Democracy, Religion and Secularism all talks a great line of freedom and equality for all. Our Western democracies and Religions preach this wonderful line; while at the same time forcing our women to walk behind our men and denying women true equality. True democracy and religions are then a sham. We have no working model, political or religious with true equality. We all contribute to this hypocrisy.
Does not follow.
On Affirmative action. I'm conflicted on it. On one hand any form of discrimination, especially state sanctioned, annoys me. On the other, do the people benefiting from it not encounter negative discrimination? Did their ancestors (which would affect their current situation)?
Does the affirmative action not just counterbalance the discrimination?
