The Place of Women in Human Society

I am hardly the proper person to expound on this subject - having failed in all my relationships with women (beginning of course, with my mother). But this is also true for most men - and, for that matter - most women also.

I am listening to The Foundations of Western Civilization that says little about women, but I can easily imagine what their place in this must have been. Women are primarily responsible for reproduction - but also responsible for the pleasures that lead up to this. To put it bluntly, they are capable of multiple orgasms, that are pleasurable to them and also to the men with them.

Human sexuality existed long before we became civilized - and was part of the physical changes that included an upright posture, lack of body hair, sweat glands, frontal intercourse - and the large brain, that made language possible. And the use of Fire, that made it possible for us to cook our food - and greatly expanded the foods available to us. With all these advantages - we soon occupied everyplace in the world, except Antarctica.

But with the coming of Civilization, Women suffered. And we have to consider that as one of its serious disadvantages.

Very recently, with the coming of the Computer, and its Software - Women are attaining an equal status. But it is too soon to see how far this will go.
