The struggle for women to gain rights is very similar to the struggle gay people have to endure. You probably would disagree with this. I wonder why it took so long for women in the West to gain the same rights as men. With half the population as an army, why has it been so long in coming? We're not even there yet. Two world wars were necessary to change a few things, because then women needed to join in the effort of making ammunition and bombs, most men were needed on the front or were already dead by then.
Whatever your attempts to change any constitution, any bill of rights or any human rights charter, it should only be met by failure. If only anyone was working at changing these for the better for all humankind, today it is only getting worse. It took us that long to gain those rights, we will not lose them now without the fight of the millennium. We will not go back to the dark ages.
People should update themselves, readjust their position and change their discourse. Should we just be uneasy about some questionable philosophies of life, or should we reject them outright? There may come a time when religion will no longer be acceptable in our society, and we're close to reaching that point, as many continue to diverge from international laws. I think we can agree that discrimination of any kind is not to be tolerated any longer?
I don't feel like I am man, but I don't feel like I am a woman either. I can share traits with both sexes, perhaps I have the best of both worlds, or the worst depending on the viewpoint. I am perhaps a bit too emotional, it turned out in time that many heterosexual men are more emotional than I am. I have also met women with less emotions than you would have thought possible. Quite often we act very much like we believe people think we should act. It no longer applies nowadays. We can all be as emotional or emotionless as we want, no matter our gender. I suppose it is a good thing.
If I had created this world, I don't think I would have thought of creating two sexes in order to permit reproduction. I would have gone for hermaphrodites, intersex and self-reproduction. I would even have gone for spontaneous generation of life out of nothing, instead of this idea of needing life to create life.
We still have no clue about how life came to be in the first place, and why there are generally speaking two sexes with a string of anomalies in between, which are also part of nature since they exist in nature in large numbers. I say all mistakes were intended, for some unknown purpose. What is in nature belongs to nature, it is natural. How can it be otherwise since it is within nature?
I am also surprised as to how women could have gone so low in history, to virtually be the slaves of men for so long. I could not have thought of that on my own, growing by myself without any teaching or example, and suddenly come across women later on and decide that they were inferior to men. Then again, I am not a real man, and so perhaps I cannot understand the instincts of real men. Maybe for them it is only natural and logical that women should be inferior, and only through the force of law can they be made to understand that it cannot be this way, because half the world at least will not stand such an idea.
In fact, growing up with my sister who is 3 to 4 years older than I am, and being much more powerful physically than I was for many years, I could have thought that women were born to rule over men, men being destined to be their eternal slaves. I have been beaten up by my sister for long enough to have thought that, if society had not told me otherwise eventually.
