[zwnjvmyw] Women should be more powerful

In addition to the techniques that all humans have of achieving success, power, and wealth (e.g., hard work, intelligence, perseverance, etc.), women have particularly available the additional tool of sex appeal.  Success is often a result of people working together, so needing network connections, and sex appeal could serve as an introductory mechanism for forming those connections.

I assume the situation is not symmetric but could be wrong.

Speculate that society has evolved mechanisms for nullifying that advantage to keep women in their place, for example, shame in promiscuity

Same idea as before.

Why extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me, but they all seem to.  It doesn't matter what country they're in or what religion they claim.  They want to control women.   They want to control how we dress.  They want to control how we act.  They even want to control the decisions we make about our own health and bodies. Yes, it is hard to believe that even here at home, we have to stand up for women's rights and reject efforts to marginalize any one of us, because American needs to set an example for the entire world.
