WORLD'S PROGRESS IN THE EQUALITY OF MEN AND WOMEN

There are three major regions of the World when it comes to the quantitative as well as qualitative analyses as to the progress in treating women as equal to men.

The First, Second, and the Third world. The Western part of the planet is of course where the first and second qualify which is about 20 percent of the total humanity while the third is comprised of the 80 percent and living under poverty.

When we look at the progress, I am more inclined towards the first and second as of course, the very source of this perception and application is championed by freedom and independence specially in the field of socio economic and political arena.

Today, while I agree that there are so many obstacles and challenges that continuously impair and obstruct such a growth, we have without a doubt,. have progressed to a considerable height that is even beyond my expectations.

I believe, I would credit this achievement towards the very conduct and liberal minded mentality of so many men and continue to support this legacy which is a mirror of the world's commitment to a genuine struggle and effort towards humanity and equality.

This blog is not about who is BETTER BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN. It is about acknowledging our commendable effort to continue our road to the champions of equality and as such embrace it for better understanding of the world and our road to progress.

How do you feel about it?

Thank you so much for all your contribution, comments and opinions.l

Well, all I know is that human cognition is always evolving,
As we evolve from wilder bodies obviously or minds evolve from darker thoughts. If you look at the animal kingdom You will see Male and female of a species with very different rolls. This is not to say that in the game of survival they are unequal, only that they need do them to ensure the most economical way to ensure a future.
If we take this premiss and apply it to humanity we see that our super skills of evolved environmental manipulation have taken us to a point where we believe these gender roles no longer necessary. We have stepped out some ways from natures care and are winging new territory. Like anything new it must be invented as it goes along.
As far as equality terms for all humanity, When we look to the past we can see the shores of our ancestry. And when we look to the future we can see only the horizon.

We have come a long way don't you think. ?
That is all I know LJ. wine
Non my friend yes of course we have done quite a step from humanity's journey of ignorance to awareness to acceptance and believe it or not to an astronomical m manifest of the world as it progresses celestially to this unprecedented journey

There has been much progress in regards to equality of women...looking back in history, women were regarded as sub-human...chattle...we are people now...we can vote...have credit for purchasing power and for the most part we earn a wage that allows us to be self sufficient...the wage earned or the jobs that are traditionally held by women may lag behind men but it is getting better out here...
I think the idea of women not needing men scared the pants off some men...perhaps that is why there is so much resistance for equality in the past?...just a thought!!! Fortunately, there are enough liberal minded men who see value in women and their work...and who helped forge a better society...we all need eachother...wine
Nice Lukeon, cheers
Very well put. handshake
LouLou,
"we all need each other" I agree 100% wine

Hi Ate! Nice thought provoking blog...

I think it's quiet easy for you and other members here to talk about equality since you've been experiencing and living it.

I'm here in a place where 'equality' is such an alien word and we consider this place as a 'men's world' where educated women who are more than capable of providing and surviving on her own are suppressed and kept at home. With some exceptions, they generally just exist to bear children and to satisfy their husbands. So sad but life is never fair...angel
is that 20% that lindsy isn't talking about , all those religions who force women to cover up their entire bodies with a tent or abayas ....wave
there was a small pice about womens rights in afghanistan ...that they are worried that if the armed forces leave , then what rights women do have will vanish and many men will cut off their wifes heads with an axe , for not doing as they say ...wave
virgo
Those tents that those women wear is not a bad thing...the Taliban were the ones that made women wear garments that made it impossible to carry on daily life...used the Koran for its own purposes...women do not object to the head scarfs or covering their bodies...
Lou I'm grateful as to how much we, the women of this civilized society of the west has enjoined our hands as equal upon the recognition and acceptance of such an astronomical impact.

The application and practice of pur assere contributing to the structure of a progressive society is possible due to the merits endowed to us by no less than our civic and equal printed male counterparts who regarded unequal to promote a true manifest of progressive world.
Lou should have been equal oriented partners
I think that if women want the respect they feel they are not getting .....then its the women who need to change how they bring up their son's at home , so their kids will have more respect , and schools should have a higher ratio of girls in each class ...start at the beginning ...if you don't do your job well , you let the world down ....banana
Luke thanks so much. I'll get back with your countenance and admirable support. My appreciation is beyond my ability to express gratitude because of people like you that provide the pillars of an indomitable and unbreakable pact.
lind
It takes all of us to change the inequities that still exist...I guess we as westerners take much for granted...considering other parts of the world where women are less thought of...
there's more women than men in america , but as yet you are not united together as one people or there would be a women president and a women as the head of the military ....and every other top job would have a women at the controls ...

we men know " you can do it " banana

I have to go back with you Non as you raised a very fundamental aspect of the root of this progress. While I will never disagree that there are indeed roles inherently assigned to us since the inception or our creation, i.e. bearing babies, to that of the women and the strength of protection to that of the men, it is very inevitable that without discrediting this innate core of our nature, we have set it aside and moved on to the areas of equal ability and that is the nature of intellectual, compassion, instincts, kindness and generosity.

