how barbaric we humans where really until just about 50 years ago... People need to dwell on the fact we allowed people to have SLAVES just 150 years ago. 150 years ago?
Human slavery and trafficking continues; fisherman, domestics, forced prostitution. Fueled by debt and manipulation, sometimes avoided through privilege.
The good news is that the women are studying those subjects, it seems, much more than the men, and maybe they will be our salvation? In the world of human trafficking of women, sadly, women often play a big role as perps. Greed is not chromosome and/or testicle-specific. Neither is wisdom. it certainly is a social tragedy and waste when a qualified woman was/is unable to have an equal opportunity to make the difference and improve our lives impersonally. That is also to say I'm not so sure Ivanka or Melania would be better Presidents than Donald because they have vaginas.
I am hopeful that PEOPLE OF EVERY GENDER will wake-the-phuck-up and dump socialism vs, capitalism, faith vs. atheist, me/mine vs. you/yours, and other oversimplified status-quo dualities, for something relatively universally better for the most people all of the time. Lift and free everyone, not just a few. And that would include the health of the planet, by definition. |
