On one hand, the is a view to equality - something in my spiritual beliefs that is conceived as setting the captives free, redistributing resources at regular periods, and sharing everything in common. These are all aspects of life that I have experienced to some extent which is a fantastic experience, especially considering the cultural confines of western socio-political norms. That's my impression anyways. Society has moved a long ways in someways socially. Politically things were happening until many powerful people decided it is ethically wrong to support people rather than amass huge profits.
Society has a long way to go to empower women and for men to get past feeling threatened.
Hopefully, we will give each one of ourselves time to make this tremendous leap.
