Razia was appointed the sultan because she was more able and qualified than all her brothers. Yet she was dethroned after 4 years because her rule went against the 'ideal social order' created by god. DO you think this gender distinction was justified?

Sagot :

Gender-equality will help make a society wealthier, improve freedom, strengthen families, improve democracy, promote peace, reduce violence and increase the odds of satisfying orgasms.

Settle down and I’ll tell you more about it.

Filling roles with the person who is best qualified rather than the person who is best qualified and the “right” gender means on the average getting better qualified people. Relative to a strictly gender-segregated society a gender-equal one has twice the talent-pool available for all jobs.

Gender-equality increases freedom since it gives individuals the freedom to do anything they want to do, rather than limit them arbitrarily to a subset of activities judged “appropriate” for their gender.

Gender-equality increases the resilience and flexibility of families. In a family with strict gender-roles odds are only the husband has a income, and only the wife has experience and expertise in handling household-chores. A gender-equal family in contrast frequently has 2 adults who both have a income and are both able to take competently care of the household. This makes them a lot better equipped to handle life’s curve-balls.

Gender-equality strengthens democracy. The entire point of Democracy is that the people hold the ultimate power in a society. It should be fairly obvious why excluding half of humanity from equal participation in running society by necessity weakens democracy, relative to letting all genders contribute equally.

Gender-equality promotes peace and reduces violence: “research has found robust support for a relationship between gender inequality and civil war. These results all point in the same direction; countries that display lower levels of gender equality are more likely to become involved in civil conflict, and violence is likely to be even more severe, than in countries where women have a higher status.” (note that this remains true even after compensating for GDP/capita)

Better gender-equality gives (heterosexual) women more, and better, orgasms.[1] This might not, strictly speaking, be hugely important to social organization (except perhaps by increasing women’s average happiness), but I wanted to mention it anyway, because really gender-equality is one of those things that are win-win-win all around for everyone.

The list of benefits of better gender-equality is much longer than this, I feel as if I could comfortably write an entire novel about the numerous benefits, large and small, of better gender-equality.

I could talk about improvements in the lives of homosexual people, about fathers who knows their children, about mothers with a career, about saving money, about being a teenager in a more gender-equal society, about civil rights, about reduction of crime, about lower child-poverty, about better mental health, about tolerance and acceptance, about a endless list of things.

But I think the above is enough.

I’d like to add though that most of the list above is true for ALL types of equality, not just gender-equality. We should not be so hung up on gender that we forget about or ignore other axes of discrimination such as race, religion, or disability
