Is it possible that it’s not a man/woman problem, but a human problem. Women might be just as bad? 

Answer

  

What about the future of our species?

Suggestion: A species cannot survive without both parts of its propagation strategy. The male. The female. But in the future, which of those two parts would more successfully become hermaphroditic?

​

As long there are sperm banks, women can have children without the need for a live male human getting involved. Men cannot do this without a live female human being involved. 

 

Perhaps Mother Nature finds inequality as abhorrent as most of us. Perhaps, if humanity can’t function as we are, we might be better off as hermaphroditic in a distant future.

 

And the female gender would be better placed in every way to evolve into that state.

Have you heard of the Magdalene laundries? So the catholic church used to lock up young girls if they became pregnant out of wedlock, even if they were raped. They were sent to a kind of work camp. 16 hour days, while pregnant! Then when they had their babies, the nuns used to sell them to wealthy people without the mother’s consent. And that only really finished in 1996. Do you find it beyond belief that such a thing has ever happened but that it happened so recently and under the watchful eye of the church?
