    From the cultural growth... The only real reason ancient Egypt fell, was because a MAN decided to convert the mythology into monotheism in order to control the nation... Women lost their seat of equality as a result in that culture.

    Men and women were considered equal, and their mythology consisted of only female goddesses. Women were in control of the mystic ceremonies, and both sexes goverened the land. They were a trading community, and did not bother with war. The arts flourished, sports were a common pasttime, and a near paradise existed... Until, a patriarchal, war-enthusiastic culture moved in; the Greeks, before they were known as Greeks; the Mycenaens. It assimilated the culture, and things began to slowly go downhill; until the island was abandoned...

    Little is really known about the true ways of the culture, as their scripts were written in a language we cannot decipher. They actually created the first working sewage management system... I'm not saying that either men or women should rule; I'm saying that it should be equal.

    You seem to place alot of faith in what you read and what might be just a matter of opinion of a few historians, the truth is usually far from it.

    One simple example- the sewers you are talking about - some historians say that Indus river valley civilization was the first to have sewers and bathrooms etc and some disagree, who is right? who is wrong?

    :D haha, I completely wholeheartedly agree , but this would mean that we as a society should break away the delusional walls we create around each sex.

    I'm a MtF tranny, I believe that biological sex does not define who someone is... GENDER is at least a part of it...

    In your case perhaps yes, but for the majority , no. I am not going to get into this whole discussion about gender and sex, but the fact remains that we do build walls between the genders, perhaps for our own good, but such walls should be broken down when it is required to do so.
