speak for anyone but myself. So I wouldn’t dare insult my “sisters” and speak for them.
I do think all or most women would agree to equal pay, and rightly so.
As far as relationships are concerned, some women prefer being in charge all the time, both at work and at home.
Personally Im very old fashioned. I like a guy to be my equal, yet know he’s “in charge”. I love a man to open the door, pull out my chair, etc., etc. To me there is nothing sexier than a man being manly because it makes me feel more womanly. (If that even makes any sense.)
Im in charge of a large department at a very busy hospital and when I come home the last thing I want to do is be in control of my man.
Heck, in a perfect world I’d love to be married, stay at home, and have dinner on the table for hubby when he walks in the door, and be his dessert afterwards! ;->
But the reality of it is Im single and usually have a protein shake, by myself, for dinner, and the only dessert I get is usally self induced! LOL Oh well…nothing’s perfect.
Equality sexually? Oh heck yeah…Im all for that! I defenitely think a woman should have the same right to sleep around (if she so chooses) and not be called a slut. A woman should be able to be open and honest about her sexuality and the desires/fetishes she has without being criticised or the man feeling intimidated. Women love sex, positions, orgasms, toys, and experimenting just as much as a man does.
In my experience I have found when a man is intimidated by me sexually its usually because he is lacking in self esteem and/or other areas of his life. I have no time for such men. I need someone who can keep up with me mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually, physically, and sexually. If he cant…he needs to find someone else cuz I ain’t the girl for him!! [/quote]
Good answer, and don’t worry your original humour wasn’t lost on me 
I just find this an interesting subject and saw this as an opportunity to get another opinion.
As for pay and workplace conditions, as long as a person can do the job they deserve the pay regardless of their sex so no arguments there.
There is another side to equality in the workplace, we have now reached a situation where some men have to tread on egg shells from the fear of being accused with sexual discrimination, this doesn’t seem to work both ways as women can still say whatever they want and be as “touchy feely” as they like (which is fine by me for the record).
By my definition of equality the same people who fight for women’s rights should be fighting against this kind of inequality as you can’t pick and choose when it comes to equality, we are all either the same or we are not.
There is nothing wrong with being old fashioned as long as the woman who wants her man to be the traditional definition of a man is willing to be the traditional definition of a woman.
I respect that you say that you would want the traditional relationship in an ideal world. The issue I have is with the women who want parts of the traditional relationship but don’t want to keep up their part of the bargain (yeah I said it ).
Now for the dessert. I would think that most men these days realise that women like sex too so if you’re with a woman that’s revealing all of her sexual desires she may want to fulfil them with you and that sounds good to me.
As for promiscuity that’s a tricky one because I think that’s all linked to traditional ideals, and on the one hand it’s fair to apply traditional ideals to women as long as they apply traditional ideals to men (purely in the interests of equality of course).
On the other hand personally I think that women should have the right to sexual liberation, throw off the shackles which have bound them thus far and accept all requests for sex that they receive 
In all seriousness, maybe it will change in time but old opinions die hard.
