Discrimination against women

While I prefer other zones of study, some inequities are so glaring that they require at least some effort.

On this issue, let’s be kind, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, and call it accidental discrimination against women.

President after president, politician after politician, utters the same phrase — God bless America — but never Goddess bless America. Psychological games are psychological games and mythologies are mythologies. Still, equal treatment should prevail.

Connotations are sometimes mentioned referring to the goddess, Isis (Mother Nature), but in association with fickleness. Yet I have known both males and females who are fickle, hence there we have another discrimination against women. Likewise, one could argue that it is traditional to place a higher priority on males, yet it was very traditional for a very long period that our sun encircles the Earth: falsehood. And so once again, one can realize that the central discrimination still exists.

I realize that the human brains are still carrying older parts and inequities can occur regarding tribalism and ritualism; still, a lengthy search is not required to discern that both males and females inhabit this planet.
