FOR PREVENTING THE ESCALATION AND LONG TERM PERPETUATION OF GENDER INEQUALITY


It is a melancholy object to those women who are unfortunate enough to be flourishing in this current day in the place we call earth. Women today are unfortunate enough to face dreadful conditions just because they do not inhabit the “correct” carcass of a male.  This hostel environment has caused female individuals to have to deal with hardships, such as having lower pay, not having equal job opportunities, and in the most abysmal cases abuse from a male.  This excruciating painful environment could lead to a complete revolution of  all women, starting an all out war of the sexes, if the women are to win this war men will turn into slaves of the corrupt government, which would be controlled by the women dominated government. Then there  would be nothing stopping from the mass extinction of men, in a gender genocide.  


I think is is agreed by all parties that the life - threatening occurrence of gender inequality is a universe wide problem that stems from men thinking that they are in complete and total power.  Gender inequality is a predicament that involves the whole world. This problem can be fixed my men being less ignorant, and for governments to step in and make laws providing women with all the same rights, and opportunities as men.  If anyone is able to get world leaders to come together and make such simple rules they would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, and be considered as the saviour of society.  


But my intention is far from being confined to provide only for the betterment of the world,  but to make society come together as a whole.  People need to start looking at each other as people and not as a gender, the world needs to have a better relationship, and to do this everyone needs to be the same. If everyone is the same there is no way to discriminate against a mass group of people.  With everyone equal and virtually unable to be discriminated against, the economy will be able to flourish with everyone being able to contribute in some way shape or form.


As to my own part, I have studied from proposals of other projectors, and concluded that they are, not nearly as efficient as they claim to be.   The general  answers of this unfortunate circumstance,  are basic laws making it illegal to deny women a job, housing, and even making sure women have the same pay as men. These regulations are not rigorous enough to combat the epidemic of gender inequality.   If this issue is not contained in the coming years we will be forced to decide what we need more, the man or the women, because  mass extinction of a gender is clearly prevident if the two cannot coexist  with each other.  I have set forth and idea that will eliminate all forms of gender inequality, while keeping everyone happy and verifying no one is considered a “minority.”


I will now present my own idea, which I hope will not be subject to any disagreement


I humbly offer it to public consideration that humankind as a cohesive and cooperative unit, should  all be recognized not as a gender, but as one unit know as “mankind.”  No more will we have social tags such as “virile” and “muliebrity” but known as an ensemble of “homosapians.” Furthermore everyone with a pulse will be required  to go to the closest courthouse and have their gender completely eliminated from their birth certificate.  This will cause everyone to be identified as the same thing, and there will be no worry about any gender inequality when everyone is just identified as a “human.”  When people adapt to the new identification society will blend and everyone will learn to be happy with each other, while not a single person has to suffer for not being a “male.”


In this scenario, when everyone is blended into one big society of “homosapians”  everyone will be forced to  coeincide with each other, and  they won't be able to label their fellow humans with a gender.  Everyone will soon have the same pay, will no longer face abuse, and in some extreme cases finally be considered citizens.   Many homosapians may be confused for a few years, and maybe even irate of the new change but with everyone equal the statistics of people being mistreated based on gender will collapse to literally nothing.


Of course people may be able to tell a gender difference based on how someone may dress, to counteract this everyone will also be required to wear the same blue T-shirt, and jeans when going out in public. This seems like an intense proposition, but it will indeed make society a less aggressive place to live for women, and the change will we be accepted by all women  (now considerd homosapians) everywhere.  This outfit will also be provided to every human being so money will not be an issue for anyone.


These drastic and sudden changes, will be problematic to establish due to the obstinacy of many people of today's society. There will always be  rebellious people in this day and age so there will be a group of people who will decide to refuse to dress as they should, or refuse to get their birth certificate updated. Although these people will exist, with the mass majority of people doing what should every person will be living in a happy place full of equality and optimism.   


I can think of no valid objection that may be introduced to antagonize this proposal, except for the certainty that almost all fashion business will most likely go out of business, do to everyone being forced to wear the shirt and jeans costume provided by the government.  This could be problematic, but with  almost 4 billion women now not being identified as a gender that can now be 100% equal no one will care about those business, and will be happy with one of the world's most colossal problem finally being situated.


Again, no one should dare to suggest these notions to me until they have a small spark of hope that these actions may be implemented.


It is not that I do not respect the input of others on the subject of solutions to this topic, but simply that I have spent 30 lifetimes researching this topic, and have detected that my solution is the only one due to the supernatural power people have avoiding the law, with the solution presented within the next 10 years every homosapien will have slowly converted to the new rules, and everyone will have the correct information on a birth certificate, and the correct kind of outfit to be worn outside.
