Reasons To Disagreefemales are the weaker species 4 August 2008
There is no gender, there is the Force 27 August 2008
women are weak in the force they give into ther shoe lusts and such! 2 September 2008
Women base their actions on emotions there fore having more chance of going to the dark side 14 September 2008
DARTH FLUFFY BUNNY believes in sexism, and sex 26 September 2008
There is a great un-balance to the force in this realm. A true jedi does not give in to emotions. A true jedi follows the will of the force. Flows in and through the force. Sacrifice your ego. if a woman from this realm can truly let go of their darkside completely, then let them become Jedi Masters, for in the force we are all . 9 December 2008
It was once said that a Jedi is neutral. Well it is for this reason that I disagree with this statement. If a Jedi is to be truly neutral, then shouldn't their gender be neutral too? How can one expect to be completely un-biased when tied down by affiliation with a sex? So I have a proposition. Shouldn't a true jedi remove their genitals, and all sexual organs, and become one with the force. But perhaps these means are unnecessary. But I still disagree with the statement.. No one considered a woman, or man, should be allowed a senior rank in the church. Only those who have no need for gender, and to whom gender is truly irrelevant. I will end my rant on this note. No one is truly un-biased when gender is taken into consideration. In a perfect world, we would have no need for that distinction bar the basics of reproduction. Please let true eqauality reign. 3 January 2009
Women are a disturbance to the Force. 23 January 2009
Women shouldn't be even because women don't know how to lead and even if they do. They can be easily replace and they can be easily raped! like hand banana does to Carl off of aqua teen hunger force :D 3 June 2009
Women are weak and will be crushed by the likes of lord vader! 1 July 2009
No because every 30 days they go to the Dark Side. 25 September 2009
None of the great leaders were female, they cant teach the ways of the force. 6 November 2009
women may reach the higher of the lower ranks, but should not be allowed to reach the higher section of ranking 8 November 2009
Weak with the force they are, women are a weakness to males and provide greed, jealousy and anger to males, paths to the dark side of the force they are. kiz 5 March 2010
With my experience in life, Womens emotions can get in the way of intelligent decision making at times. Not to say that they cannot make intelligent decisions, but that they tend to decide by emotion. 12 March 2010
the lusts will corupt them to the dark side 13 March 2010
i agree women can easily go to the dark side and betray their fellow man. women are men with extra features. and should be used as maids and schoolteachers and police office 17 May 2010
I think that they should clean and cook for our senior jedi leaders to show them their upmost respect. 29 June 2010
anal 8 July 2010
Woman are there to serve men and this is what they should do, matters like faith are to hard for them to understand and there emotions may get in the way of their decisions 2 August 2010
A true jedi does not give in to emotions. A true jedi follows the will of the force. if a woman from this realm can truly let go of their darkside completely, then let them become Jedi Masters 17 August 2010
HELL NO!!! 18 October 2010
WOMEN ARE INFERIOR 15 November 2010
They are as much a part of the force as men. 28 February 2011
Women suck at lightsaber fighting.... 22 March 2011
It depends on each individual woman. Women develop wisdom at different ages. Also some men act like teenagers their entire life. They over indulge themselves and never grow any wiser than a boy. Most of these men depend on a woman to care for them like a child. It is called the Peter Pan syndrome. In general I think a wise and mature woman should be able to hold senior rank or even higher rank than a man but it should be considered on an individual basis... 24 March 2011
They will spend all of the force on shoes and their nails. 25 February 2012
Females are weak minded and easily give into the temtation of the dominant species penis. 2 March 2012
There is no gender, there is only the Force 17 April 2012
women are a disturbance to the force, they must be eliminated from the Jedi art 23 July 2012
I will challenge any woman who thinks they deserve the same rank in a lightsaber dual, i have studied both sides of the force, i have a true understanding of the force, as the great master zyzz would say, Come at me in an aggressive manner male sibling. 23 July 2012
Women are most certainly inferior and weaker. 13 February 2015
Women's are obvs the reason the Dark side exist, simple scientifically proven studies... - Me, Me. (2016). Personal communication. 17 October 2016
Women base their actions on their emotions, therefore making it much more likely to be seduced to the dark side of the force 3 November 2016
