The Scourge of the Concept of Male-Dominance

            Of all the things that many of us still seem to carry with us
            from these times, and there are a number of which that we
            will address here, one of the most very socially destructive
            is the  false concept of Male Dominance. How  ironic that
            this  fallacy  is  rooted  in  the  simple  fact  that  most  human
            females  simply  do  not  typically  develop  muscle  mass  as
            readily  and  extensively  as  the  Male  of  the  species?  And
            how  unfortunate  that  this  idea  to  this  day  permeates  so
            much of modern human culture, including highly regarded
            organized  religions  and  highly-populated  and  supposedly
            "civilized"  countries.  Yes,  some  progress  has  been  made,
            but we have so far to go.

            Of  course  it  is  understandable  that,  back  in  early  times,
            physical strength was extremely important for survival — it
            still can be now in some situations. There is nothing wrong
            with  a  strong  person  defending  a  weaker  person  -
            physically or otherwise. Unfortunately, years and years of
            men dominating women by brute strength alone manifested
            in world cultures and organized religions that accepted it as
            natural  fact.  And there are  many  —  men usually  — who
            will  argue  that  men  are  stronger  for  a  more  fundamental
            reason, and it is the intended and inherent job and right of
            men to dominate the inferior and weaker women.

            Nonsense!

            The  truth  is  that  the  concept  of  Male  Dominance  is
            completely negated if we simply take the time to stop and
            consider what truly makes a human being a human being.
            Just  a  small  amount  of  thought  and  all  evidence  in  the
            world tells you without a doubt that a human's importance
            in the world is a composite of the content of their character,
            their willingness to serve the truth, and the level of personal
