Macy Gray: Women aren't equal to men, they're better

Article here. Excerpt:

'“I am not a feminist because that’s about equality. Women aren’t equal to men. We are better. We are so much bigger, so much more capable, and can do a lot more than men,” she explains in a straightforward manner.

“I think women have a lot more going on than men – so I wouldn’t call us equal. We are just better.”

Right then. Well that clears that one up. And while we are on the topic of women being badass and brilliant, Gray name checks one of her big female idols: Michelle Obama.'

Ed. note: I had never heard of her before, so of course went to Wikipedia to find out.

... 'bigot'. I wonder if she hasn't stopped to consider re whether or not men or women have 'more going on' that she is most likely alive today due to the medical knowledge developed by men or that she uses technology that was invented by men to make her living. Like many women, the inventions of men are so ubiquitous and their skills and abilities so form the very ongoing basis of civilization as we know it that she can't even see the obvious in front of her eyes. The contributions of men to humanity are like oxygen in the air; if they suddenly went away, there'd be a lot of gasping for breath, and then people'd notice how important oxygen was.
