   Inequality is not the same as unfairness.  For example, small children are not   
   the equals of adults.  There is no unfairness in that.  On the contrary, try   
   to imagine the disaster that would ensue if three-year-old children were   
   expected to earn their    
   own living.    
      
   True, we are all equal in many respects, particularly in regard to our   
   God-given rights (which are different from the contrived rights invented by   
   the social left).  But there are also, many inherent inequalities among   
   people, so many as to make it    
   obvious that we cannot reasonably hope for equal outcomes.     
      
   This is patently true of the sexes.  It always has been, and despite the   
   cruelest efforts of the left, it always will be.   
      
   There is nothing that can be done to make the sexes equal.  Indeed, attempts   
   to do so have actually made matters worse for both sexes, especially for women.   
      
   Let’s be clear.  This commentary is not a set-up for a sexist manifesto.    
   Far from it, it is a call for true fairness, fairness to both sexes, fairness   
   that provides for the greatest fulfillment of each individual life.   
      
   Again, it is necessary to depart from the myth that the sexes are equal.  Yes,   
   there is considerable overlap in our abilities, in our emotions, and in our   
   intellects.  There are also, however, many good and natural differences.     
      
   Most of these differences used to be recognized, both in the general culture,   
   and in law.  That the distinctions have considerably faded was largely brought   
   about by technology, which in turn was reflected in cultural norms, much of   
   which is for the good.   
        
      
   Unfortunately, the social left seized upon the changes to enact, into both law   
   and culture, the absurd ideology that sexual differences are at best   
   irrelevant, and at worst, an injustice to women.   
      
   Technology in the West has made life easier for most of us.  The daily chores   
   of farming and housekeeping used to require many hours and much physical   
   exertion, for both sexes.  The introduction of powered appliances, such as   
   washing machines for women,    
   and such as motorized tractors for men, enabled greater productivity.   
      
   While both sexes benefited from these inventions, the effect for women was   
   revolutionary.  With fewer and easier demands on their time and muscles, women   
   began to exercise more of their intellectual prowess.  Many women continued to   
   be held back by the    
   anachronistic mindset that women belonged only in the kitchen, but over the   
   years, this mindset gradually gave way to the increased harnessing of   
   women’s abilities in the fields of business, science and engineering, among   
   others.   
      
   But then, trouble began.  It seems that even in the intellectual realm, women   
   are not the equal of men, at least, not in every respect.  The sexes have   
   different areas of interest, and are thus, unequally attracted toward   
   particular careers.  Perhaps as    
   a holdover from many thousands of years, the male brain remains more oriented   
   toward physical endeavors, women more toward the emotional skills needed for   
   caretaking, especially of children.  While there is overlap, the result is   
   that men tend to    
   dominate in fields such as engineering, while women do so in nursing.  There   
   are important statistical variances, but by and large, the “sexual   
   stereotypes” prevail.   
      
   Unfortunately, this greater freedom of choice came to be misunderstood by   
   egalitarians, who gained a great deal of political power.  They asked, why do   
   not women comprise fifty percent of every occupation, and at every level on   
   the pay scale?  The answer,   
    according to them, had to be in the unfairness of the oppressor males.   
      
   There is not enough space here to detail all the ramifications, and we have   
   not even discussed career fields which require the degree of physical strength   
   that, with only rare exceptions, only men possess.  Most Americans are aware   
   how the public debate    
   went, and how it continues.   
      
   We are now at a crisis point, one in which radical leftist ideology is running   
   roughshod over commonsense, and trampling freedom.   
      
   The tiny proportion of people with various sexual identity disorders, is being   
   used as an excuse in the attempt to obliterate sexually defined roles entirely   
   from the social order.  This has reached criminal proportions, as very small   
   children are being    
   recruited by teachers into the ranks of sexual deviants (a term not   
   necessarily a pejorative).  Same-sex marriage has been codified into an   
   artificial legal right.  Abortion is being used in an attempt to eliminate the   
   final, and greatest, perceived    
   unfairness of all, the biological fact of motherhood.   
      
   To be sure, no ideology can override natural law, neither the laws governing   
   gravity, nor the ones governing essential human nature.  But in their attempt   
   to do so in the social realm, in their endeavors to contrive an unnatural form   
   of equality and    
   fairness, the social left is destroying society, and along with it, the lives   
   of men, women, and especially children.   
      
   The ideologues will inevitably lose, but not until the horrific damage they   
   are inflicting has reached the precipice of total destruction, and awakened   
   the sleeping giant.   
      
   Until then, we must resist.
