Having bigger brains, and a more complex language does not preclude us from exploitation of resources. It does not preclude us from ignoring the damage of the environment that we depend on sustaining us.
We are the only species on the face of the planet that has created a garbage dump in the ocean which is the size of the state of Texas. We are the only species capable of affecting the climate to the point it affects weather, and our resources.
Fuck your "contract" bullshit. Women are not secondary to men. Women are EQUAL to men and in many cases they do better than men. I would be living on the streets today if it were not for the lifetime of work my late mother did to save for me. I never moved up economically. My entire life I depended on her. I am not ashamed of saying that.
"Contracts" are not gender based. Mutual agreement is not wrong, and gender should have nothing to do with it. If a women is the breadwinner, or a woman is the leader of a family, or even head of state, tell me, why would you have a problem with that?
There is a huge difference between "what I am" and "what I can do".
eg: being "invasive" is a choice; and what makes you take the decision to "act invasively" or to "act non aggressively" is your brain ! if you want to freeze it I will have to take you down from the "human being" rank.
Nobody said women are secondary to men.
What's wrong again about sitting with "the woman I want to marry" and write down together how we want to treat each other?
Then why are you quoting the Quran? It has plenty of verses telling women/girls how to behave, just like the bible, and back then women/girls were not considered equal, they were considered the property of the male head of the household.