Ha! Women. Personally I think they should have never been allowed to leave the kitchen. 25 August 2017
Women are more superior to men because they give birth to men. 16 June 2018
They sucks! 11 January 2020
NOT AT ALL 1 December 2023
men are just better at everything tbh. The force came to me in a dream and told me that women were sent from Darth Plaguies as a distraction to ultimately distract us from achieving our utmost goal: being one with the force. Every day, I try to do my meditations but my mom walks in and she tells me to "get a life, get a job, go back to school, yak yak yak." Women like her just can't see the bigger picture. I have a job. My job is my duty to the jedi order. 22 January 2025

Reasons To AgreeAll Jedi should be treated equally. 12 July 2008
SILLY QUESTION, OF COURSE THEY SHOULD. 18 July 2008
Woman have the exact same rights as any Man, so of course they should. 19 July 2008
We are not misogynists, women can be just as powerful Jedi as males. There is no need to fear, for fear lead to the Darkside of the Force! 25 July 2008
Men and women and in between are all equal. 30 July 2008
Woman can be just as wise and have just as much knowledge as a man. 4 August 2008
I think that woman and men should be treated equal but not the same. Bio-logically and mentally, women and men are rather different. Biologically, women may have such things as paternity leave and if the head of the whole jedis was on maternity leave then everythings going to be put on hold. Women also are mentally on average, make decisions with influence of emotions and generally cannot gain as much power as what the average man can. however, in reguards to intellegence and logic, women are good, if not better than men. For these reasons, I think that women should be allowed to have senior rolls, but not the highest of the highest positions. 5 August 2008
All jedi are equal in hte ways of the force 5 August 2008
Regardless of gender, all Jedi are equal. 9 August 2008
women are fundamental to our cause and should be shown equal valiance and respect 10 August 2008
Come on its the 2100 Century same rights for all 13 August 2008
For every Man on earth...there is and equal woman. 14 August 2008
We should do away with boundrys between the sexes. 14 August 2008
My mother is a religious leader and she does very well so I know that women do well 15 August 2008
All the humans are equal to the force 21 August 2008
I don't think the question is correctly formulated. I think it should be: "Women and men should be given equally fair opportunities to reach the same senior ranks." Most of what discourages many women to advance is the attitude towards them while climbing the social ladder. But yes, I do agree they should be treated equally, with respect to the differences that make them stronger. 25 August 2008
We're not in the middle ages. 25 August 2008
y shouldnt women have the same rank 27 August 2008
All Jedi, if male, female or other, are equal in the force. So Women therefore should be allowed to reach senior rank. 31 August 2008
the force should not be sexist.. everyone should be treat the same. 31 August 2008
the force should not be sexist.. everyone should be treat the same. 6 September 2008
This must be the religion of the equality.It's true that we are differents, but with the same rights.And we can have the same perception of the force. 8 September 2008
women can be just as strong as men and should be allowed every right. 12 September 2008
We all need to have balance in our lives this includes us men to be in touch with our feminine side. 14 September 2008
Equality is the only way to advancement, and jedi-ism has no room for bigits who judge people by any thing except their actions. 18 September 2008
the force does not diferentiate sex .. we are all one with the force 24 September 2008
i think than thay are gided as any other 27 September 2008
Every Jedi is equal. Even the thought of not allowing it is stupid. Women have been proven to be emotionally stronger than men. 29 September 2008
all of us are made by the same thing, does its make us different? 6 October 2008
All beings in the universe are equal in the force therefore woman should be allowed. 8 October 2008
All people are equal, the force is with all of us, Master Shaak Ti was a great Jedi and was female 8 October 2008
In order to be an equal and unprejudiced spirituality, this must be so. We wouldn't want to be confused with some other popular religions, would we? 10 October 2008
THERE IS NO GENDER, ONLY /FORCE/ 14 October 2008
All Jedi should be treated equally. 14 October 2008
The power of the force, and the wisdom to use that power are all that matter 15 October 2008
women have there belive to if the want to be a senior member then let them 19 October 2008
Of course, they are as part of the force as men are. 25 October 2008
We all Jedi are equal on the eyes of the force 27 October 2008
