our world view

I often got surprised by the way we think about the world and each other. Or to that those who were here before us. If they looked out of the caves, and thought there was something mightier out there, much bigger than them. Do you think they thought about each other as men and women? Certainly there were physical things easier done by men, so it was done by them.

Now that I think about our present time I feel nearly shocked that we had to get this far to discover we're discriminating each other by, for instance, putting women into another category that results in them receiving less salary, and even less chance to be who they really are as a person.

I mean it's one thing that technical development has always been much ahead of social achievements. Of course, those who have the money to buy or get something built, saw and will always see machines as much better investment than people. Machines don't talk back, don't argue, don't die. They can be repaired, and with a certain technology they can repair themselves. And then, if I may ask, what's the point of us being here at all?

But then again, thinking about different sexes as different species, or even subordinate, dependent classes capable of less things than the other, is just as surreal as to believe you'll find a different God by calling to him in different names or languages. Culture should never be about that.
