The Value of Women

We place so much emphasis on "manhood" because, in spite of his slightly smaller numbers, he is the dominant gender in most species.  He is the inseminator in the procreative act, but plays no really integral role in bringing the result to the light of day.  In most cultures, he is valued far above the female and women willingly subject themselves to his rule.  I used to resent that, mostly because I had trouble with authority figures, generally, and did not relate well to men, specifically.  I didn't relate well to women either, but that was primarily because I thought they should know better.....that as women, they should have a clear and concise understanding of the unacceptable position in which men placed them.......somewhere behind the family donkey.  Women are the creatures upon which ALL societies are founded and maintained.  They should be elevated and honored in every culture.......not because they are worth more than men, but because they are equal to them.
