It is not by accident that they are called the 'opposite' sex - The two opposite energies reflect our duality.
It is amazing that it is so easy to brainwash people to believe anything, even if it is illogical. |

I see the two genders as opposite polarities - This is a 'normal' spiritual understanding. Even though the differences are great, they are of a subtle nature - This means that, in effect, it would be almost impossible to scientifically evaluate these differences - This is similar to spiritual ideas, in that scientific evaluation is not a good tool to use to convince skeptics, or those who have not yet reached an understanding.
For centuries. in every country in the world, these differences were celebrated, and the way men and women were treated in society evolved naturally over many centuries. This was a very slow process.
Because of the great influence of the media nowadays, unlike 'slower' times in the past, changes have been rapid.
The main difference was that, in the past, the slow changes were not made to happen by the decision of a few politicians, but happened in a more 'flowing' process, like a river, happening naturally. Each change stood the test of time. But in the last generation or two, a few politicians, blinded by their own dogma, and ignoring nature, decided that what had taken centuries to evolve was wrong, and that it must change. This is done largely by emotive manipulation.
As a relatively older person, I remember a time before this 'Political correctness'.
I remember when everyone thought it was stupid, except for a very small number of extreme politicians. What amazes me is that, the feelings of the whole country - mainly younger people - are radically different from previous generations.
I've seen the manipulations of the masses at first hand, not only in this case, but in numerous examples - It seems to be tremendously easy to brainwash the masses.
If you've ever read 'Animal Farm, that illustrates exactly what happens -People forget.
The bottom line is, in every country, from the earliest times, the differences between man and woman, were celebrated, but it is only in the last generation, and only in the west, that a few people decided to change all this - and because of the power of the media, they were able to do this.
I see the politicians as being so tied up in their political dogma, that they ignored, or weren't in touch with their true natural instincts.
