To clarify: I'm saying it's our responsibility to change our behaviour. Inequality of any form is an imbalance of power, those who have been allocated or have taken greater power have I believe a moral imperative to re-balance the power as only they can return it without there being conflict.

For sure women can fight to take back their power, but it wouldn't be nicer for everyone if we (men) just gave it back?



I just don't think moral arguments are going to be persuasive. The fact is people like having power and they don't let go of it easily.


We British abolished slavery without a war, gave votes to people, then to common people then to women. Each one was indeed fought for by individuals but those in power chose to relinquish that power.

Please don't give up on us human's just yet. Sometimes we do good things, and occasionally great things!
