what is a human being?
A man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance.
DARE TO KNOW
Man the world over believes that he follows the dictates of reason, no matter how unreasonably [to us] he may act..."
The knowledge of the existence of the tendency of the human mind to arrive at a conclusion first and to give reasons afterwards, will help us to open our eyes; so that we recognize that our philosophic views and our political convictions are to a great extent determined by our emotional inclinations, and that the reasons which we give are not the reasons by which we arrive at our conclusions, but the explanations which we give for our conclusions.
In fact, my whole outlook upon social life is determined by the question: how can we recognize the shackles that tradition has laid upon us? For when we recognize them, we are also able to break them" – Franz Uri Boas.
According to UN World at work, women continue to participate in labour markets on an unequal basis with men. In 2013, the male employment-to-population ratio stood at 72.2 per cent, while the ratio for females was 47.1 per cent

ALONE? The case in which women were intentionally left out of the Constitution dates back to the beginning of the republic. To think that in 2018, several states still continue to linger to address this human rights injustice in a so called "developed society," shows a pervassive medieval state of mind with a purpose behind it.
Therefore, It's absurd for women to deny they are femenists when female means we are of a femenine sex .Being one, does not make you a "men hater."
Before avoiding to face the reality of the absurd stigma of inequality due to your gender, dare to know how stratification took place and, read the statistic of abuses against women in the United States. Click on the link bellow
Naturally, if you are okay with being considered inferior, at least you have made a personal choice.
ABUSE
As women, is within your power to educate yourself and understand the issue of gender stratification. And, in case you don't know what it means: it's the scale by which women are considered unequal to men in power, resources, prestige and worth.
ASK THE QUESTION:
Do you see yourself as an inferior human being?

Piet Mondrian
One of the founders of the Dutch modern movement. He believed that art was a reflection of nature’s spirituality. His work consisted into the simplification of the subjects of his paintings to lines and rectangles, placed in vertical and horizontal position, in order to reveal the essence of energy and, its harmony between the forces that governed nature and the universe in a pure abstract format.
I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects."

Lately, we hear a lot that women’s equality is “gaining momentum” . . .
"Momentum?" Really?
Women equality is:
A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT
CULTURE
"In terms of evolutionary psychology, culture can be viewed as a product of adaptations that are functions of natural or sexual selection.
In the twentieth century, anthropology has used the word “culture” to label a range of human behavior that cannot be blamed on genetic inheritance.
Are we clear that culture is NOT genetic?
In American anthropology, the concept has two meanings:
- the human capacity to “act” imaginatively and creatively
- the peculiar ways people of different backgrounds classify, live, and create their experiences
But no matter how we might like to parse the word, culture boils down to societies that like to dictate how we should act.
My own definition of culture is:
- A torture chamber for personal satisfaction.
- A noun overly used to reward delusional expectations.
ANTHROPOLOGY
The only way to measure a true value of a men is methaphorically, because as a result of our culture, this value is based upon comparison of individual achievements.
It's worth reading the concepts of German born,American anthropologist Franz Boas(1858–1942).
Our culture has imposed a series of formulas with the goal of achieving certain mathematic precision to measure the value of a human being, something that can only be viewed as a hypothetical objective.
Such quest will never be solved due to the diversity of ideologicals, religious or cultural disparities.
SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR, philosopher
Throughout the centuries,the fight for women's human rights has been paved by a long list of brilliant warriors, who dared to defy its obstacles.
French philosopher, Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1989), was one of them. Her book "The Second Sex" (1949)has been a modern classic.
One of Simone de Beauvoir greatest quotes is:
"On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in her strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself — on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life and not of mortal danger."
