The reason the "older" great philosophers were sexist was simply that our cultural evolution was not evolved to that stage of understanding yet. Plato rationalized slavery and Jeffersona and Washington had slaves. women couldn'tvote until 1919. what a disgrace. We have to look to today, and our present cultural understanding. The only big thing left to be accepted by all cultures is that gay bashing is exactly like racism. Period!! Going from there, we need to secure the existence of our species and planet. In California twice as many African American women go to college as black men. In law and medicene there are now more female students than men. Women work harder, are better organized, more honest and have more compassion. Today 99% of the wealth is owned by men. And every major religion is blatantly sexist and especially the Catholic and Mormon religions. We either get smart or we die as a species. My bet is on women to do a better job ensuring the survival of our species than men.
