AND, the printing press.

This country was never meant to be a democracy. The Founding Fathers created a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy which always leads to anarchy. I find it telling just how many people believe we are supposed to have a democracy.

Just because we have democratically elected officials and some of those refer to America as a democracy, we are still a Constitutional Republic governed by laws. Unless you don’t believe in the Constitution or its significance.

Beer.

Breast enhancement and I dare anyone to argue with that.

Articles of Confederation (1777) were more of a Constitutional Republic, but that failed after 11 years.

We don't have a democracy. We have a representative republic. Enormous difference.

Interesting CCTX.

How would you consider the following scenarios.

Compare education before women “took over” and since. In the 90s the push to fill all administrative educational leadership roles switched from men to women. How has that worked for education in America?

Run the same numbers since women have “expanded” into the American political system.

How about women “expanding” out of the home and into the workforce. How has that benefited the American family experience?

Not saying you’re wrong, but it’s worth a look.

Also, how long have the Saudi’s, using your term, existed in that region? We all know officially since 1932, but we can go back, way back, even to the Ubaid period. Their “system” has staying power, that cannot be denied. What’s the “staying power” of America and its “empowerment” of women.

As a bonus, we could mention how God’s Word does establish the system of rule for men and women.

Again. Not arguing. But your post is one of few that lends itself to true and honest discussion.

Mail in votes and ballot harvesting.

OTFF, I could list all the inventions and scientific breakthroughs accomplished primarily by females.
I could list all the female CEOs of very successful corporations. But, those are free to google on your own.

We are obviously not cookie cutter copies. We all have different skill sets, experience, strengths, and weaknesses.

Some men have an aptitude to be good parents, some don’t.
Some (most) women have an aptitude to be good parents, some don’t.

The most advanced societies encourage open competition and survival of the fittest regardless of male, female, or shades of white/ brown/ black.

You exclude people from competing based on religion, race, or sex and you are weakening your potential.

Life on an Earth with limited resources is survival of the fittest.

Be hard to name a single most important invention. Wheel, fire, combustion engine, electricity, microchip are all vitally important to life as we know it.

The single most important concept or idea.......PROGRESS!

Well said.

In modern times I have to go with electricity.

In ancient times fire & wheel.
