The Equality of Women world over

I was a recent member of a Bible Study Group at Christ Episcopal Church, Las Vegas.  I couldn't continue attending, but some of the women of the group thought I had something to offer in the fight for women's freedom for respect and dignity.

Years ago, women were in terrible subjugation.  The reasons for it were manifold.  1)  During their menstrual cycle they smell terrible!  Women knew it.  2)  Women died in childbirth frequently, leaving their loved ones to fen for themselves..  3) Women don't possess fighting prowess, in most cases.  They had to rely on men for protection.

So that what were men to think?  Were the women any different from the beasts that the men raised, e.g., cows, sheep?  They absolutely were driven to the conclusion that women were inferior to men;  I think; and they wrongly inferred that they could act towards women as they did toward their farm animals!

 What is more, Jewish men were inclined to think that God had given woman to him

But in the 1960s when all the psychological, medical data about women was evaluated, and the pill and other devices were readily available to women, the conceptual picture began to change--at least in Europe and the US.

No longer did women have to smell badly--you know, years ago, many years ago, women would be put in virtually an out-house during their menstrual cycle. No longer did it seem the case that women lacked in intelligence.  Indeed, today, business finds women have many positive skills lacking in their men counterparts.  No longer did it require that women be docile, while men be aggressive.  No longer did women have to submit to men to have children, even.

I submit men must give up their male aggressiveness.  It would diminish aggressive hostile acts..  If not, I submit, they'll be need for hormonal changes for the good of humanity!

Moreover, I submit that the world's social dynamics has changed forever by virtue of the great women's movement of the 1960s in the USA.

As to the Muslim countries, of, course,  men are still in control.  It will take time and much education for men to learn they can't dominate their female counterparts.  But the world has only so long to wait; and there are important cosmic factors that will mean the men could be subjugated, in my humble opinion.  Please note, men must change for the sake of the human race.. Well, that is one man's opinion!
