RE: The Art of Critical Thinking part 1
Interesting point.
Ignorance is bliss.
Once you understand and see things others cannot, you are "cast out"- both by your own doing as its difficult to find likeminds to converse with or you lack the patience for those who have not awakened, and you are ostracised by others.
In many ancient cultures, women were equal or even worshipped. As the ultimate creators of life- yes the men play half the part during conception, but after that his part is to provide so that she may take the lead role in the nurturing, health and rearing of the children-their importance was honored and respected.
Somehow, somewhere, some guy decided woman was dangerous. Woman had too much power. And he bad to knock her down a couple notches.
Where would society be had this never happened? How would the world look right now?
Perhaps the opposite from what is happening now and maybe men would be the oppressed gender and women would have become overzealous and have been too overbearing with their power.
Or maybe, women would be revered, men would be revered, as both would understand the divine within each and we would have a much better connection to nature.
I'd opt for the second options :)
