About three
and a half million years ago a hominoid climbed down from a tree, walked across
the savanna, spied another hominoid, killed him with a rock and raped his
woman.
About two
hundred thousand years ago a Homo sapiens walked across a quarry in France, spied
a Neanderthal, killed him with a spear and raped his woman.
This has
been the hallmark of our species from the very beginning.
We are a
violent society by nature, and men are all predators at some level. The males of our species are driven by self-aggrandizement
and sex.
Women have
always been the victims of our patriarchal nature, and were often painted as a
defiler and emotionally unstable.
Prior to the
last four decades, women were simply considered by men as an available piece of
ass; wife mother and homemaker; or bitch/slut. Man’s rules.
Throughout the
last forty years we have been moving toward a genderless society; a society
where women will no longer be the habitual victims of men.
It has taken
women moving into positions of power previously monopolized by men to affect
this change: a woman twice running for President has, more than anything other
incident, moved to shatter the glass ceiling.
Men’s
accomplishments are outweighed by the outcome.
In only a few thousand years men have moved this world to the brink of
environmental disaster and nuclear annihilation.
I am old,
and no longer have a stake in the outcome; but it is my observation that the only
hope for humankind to avoid extinction is to replace men in power with women in
power. There are more women then men
and they could affect and change the outcome.
However, I
am not optimistic, for over 50% of the white women in this country voted for
Donald Trump. If women are not united,
then gender equality will be the least of humanities’ problems.
