RE: The Gender Inequality Issue In Indonesia! 2 Fingered Virginity Tests To Join The Military!

in #news7 years ago

It's depressing to think about how backward so many societies still are around the globe.

We still have this nonsense, open slavery, sex trafficking, and many other abuses. Why? It makes me have very little faith in the human species.

India still has caste systems, and almost all religions including Christianity, teach inequality. What happened to our warrior culture where women were considered equal?

They fought and died alongside men even though they were not physically equal--no two men are physically equal either. Also, you don't have to be physically big to be a good warrior or leader.

Yes @finnian, very amazing points!

Of course we are equal!

Indonesia's cast system is very similar, many aspects of Indonesia's belief system are based from those in India

One thing we can all get from this discussion is that no two humans are equal, the idea to completely segregate the population in half and say that one half is better is ridiculous!

Thank you for your comment :)

Nope, none of us are equal in DNA, abilities, etc. We should all be equal under the law however, and we all have the same natural rights.

That's what I meant, sorry I didn't make it clear @finnian.

Oh, I knew what you meant and was just adding to the convo. :)

Good one, hope to have more convo soon @finnian :)
