Here's A Shock for Women

Screen 41 of 52

It has been patriarchal religions like Christianity and Islam that has been in the forefront oppressing Women. Even today extreme Islam countries try to force Women to wear facial screens and discourage female education. Restrictions like this wouldn't be needed if men didn't fear the power of Women. In the past, Christianity used extreme violence against Women. In the infamous Witch hunts of the Medieval age the vast majority of millions of people who were tortured and burnt alive were Women. Suggesting again a real fear of Women becoming too powerful.

With the ending of oppressive laws and customs throughout the 20th century women have quickly gained near equality with men. I know to us a hundred years might seen a long time but in historical terms it is very quick for such a far reaching social change. If this rate of progress for Women is to continue during the 21st century then clearly Women will be ruling the world in another hundred years time.

What is clear is that men can only become the dominant sex by enforcing through violence and propaganda oppressive laws and customs against Women. This means that it is not natural for men to be the dominant sex if he has to put so much effort into keeping Women down. If we get rid of all these artificial laws and customs created by patriarchal men and follow our natural instincts then Women will naturally become the rulers of our World.
