Part of the problem is that, women don't even support themselves. We are all beings with disregards to sexes and these opportunities are readily available to all but then, utilizing it becomes a problem as some women are sentimental towards each other on why should one attain certain heights in some organization.
Various sexes owes nature certain duties which most be done no matter what. For example, 'a male soldier will have a lot of comfort going on war trips while the wife raises their milking baby but, in the case of the female soldier, the case is different as you can't comfortably live a milking baby with the husband's and go in war trips!'
Science will always tell you that a man has more body muscle mass than women, fact! These are segregations of some sort showing that these extra muscles makes one suited better for certain duties and ensure certain amount of stress. Christianity teaches that a woman was created as a helper and to ensure procreation/continuity. So, women should act the part if you believe in the teaching, you can't help more than is needed. An imbalance in systems is a fault that can lead to the destruction of the whole process.
We can argue equal rights as we are all humans and suffer equal amounts of favourable and unfavourable aspects of our actions but equity in every aspect is doubtful.
