Pity the Frail Female, but hide the silver (Wellesley, MA USA) March 16, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars
Discriminatory effects (but not targets) result in the same goal - to
prevent the equity and equality of having to share the spoils of success,
whether military, economic, or social.
In fact, most social inequities are
reflected in the economic inequities of which we complain, and aim to
change but never quite manage to do so. In effect, considerable effort is
made to continue the discriminatory effects to prevent alternative
outcomes, and to preserve the status quo - often not intentionally
discriminatory, but in the mistaken fear that detrimental effects evolve
from greater fairness.
Managing fear is something society does poorly, and
as a result, needless wars are created and maintained in the interests of
protection from disasters that are just as improbable as the speculation
of success that arises from speculative success by any individual.
Allowing fear to rule the planet is never seen as its most detrimental
effect that precludes progress as well as prosperity.
Women might demand,
if they deem themselves to be first class citizens, to be judged by the
fact of their being female, and operate from biology, not expectation.
Men
have long made that claim, and despite the desire of women trying to impose
expectations upon them, succeed to escape those constraints.
Women should
be entitled to the same consideration.
