_________ Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter. This slogan has been seen by the whole world. A serious problem that the US cannot solve. For a long time.

But even the strongest and richest country in the world, on which everyone is trying to line up, can not cope with such a difficult problem for many years. But you are great, USA. People change with great difficulty. Slowly. Sometimes desperately slowly. But you can handle it. I believe!

Unfortunately, I do not understand all the intricacies of what is happening in our neighbor, the United States, because I have never been there. But I am sure that such things are not uncommon in the world.

But I understand, or rather, I hope I began to understand something else. What they feel in all corners of the modern world.

In 2020, women and men still don’t have equal rights.

Perhaps this topic is hackneyed. Perhaps you will say that in many places women already has as many rights as men.

But will we say the attitude of all mankind to this problem?

Where to look to see the opinion of most people, not only a single country, but the entire planet.

Olympic Games. Honest and equal…

The Olympics is an example of the most obvious gender segregation that the whole world simply does not notice and ignores.

Many competitions have a gender division. By the way, try to recall other areas of our lives where the same strict rules exist.

It is worth noting that the Olympic Committee is doing the right thing. They are trying to balance the composition of teams in different countries. They are also trying to appoint women to leadership positions. This opens up new opportunities for more women and girls around the world. And this is very good.

But this is all a drop in the bucket compared to a really big problem. Women are unallowed to compete with men in most disciplines. Yes, yes, I specifically chose this wording. The whole world is accustomed to consider a woman weaker, less hardy, less intelligent, less persistent. Women have lower rates than men.

I think this is a big-big mistake. We should pay attention to this.

I believe that if women perform together with men, they will be able to perform on an equal footing. I believe that there will be at least one woman who will be faster than all men in the world, and indeed all people.

Now only a man can get such a title. The best thing. Women do not have this privilege. And we still perceive it as an unbreakable foundation.

Does humanity still need this?

If you are a dreamer like me, then imagine that all people can now compete on the same terms.

If you are a dreamer like me, you can imagine how interesting it will be to watch as athletes gradually beat more and more records set by men. They will be the best among all. Already for real.

Of course, this does not mean that men must somehow violate or compete not at full strength. The best motivation for everyone is a truly honest and equal game.

In team sports, things are even worse. There are many popular sports, such as football, in which teams consisting of only men compete. Of course, there are women’s tournaments, but much fewer people show interest in them. The only reason for this is that they are women. And the athletes understand this, they feel it.

The pandemic brought us much grief, but it also gave us a chance. A chance to think and do something.

There will be many events next year, and one of the main events is the Tokyo Olympics. And you know what? This will happen in an odd year. For the first time in history. It’s hard to come up with a better chance than this. Let’s at least try.

I believe this is the right way.

What about you?
