As we all watch the "rise" of women throughout the world -- we need to reflect: "why has it taken so long?" Then we need to take "action!"
Who has held the "chains of repression" so tightly -- via societal norms, religion, local mores, and family prejudices to keep women "in check" for so long? Who is to blame? All of us -- men and women -- are to blame. We have all held women back.
The "weaker sex," too emotional, too unschooled, "the Bible says...", "according to 'sharia law,' my Mom told me, my Aunts say "you just don't do things like that" and on and on. We have created the great inequality when really there is only differences, wonderful differences, that make the whole system work.
Why don't we have women Presidents in our history: in government, in business, in societies, in associations, in sports, in everything? Why are women placed as second class regardless of the situation.
Prejudice, ignorance, chauvinism, religious bigotry, Biblical and Koran misinterpretation (along with those of others sects), fake standards of comparison, ridiculous old tales that presume without proof, ad infinitum and ad nauseam.
And continue to Resist, the devil that is Donald!
