However, I feel the need to critique part of it. I do not believe females are superior to males. I simply think that since men have been in power so long, they feel a deep urge to give up that power. If women ruled for the next 2000 years, they too would want to give up power...and power is a drug, regardless of sex. It corrupts everyone.

Basically I don't think the world would be better with women in control. It would be different, no doubt, but not better - it seems to me that people in general define their existence through suffering. Sounds depressing, but true.

How can there be peace, if there is no war? How can you appreciate life unless people die? Basically, something is only considered good, because something else is bad. Essentially a peaceful world is a stagnant one, devoid of emotion.

Also, a friend of mine said that the male gene is dying and that in, say 150,000 years, there will be no more men. What's your take on this? And if you agree...how will people survive? Reproduction requires two, despite techniques of artificial insemination, otherwise you are basically just cloning and clones...well, you get the idea.

That's pretty much it. Once again though, I love your site and will continue to recommend it.
