Revolution

Now I know this may seem like a fairly strange topic but this is what I was reading about in thte Gaurdian, basically women don't have a very high sucess chance of getting a high postion in a job. Due to being able to bear children, and thus maternity leave, which costs employers lots of money. As Sir Alan Sugar has announced that he wants to ask women at interviews, "Are you planning to get married and have children?" But laws forbid this, giving an easy option to buisnesses, don't employ women who could, well that means any female between the ages of 16 and 55, most of a woman's working life.

Well isn't that great news for women, that and the fact that women still have to work more to get more money, not in all jobs but in many. Now I know that may seem a bit strange seeing as there have been several ampaigns to get equality between women and men, but let's face it, chances of that happening are pretty slim. We'd need a revolution or a war, because they change society, but then you can't really forsee what happens after such events.

The reason for women being so low regarded, no point arguing; it's still like that, is because of the type of society we have (I'm not sure what it's called) but basically there are tribes somewhere in the world where the women live as a large group together and then only meet up with men at certain times in the year, for breeding (so to say), then if the child is male they will have to make their own way in the world, when they are no longer looked after by thier mothers. It works better than what we have, lots of men in big groups who argure and fight for who has the most. After all that was what it was like when we were still living in caves. Men went to hunt in on their own or in groups of no more than 3, and women stayed together, collected berries and managed to keep everything in order by communicating properly and making sure that everybody had a say.

Now can you imagine how the world woulld be if all the leaders were women.