They have nice boobies and stuff Although cooties could be a problem We'll manage.. 7 November 2008
We are all equal 8 November 2008
Lets not be like the Catholic Church... 23 November 2008
Becuase they are Queeny! 25 November 2008
gender, race, species, these things are insignificant. Knowledge of the force and ability to lead are all that matter in a council member 1 December 2008
Aye, gender or race should not be a barrier. All are equal, despite the differences. Diversity makes us stronger 2 December 2008
Its in the jedi code. All species of the universe are equal. this includes women. May the force be with you 2 December 2008
As a female, I see no reason I would be any less capable than any man. Its whats in the heart and minds that is important. 4 December 2008
The Force will dictate in the end 6 December 2008
this is a ridiculous question. but I'll answer it and hope for more serious questions 8 December 2008
the force is in all universe, the knowledge must be teached to any one who is in the religion 10 December 2008
Gender means nothing to the truth of the Force. 17 December 2008
Yes,we can know more woman in here 31 December 2008
Women Are Part of the world and should be accepted as equals 1 January 2009
If you disagree with this, you are a sexist bastard 3 January 2009
It's not only important, but essential that the female energy be included,because of the caregiver archetype. Without it, there would be no healing aspect, to balance the warrior archetype. Luke Skywalker had a balance of these. Because of that, he was able to retain his love for his father, thereby avoiding falling to the dark side, and becoming a pawn of the emperor 4 January 2009
Sex matters not. 9 January 2009
All are equal in the force 10 January 2009
In the force's eyes, both men and women are equal. 13 January 2009
Woman are one with the force as men are. The force isn't biased toward sex so we the followers shouldn't be either. 15 January 2009
women are just as one with the force as males and so therefore they they should be able to reach the same rank. 24 January 2009
Woman can do anything man can do, in high heels. 27 January 2009
A true Jedi knows there is no distinction between male & female. We are sides of the same coin. 27 January 2009
The Force itself is not sexist. 28 January 2009
The force does not discriminate 28 January 2009
we are all born equally with the force and all of us should be at one with it, We all join the force again when we move from our body shells. Man and Woman are born equally andf should be respected equally. 4 February 2009
I can't say again what has already been said by everyone else. 7 March 2009
Woman and Man are only at full power together! 20 March 2009
No need to justify. 24 March 2009
Let the women vote 31 March 2009
Balance can only be acheived through equality and so you need men as well as women. 2 April 2009
Yes, in the WAR of good vs evil , every options should be explored. 18 April 2009
Diversity provides the greatest strength. Women are an example of the possible extent of diversity. 18 April 2009
Rank should be defined by ability not sex. We are all part of the Force. 19 April 2009
i yes , not because im female, but i think it should be quall and not sexised 28 April 2009
we are all from 1 force 30 April 2009
If the force doesnt have sexist actions, why should we? 20 May 2009
Women Jedi are equal to men and should have the same rights. 25 May 2009
If they can then should they 28 May 2009
I am suprised this is an issue, we should not be arguing about this instead focus the energy on a more positve light. 29 May 2009
I personally think that all people should be treated equally. 31 May 2009
All Jedi are to be treated equal. Without woman, we men would not be here! what a silly question!! 3 June 2009
Women are driven by emotion, so it is dangerous to except them, however they should be allowed to reach the higher levels, regardless. 4 June 2009
if you follow the code it shouldnt matter 4 June 2009
all things are equal 4 June 2009
The division between the sexes leads to disagreement, and often fighting. This leads to darkness. The differences should be embraced and capability be the true judge of what an individual is capable of. 9 July 2009
the force is for everyone who chooses it. 9 July 2009
i just ranked a supreme master jedi for a female for the same ranking that i have, but i takes only patience to get her ther 28 July 2009
Girl power ftw! 8 August 2009
All humans are equal through the eyes of the force. 11 August 2009
All living things have The Force flowing through them. 20 August 2009
Men and women are equal. I have worked with women in the military and as a police officer and they are just as capible as men, so why shoudn't they be able to reach senior rank. 24 August 2009
