In reply to the discussion: "most men can't really imagine equality" [View all]Warpy
(111,429 posts)25. Men who only know how to be tyrants are getting what they deserve
in Kenya, as women who have had enough have taken their children and fled to Umoja and sister villages. The villages aren't paradise, they subsist on farming and herding and life is hard, but life was far harder with men who considered them his slaves. The women have done a good job at curbing FGM, for one thing, and the experiment in living without men who made it impossible to live with them has been going on for 32 years now.
Men who have a pathological fear of equality turning into subservience are finding themselves irrelevant, instead.

I get your point, but it is unimaginative at best to say that. I imagine many things I've never seen

I believe that it would be a better world if women had an equal share of wealth and power.
