of years...male domination. How civilized are our civilizations/societies? We aren't evolving much at all. If I hear the term "man cave" one more time I will throw up. The entire planet is a man's world/cave and always has been. To think differently is delusional.

To hold property or have her own bank accounts. To learn to read and write.
To attend college and professional schools. To use family planning aids to prevent continual pregnancy.

I wonder what our planet would be like now, if women had equal rights and full partnership status with men for the past 2000 years.

A decrease in war.

Men have had control of the planet for the last 3000 yrs. Maybe they should take a time out and let
women take a crack at it.

Frat's still have young men in training ... don't shoot the messenger ... boys need to be trained against this (acceptable) form of behavior.