Most definately!!! I don't even understand why this is in question. Religious sexism, in my opinion, is a barbaric and primitive pattern and should and WILL be broken. The Force lives through all of us; separate genders only exist for the necessity of our procreation. 2 September 2009
all beings are equal to the force it dousnt matter what the sex is. 13 September 2009
A Female Jedi is as capable of understanding the Force and portecting life as any Male Jedi and as such are equal in the Force. To further the idea, a Female has a special connection with the Force in that the Female is the vessel by wich the Force brings life into being. 19 September 2009
The opportunity should be given to all. The ability to advance in the Force depends on the indivigual. The fact that women are more prone to emotional influence may hinder their advancement, but should not be used as a reason to omit them from the process. A woman's ability to over come her predisposed basic nature should prove their worth that much more. Ultimately, this could result in a even stronger willed Jedi. 20 September 2009
Women brings lives to the world and the life is FORCE. 23 September 2009
The important thing is not gender but the example that the person represent 23 September 2009
all are equal 26 September 2009
While some may say women are the more emotional sex I disagree; it is not the generalization that they are more emotional that is correct, it is the generalization that Humans are emotional that is. There is a strength that is within us all, both men and women, let us build upon it, for then we will be at peace with the force and we will let it flow through us. 28 September 2009
Yes. All who follow the code should be allowed equal opportunity to advance rank. A man can be as easily seduced as a woman. For this reason, perhaps only those who have taken a vow of celibacy & are content to remain in celibacy should be allowed to reign as Supreme Jedi(Honestly, I don't actually know the official title), for attachment to a significant other can cause one's devotion to the faith to falter. As one member suggested, maternity leave could be an issue with a woman as Supreme Jedi, & if we were in the movies, I would agree. However, in real life I can't see this as being as big an issue. After all, the Jedi Church isn't going to war (under our own command), are we? In closing, I feel I should state that I am male & not a paying member yet; but only because I am dirt poor. I am seeking to be a minister or other active participant in a mimistry...& as an eclectic(with no current way of paying for minister school), have not yet chosen a church. Please pray for me in this time of crisis. Amen. You may contact me at artofclark@hotmail.com 30 September 2009
no matter what gender should have the same right 1 October 2009
alot of this made no sense 2 October 2009
Jedi should be treated equally. 4 October 2009
I think to even ask this question reflects poorly on this organization. (so do the list of "Cons") What was the point? How can you be sure there are not already Women heavily invested? 13 October 2009
Is sexism not morally wrong? 13 October 2009
This is a pointless Question, of course they should. Women tend to give into lust a whole lot less then men and they are usually smarter then the general populace of men. take "Master Shaak Ti", from the star wars movies, she was a master. Women are stronger than men when it comes to intelligence and political diplomacy. 20 October 2009
Equality is key. Without it there will be a distrust between peoples and that should be ruled out completely. Women have just as right in everything as we men do. 25 October 2009
The Force is not biased. 28 October 2009
every one should be treated the same. 31 October 2009
The Force itself is not sexist. 7 November 2009
Women are the great creation force in the universe and should therefor be equal or greater than men. 12 November 2009
All life is born of woman. Women are human. 13 November 2009
i agree yay for women jedi! 19 November 2009
Any nay-sayers really can not tell the difference between metaphor and day to day literal language. A lot of things about the force cannot be expressed with literal language, hence metaphorical language. Analogies, parables, come into play to help your mind transfer your comprehension of one experience to another. It's not about light and dark any more than it is about man or woman. 21 November 2009
There is no place for inequality within the order. 27 November 2009
Yes women are no less in the force as men 8 December 2009
Discrimination of any kind is undesirable. Gender is irrelevant. 16 December 2009
the differnces are minor between male and female spiritually. The force no's not gender. although physically woman on average are weaker this should have no affect on the rankings of the church 26 December 2009
women should be allowed to reach the same level as all jedi are, as i feel, are equal in title of administering the force within all of us 30 December 2009
