Excuse me? The Aztecs and their human sacrifice sucked. Native Americans have a right to be treated as human beings but there is no need to respect their false and unscientific beliefs.

And the woman in saudi arabia that is punished for leaving the house without her husbands permission, that's cool right?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Exactly. Let's rage against Islam for its treatment of women, but machismo in Latin America .. they get a pass because they have a culture and pointing out things I don't like about it is hurtful.

Yes that's why we need to embrace political correctness and avoid meaning conversation that could offend people.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

I like females.
Does that count?

I can even go further.
I think some of them deserve this world and the next.
I think a few of them deserve my admiration.
I think a lot of them deserve my sympathy.
I think a few of them deserve a kick in the butt.
I think some of them should have never been born.

And you've never seen women wrap men around their fingers and take control of a governing body before? Different strengths, many applications. Leadership-ability not significantly differing between genders and/or sexes. How leadership positions are taken and/or maintained, however, is quite different.

Women can be just as frighteningly and horrifically abusive as men, and can hurt you in ways that 'brutishness' could never even touch. The important thing for leaders, however, is in their head. Which is why it is only in the MOST PRIMITIVE of societies that we see 'the leader' being 'the strongest'.

Because immediately after that point, you have politics. (pst: you wouldn't believe the damage a pretty face can cause)
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