Much like the same way as to the deliberate effort of each gender to excel in such a general and or specific fields.

These is a signature of the same level of acceptance a society is inclined to achieved..A progress beyond measure.

Thanks again my friend Non.

And insight that brings us to the very core of natural structure of creation.
Virgo your humor is cutting so deep on my skin.

Thanks anyways..
..the wage earned or the jobs that are traditionally held by women may lag behind men but it is getting better out here...

Yes indeed, if we are truly looking at the ratio as to the number of employed women against that of the men, you'd be surprise to find out that the median is slowly narrowed down to a very slim and acceptable level.

I have not look at the latest but even as America holds the disparity of income inequality, it is because men still holds more jobs than women in the real sense, but in the fields where women were never seen before we are progressing very rapidly. Car business for instance where it was so dominated by men, most manufacturers specially the big 3 has hired more women in the last 15 years than ever before.
I think the idea of women not needing men scared the pants off some men...perhaps that is why there is so much resistance for equality in the past?...just a thought!!! Fortunately, there are enough liberal minded men who see value in women and their work...and who helped forge a better society...we all need each other.

I have no doubt about it. This is the most isolated reasons I can think of even before there was such a move towards this cause.

That is slowly but surely taking into an effective reinforcement towards its elimination..I believe.

Yes ading. It is said and I do feel your just cause of claiming that life isn't fair. I can only hope that the world as a whole will recognize such a formidable step towards this direction. It only fosters success and triumph on the move towards a true practice of equality..

Like Luke mentioned, it is a united effort of not me nor you but the whole humanity, from every child to adult and we must do it with fervor and unity.
lind
Many women are not being promoted at work or rewarded with bonuses/raises because they are mainly responsible for their children...work does not come first...but I see this trend dying down...men are assuming a role in parenting as a care giver...the shift is happening...as for wage inequity...jobs held down traditionally for women are seeing improvements but I still believe that when it comes to money...that will likely be the last thing to change...who evaluates the worth of these jobs and why is women's work most often always worth less?...
Are you interested more, in EQUALITY OF THE TWO GENDERS OR WORLD PROGRESS?...
I WILL PREFER THE FORMER!....I am responding to the heading without reading the contents.....
iota
Isn't equality for all progress?...
Iotaoo my friend you are in a very dangerous line, considering that the concept doesn't ever do justice to the actual substance of the message.

And for your specific question doesn't bear and or carry any relevance to my blog at all as you are now totally butchering it by separation. It is like a divorce without even being married.

So can you read the whole thing?
@loulou
Inequality is equal to denial of life!
Not necessarily Iotaoo..

You admit or not?.....But it is the vulnerable realism....

Our friend iota is getting off topic...say what you mean iota...your words are cryptic...roll eyes
Yes I notice the tendency of getting off the direction but perhaps he has a hidden motives on such a question.

Both are very legitimate questions but the bearing for both is entirely sectioned which wasn't my intention.

Progression in terms of the acceptance on the equality do bear a very big road to equality and vice versa.
@both
Yes...off the topic and off the context..I admit....I was involved in my country's political affairs...I am sorry....I beg your apology...
iota
Take a break from your politics...it can get rather frustrating...I don't know what's going on over there...bouquet
@loulou
Baby How could I? The fate of my country and for that issue.....fate of the "we, the first class citizens 'ruled not governed' by the 3rd. rated politicians." is to be sealed on 12th instant.
iota
Who are you voting for? if you don't want to tell me I understand...and what is your concern?...reading up on it now...three choices...
bottom line is there is no equality, nor will there be, sorta like the sun will always come up everyday and will set everyday, that's life, and it shall be during my life time here I think sad flower
Politics can truly eat you up if you are pinned against your principles at the rising of tge opposition, KC

But then there's always tge alternative of either get defeated and accept the consequences or continue the fight to a higher level