To vote otherwise would be based on emotional bias, based on hindering the potential of others. 1 January 2010
If we are all considered equal in the force, there should be no reason to discriminate based on gender or any other physical attribute. 11 January 2010
The Force is in every living species throughout our universe and as such the female of ours has every right to take on the doctines and rank if proved worthy. 20 January 2010
i almost though they couldnt be jedi in star wars, but they can do i'm going to almost agree 21 January 2010
The force is in us all so why not let our wemon be able to reach senior ranks. 21 January 2010
we all draw from the force 25 January 2010
Regardless of species, gender, ethnicity, orientation, or age we are all one in the Force 27 January 2010
Of course Women should be allowed to reach the same Senior Rank as Men. Discrimination leads to conflict, and conflict often leads down the Dark side of the Force. 27 January 2010
yes they should all jedi should be treated equaly no matter gender. if your a strong enuff leader and you got the skills and you are a woman then yes. 29 January 2010
jedi belive that every one is equal and this in cludes women as well 5 February 2010
I strongly believe in the practical sense but spiritually I don't think gender should matter to begin with 11 February 2010
We all draw equally from the Force and should be equal in all areas. 19 February 2010
Its simple really. Why should one creation or body containing a soul/force/whatever you believe be superior to the other? why should a cat be more important than a dog? Both genders/ capsules/bodies have equal capabilites and knowledge. its stupid to even THINK men are superior, and that women should not have these rights. 22 February 2010
I am smarter, stronger, and more clever than any man I know, especially Jonathan Boulos; therefore, women should be allowed to reach and exceed any senior rank of a man. 26 February 2010
there is only ONE in the FOFCE. 28 February 2010
The force knows no need for gender discrimination. 9 March 2010
Women are equal to men in all respects be it strength or intelligence 13 March 2010
We are Jedi, we are above such differences of men and women, we are all trained to not let our emotions cloud our judgement. 13 March 2010
All life is equal. 16 March 2010
MEN AND WOMEN HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AND SKILS, MEN HAVE MORE STRENGHT BUT MALES HAVE INTUITIONS... 16 March 2010
there is no men without woman 17 March 2010
Women can become great and wise leaders, but they must be as strong in the force as any man they wish to be a peer of. 17 March 2010
If a man wants to be in charge of the telling of fairy tales why not a women 17 March 2010
of course 17 March 2010
Everyone is equal and should be treated as such. 18 March 2010
Women are equal to men. That is the way of the Force. The duality between Light and Dark, up and down, left and right, male and female. Where they bring life, males bring death. Where we are strong, they are wise. The Force is about balance. 19 March 2010
All Jedis are of equal rank whether a woman or man or anybody in between. it is our faith to be equal as one, the force is one- it doesn't need gender. we jedis r all of one... 20 March 2010
We are same 20 March 2010
The Force with all of us, both men and women. 20 March 2010
the force is in all of us 21 March 2010
The force has no gender. 22 March 2010
We need to practice what we teach. 26 March 2010
We are all humans 27 March 2010
There is no reason why females can not reach the same rank as males. We are all a part of the Force. And the Force does not judge based on age, gender or race. 29 March 2010
woman as a species are fundamentally equal to a man in every way, except maybe physical strength but any worthy female chosen by the force will overcome any physical struggle. 30 March 2010
Women are not weaker than men and there are female Jedi out there. All Jedi and humans and creatures of every kind must and will be treated equally. 1 April 2010
All are equal. 2 April 2010
Of course 2 April 2010
the force made both men and women, we come from it. There is no difference in the force, no weakness. Both men and woman are strong and nessesary in thier own way. 5 April 2010
Women represent 51% of the human race. (That's right.) I would NEVER join any organization discriminate against THE MAJORITY of people. It's ludacrous. 8 April 2010
In essence we are yhe same and have the same potential to do and become whatever if propose 13 April 2010
The force within oneself does not diminish ones ability regardless of their physical strength. your ability to reach senior ranks should be based on the Force you have within yourself, should it not?? 16 April 2010
The Jedi seeks to preserve the balance of the force so why not preserve the balance of equality. As we are all of the force we are all equal regardless of sex. 30 April 2010
women and men are equal to the force 1 May 2010
