I think humanity has evolved to a crossroads, do we face the reality of who we are, or carry on in our comfortable existence.
But when I look at our broken down world, I know that only embracing reality can possibly be a way ahead, when I look at recent news stories about conservative systems and how they treat women for instance, then I know the status quo is not good enough.
Its time to stop being the normal, and be the extraordinary, even if that change means chaos for a while. After all democracy and equality was paid for with chaos and blood.
In the end I don't believe evolution will allow us to stand still, it certainly hasn't in the past.
Amazing that you guys never notice that evolution made women so that men could dominate them.
That is evolution, it's not an intelligent thing, it supports those who are physically the strongest and more able to impose their will. Amazing that your god (supposedly an intelligence) would endorse it or make it that way though, seems he too is at the mercy of survival of the fittest.
The point is now it is being challenged and we can look forward I hope to a better future for both our young men and women. It wont be easy though, truth never is.
