EDIT: Odin's last link covers a lot of what I'm getting at.

Well yeah.  Wouldn't you think that on a HISTORY discussion site, that consideration of the path we humans have taken over the centuries would count for something?

My mother was not eligible to vote in this country at one time.  That hasn't been THAT long ago!  My grandmothers spent most of their lives ineligible to vote..  In the 1950's when I was a kid, women, especially married women were still essentially chattels.  I remember how it was, what happened and how it is now.

When one group has had it their way for millenia, and things change, and it's no longer rational to have it that way, as men have had it, doesn't it make sense to dial it back a bit, and give some empathy to those moving up the ranks?