The force is in all life in the universe therefore any scentient beings male or female should be treated equally. 1 May 2010
if it was unfair, i wouldnt even consider myself a jedi. 6 May 2010
Strength knows no gender. The strong should lead and the weak should follow. 6 May 2010
women & men should be equal. 11 May 2010
Women, are just men with a vagina. 15 May 2010
THE FORCE IS LIFE. LIFE HAS NO GENDER. ONLY THE WEAK FEAR, COMPETITION DRIVES THE DARK SIDE. TO RULE AND CONTROL IS ABSOLUTE. THE ARGUMENT IS MUTE... TO PREVENT ANYONE FROM COMPLETING THEIR JOURNEY IS WEAK, FEARFUL OF COMPETITION & TRYING TO RULE AND CONTROL. 19 May 2010
As a male I see no reason why women can't hold the same rank 20 May 2010
The force is in us all, so rank should be decided by ability and strength with the force, not biological factors such as species and gender. 22 May 2010
I agree because we all return to the force when our life reaches its final point, thus making us equal there. So we should be equal in life. We should not hold 1sex back so another can prosper because that is not the jedi way. Holding them back could cause jealousy and lothing, both are equal paths to the dark side. We are Jedi and must not give in to the way of the sith. 26 May 2010
obvuuslyy! 2 June 2010
The force is in everyone 10 June 2010
be you male or female, it dosnt change anything 22 June 2010
there is no sexism there is the force 24 June 2010
Women are no more emotional than men, we are all equal beings of the force and we should never be in the way of any being, seeking the ways of a Jedi 26 June 2010
all are equal 3 July 2010
Of course Women should be allowed. 7 July 2010
If the force is strong, it should not be held back due to gender. 8 July 2010
I recall an Anakin Skywalker behaving strictly on his emotions. We all know where that got him. Obviously, it is not the women that should be worried about. O.o 12 July 2010
I like trains ... he he !!! 20 July 2010
The great force that binds us all would see us as equals rather than individual people 27 July 2010
of course, women are just as wise and intelligent as any man 28 July 2010
women are no weaker than men 3 August 2010
Gender must be irrelevant to allow the growth of Jedi. 20 August 2010
to block the path of individuals in this case women leads to corruption 20 August 2010
the only differance betweeen men and women is wo 25 August 2010
You can't tell a woman what she can or can't do when it was a woman who gave birth to you. 3 September 2010
If a woman shows she is worthy of the position, let her. If she shows skills equal to or better than someone of that rank, by all means let her have that position when it is available next. 7 September 2010
theres is no reason for all this woman can b jsut as strong in the force no one is better than anyone else here all of you who dissagree show fear and weakness in your ability to rely ur fellow jedi regarless of gender 12 September 2010
there is no male or female there is only the force 19 September 2010
The force has made many a good female jedi and so with that comment I plead to you look in side yourself into the force 22 September 2010
The Jedi consulate should be of mix race and gender, we welcom all with open arms who wish to learn the ways of the force. To block anyone from this, would only serve to make them seek acceptance elsewhere. Women are just as powerful as men, lets not lose them to the dark side, but seek there guidance, as they have much to teach the younglings as do we males. 27 September 2010
If a woman is knowledgeable enough in the force and adhere to our church the right way, then it is right for them to lead. 12 October 2010
Prejudice is a sign of fear, hatred or both evils together. Paths that lead to the Dark Side. Simply implying that women should not be able to reach a certain rank could very much well be a pathway that leads to a dark view towards women. One may be consumed by the Dark Side this way. Everyone is created as a neutral under the force. Most of us choose our path, others are chosen. Fate is blind to race, species, sex or religion. Fate works the same way on women as everything else. Everyone is capable of the same evil and good as everyone else. Those who degrade women are truly of the influence of the Dark Side. 13 October 2010
It is their belief that counts, not their sex 14 October 2010
No doubletalk -- until we reach a society that completely disregards gender, which isn't likely, then we must be specific. Yes, women are equal to men, equally as capable, and should be able to reach any rank that men of equal devotion can. 4 November 2010

There is no difference between men and women in the force except for the gender. Both genders are equally important and equall in the force and therefore there should not be a discussion on this. Should the council decide to bestowe a certain rank on an individual the decision is not made depending on an individuals gender but on their knowledge, understanding and connection to the force. I would like to place here my plea to the council to determine a ratio of answers to a question to determine if the vote passed or not and provide results on a forum. 4 March 2011
