Society is NOT built on Universal respect, freedom and equality, but 3000 years of patriarchal religion -  the 'Worship of God the father' - the 'Brotherhood of Man' and notions of 'God's Chosen People' - men.

The struggle against oppressive, exploitative domination of human societies by privileged elites continues today against the current phase of selfish, global capitalism and poverty.

Religion's patriarchal  role to maintain the  unjust and divisive tactics of often violent oppression of  women, who challenge female subservience and inequality.

The campaigns to counter this weapon of suppression  are  Socialism, Cooperativism, Feminism, Anti-Racism, Secularism and Peace Activism. - all campaigns against injustice and inequality, in which women take a lead.

Our  struggles are inextricably linked

Sexism  is one of the most pernicious and wasteful effects of male elitism and Feminism one of the most important campaigns.

 Where might we be had women not been systematically excluded from education, academia, the professions, science, administration and government based on rational evidence lea decision making? 

Not in this unbalanced macho world....
