Thread: Women must submit to men?

Nikola Tesla predicted that society would someday be female dominated, run by "queen bees." Looking at history, you can recognize the sex dominance of societies as cyclical. There are examples of past societies in foreign lands that were run predominantly by women.

Given trends toward reason, athiesm, gender equality, etc. in the first world, I think that the issue of sex dominance will largely be moot once people get their heads out of their asses and realize that common sense is a better moral compass than a book aged well over two millenia written by slaveholders, wifebeaters, and barbarians. You want a real power struggle, look at the dominance of the wealthy over everyone else. But that's a different topic for a different thread.

Most of the world was dominated by woman, when people didn't realize men had a role in child birth.. That's when goddesses were highly sacred.

Duality can best describe our histories... We started with woman dominated world, than came the three religions that dominated afterwards the Abrahamic religions took over and they were male dominated... hopefully we can center and understand the importance of both sexes, in religious and/or reality based terms.

Priestesses

The myth that Eve was made from the rib of Adam was obviously written by illogical, misogynistic, insecure men.

In fact, what science actually tells us is almost the opposite. In the womb, every early fetus has the default template of female, until the Y chromosome takes effect on some of them and gives them male genitalia, testosterone, and so on. This is why men have nipples, because the Y chromosome takes effect a little late, when breasts have already formed. I'd LOVE to hear the bible's explanation of why men have nipples.

This is not to say that women are dominant. They're both equal. My theory is that the root of all our social and cultural sexism in society is in religion, because there's no doubt that religion shapes the culture of a people. Alternatively, it's also no secret that statistically more secular countries like Sweden also have a higher Gender Development Index.

I guess it's a good thing that America is becoming more secular.