I agree strongly on this as I believe that anything else would lead towards the Dark Side. 5 March 2011

women can have just as much if not more influence over people 28 December 2011
Theme: Women and the force There are arguments against the fact that emotions are the downfall of women and that is why they should not have any high status concerning the hierarchy of Jedi rank. First of all; This question goes against the very idea of the Force. It ridiculous that anyone would even consider asking such a thing. Why would women not be allowed? The Jedi Church is all about the study of the equilibrium of the Force. How can anybody retain any balance if they won?t consider both sides. There is no WOMEN or MEN because the Force is distributed into us equally. To prohibit another from studying the Force, or initially the self, is a hypocrisy that will turn one away from their own introspection. Much like the Light and Dark forces in one?s own being, Men and Women are also Opposite beings that reflect upon one another; there could be no men without women and no women without men. Just like there cannot be a light without a dark or a dark without a light. But to say that a woman and a man have characteristics that the other cannot attain is fundamentally wrong; the spirit of the Force is that there are endless possibilities and questions that can be answered through attaining a balance, a healthy mind, and a healthy body. Additionally; Emotion is not something that you can just simply banish, no matter what gender you are. It is a ?habit? that one must fine tune, prune, and slowly ease. Emotion is what drives us. It is our reflex of survival. 29 December 2011

Women and men contribute they same as each other to the human race and to society, so why shouldn't women have the same rights as man?

We are all spiritual beings within these vessels called bodies... within this concept of factuality, it is therefore only logical all genders, regardless of shape, form, race, creed be seen as equals and treated as so... for once the body dies, the spiritual being is released, freed... and in that, it no longer has an identity of class, race, or any other limitations. 17 February 2024

Reasons for Remain Neutral
i am neither dark or light, i am staying on the neutral side
women are lower class sayians i myself am a super sayian and i say women shouldent be allowed
Disagreement in this leads to the dark side and the fact this statement was put forward disgusts me, Soon we shall all return to the force and be one were there is no gender no difference so why treat each other differently we are all human we are all alive we are all conscious
i agree
Anyone who thinks women shouldn't needs to get some counseling.
Gender bias and gender discrimination?
We all know what is right and wrong, to remain neutral is the 'right' decision, in my opinion.
You are limited to your own abilities of being with the force. Gender matters not
if by equal you mean hoover and do the dishes then sure
I'm staying nuetral on this. I know some girls that would make some excellent leaders, some that have been great leaders, but then there's that little problem of my living in a house with 3 females. Let me just say, If anyone believes that femininity doesnt have a darker side, I'll trade places with you.
The force has no prejudice. It does not hate nor does it love. To find an answer one must close their eyes, open your mind....then the answer will you see.
Me, as a Jedi believer, dont mind about RANKS, just the thought of FORCE I mind.
There is no prejudice in the force, Women and Men are both equal, one is not weak, one is not strong.
Absolutely agree. We are all manifestations of the force and we all bring unique and valuable qualities derived from the force.
in the beginning of our lives we all came from the force which created us equally and will, in the end, accept us equally.
The Force is a living repository of knowledge. It does not differentiate between genders and neither should you. Section.
As a Jedi i don't recognise ranks, only recognise the force i do. The force is a wonderful thing that we should share, not keep for ourselfes and be greedy, as that leads to the dark side.
I am a netural vote on this one. It is better to let what happens happen than to force your will upon the world.
This question misses the crucial point. We should be asking what gender actually does effect, and deduce scientifically, what functions more aptly suit each gender, what positions should be gender specific, and what is healthy to teach the young regarding bio-gender and gender identity.
The Force is in all of us, gender is obscure.
the force has no gender
