The best of all worlds … and the future of humanity

This is both a serious article and a bit tongue-in-cheek. After all it is about the female right to vote. The discussion can go both ways. Since I am a male writing this article, expect both my prejudice, and subjugation to female beating about the head and shoulders, at least felicitously. Life may not by fair, but it does have serious purposes. All males and females know this. Let me go forward to the obvious.

Women run the world. Depending on the society and culture, how they do it varies. This is so historically biased, I challenged my political opponents to disagree using facts (I hope), or even fiction (I do not hope). If this premise is correct, then maybe this is how somehow we humans have both survived on the earth, and maybe even socially changed.

That history has kept women in “political chains”, denied the vote, put them on a pedestal, restricted their and their men’s behavior, all in the pursuit of advancing Families that are the tribe, is, well, normal for most of the world. If you buy this line, or premise, than you are thinking more eastern like. Just don’t ignore the obvious that somehow women run the world, even in this age old system.

OK, let’s go western. The historical pretenses have been superceded by western thoughts, and in the first 50 years of this change, it appears the women’s vote can “kill the goose that lays the golden egg” in the west. In America, it is especially disturbing to read polls about women voting as to how they feel, or how cute the candidate is. Barf. How about the old days of facts and National interest?


Jump to the next 100 years in the West, and I think somehow in the East. One half of humanity, women, will have more political power. And they will probably screw up humanity about the same. Maybe the old cultures of women running the world, indirectly of course, worked as well, or maybe better?
