Why are women perceived as the lesser being?

That depends on what you would define as a "lesser being." Throughout history, most of survival was based on brute strength. I'll be using ancient tribal style living for examples, as that is the time when the most differences probably occurred. Due to hormonal differences, men develop more muscles then women do naturally, so they were stronger then their female counterparts, even if they were the exact same age. Because of this minor difference, men would often go and hunt, gather food, etc, while the women would stay back and take care of their children. Speaking of their children, that is likely another reason why they were perceived as lesser beings. If a woman at any point got pregnant, as soon as the baby started to grow, the woman was incapacitated for at least 5 months, depending on the size of the baby. This made women, dare I say, unreliable at gathering resources, and ideal for maintaining the shelter and "home base" persay. Gradually, the women became better at doing things such as preparing the food that the men caught, raising the children, making the clothes, etc, due to the fact that they weren't as capable with brute force. Eventually, this differences grew and grew between the two genders. Eventually, women received progressively less respect as people began to take their efforts for granted. It's nearly impossible to take food for granted, so men did not experience the same problem. Eventually, the problem kept on getting worse until the situation that we have these days occurred. Granted, women have just as many rights as men do today, as equality is something we are constantly striving for in modern society. So that is the main reason why women are generally considered "the lesser being." Trust me, if women disappeared from the earth for a month and then spontaneously re-appeared, no living man would ever take their existance for granted again.

I absolutely love how people disregard entire rants in favor of a single controversial line.

Oh internet, you so infuriating.
