bassa Are these right? They are grammatically right, although there may be better ways of saying them. Note that the second has an interpretation you may not want, namely, that women should be treated as if they were men.

1. Women and men should be treated equally.

2. Women should be treated as men seems to be trying to say that women and men should be treated equally, but it can also mean that women should be treated as if they were men, meaning that however you would act toward a man you should act toward a woman. In virtually no culture are women actually treated as if they were

Yes. CalifJim means California Jim. I live in California, my name is Jim, and I speak American English. I have lived in Michigan, in Indiana, in Maryland, and in Florida at various times. I have also visited almost all of the other states of the United States and several provinces of Canada, so I am quite familiar with American English.

This was double-posted -- I replied to the same post in another thread somewhere. I tried to explain the difference between, "Women should be treated as men" and "Women should be treated the same as men," but I didn't do it quite as well as Jim did.
