They are, but whatever, let's argue just for the sake of arguing. 

Lol, your level of butthurtness is intriguing. Did I hurt your feelings by daring to contradict you?

Trollolol. Guys come on.
It was a silly thought. It is non-canon, so merely a cheeky quirk of my imagination. I do think "attract" is a powerful status, and I like the current system.

Besides, attract and confusion are similar in having a chance factor, but they are very different in effect and longevity. The severity of each status depends on the situation and therefore " equivalent" doesn't seem to be the right word to capture this nuance. You can even choose the female gender of your pokemon just to reduce the chance of being attracted to male-dominated species.

Alistair wins.
