As one looks at top class executives across all fields around the world one has to wonder are we asleep at the wheel. It is universally believed that there is only one God but various religions cloud perspectives by ridiculing each other to such a degree it is self defeating. A common theme though is the misguided belief of male superiority allowing restrictive influences to control women. Somewhere along the line the little word with the humungous meaning: G-O-D has been clouded over with the little word with the diminutive meaning; man!

A British newspaper today, 19thAug/2010, indicated it would be another fifty seven years before women would have equal pay status as their male counterparts? What about equal status on all levels or is that not even on the agenda or within range of telescopes? Ladies you shall have to fly away to the next hemisphere and found your own world if you desire recognition unless you make the unequivocal unanimous decision to work together for each other, especially for women without a voice!

It is a curious thing the battles that rage towards aliens but these pale in comparison if you happen to be both female and alien besides being described as just an alien female. I firmly believe that unless we fully embrace equality our civilisation is never going to advance towards where we need to be. This is because we are not in harmony with our universal law of growth encompassing balance, justice, harmony, mercy and love of each other and towards each other.

Travel and drop in to certain climes where it is acceptable to deform females through an ancient practice of circumcision which defiles their freedom towards enhanced natural sexual pleasure. Follow on to Chechnya and the horrible practice of bride stealing and truly believe that religious sects have lost their marbles.

It is tragic to look into the eyes of a young bride being betrothed to a man she had only met three times and none of these were in romantic settings. She had a prisoner type acceptance that it was her lot and thus had no rights in a world where her dreams did not count. Meanwhile her eyes glaze over and she is lost in a world apart from one she believed she would know and develop within.

Imagine a young woman from even as young as sixteen being kidnapped in broad daylight in the US or France or Canada and nothing being done about it and you would definitely be incorrect. The battle towards freedom is as old as humanity but unfortunately while we dwell within downcast primitiveness towards each other it shall never be won.

Chechnya has the sad history of two wars with Russia in its recent past but now is back in the fold of the big bear. Unfortunately though Chechnya has its own president in the guise of a young man of thirty four assuming the role of his late father but unfortunately is a fanatical follower of a religious sect; Islam.

The ravages of war are metaphorically and physically superimposed within the nation and as bombed sites come into view one has to look no further than the lives of people to witness the very same reflections of warn torn mindsets. As one lady said: ‘It is not our country anymore because we are not free to make our own choices. The feeling is almost as if the Stalin period has been revisited.’

Wonder how would men tolerate situations if the shoe was on the other foot? Wonder too how would Australia, Canada, USA or Europe tolerate such undignified and blatant attacks on human freedom within their own borders? Slavery is slavery no matter the pretext of intention leading to dominion of one over another thus needs to be rooted out from any and all societies irrespective of religion.
