Some of my observations go back to my childhood days when I first saw a clock which had a swinging pendulum. It is called “A Grandfather’s Clock.

I have ever since likened most if not all things in life to the swinging pendulum. If one stands in the way of the swinging pendulum, one will be crushed or knocked over. As people on earth we have no control over the way it swings, but we must cling to it and take the ride. Some of us are successful in making small changes in humanity but we do not change the direction in which the whole world changes. The time span of change is too great and our contribution is so minute that we just make a small mark on the direction. Some positive, some negative.

To get to the point, for a long time the pendulum had swung in the direction of MEN. Men dominated Politics, the Military, the work place, the home. Some men have been even more extreme and have assumed a position of “CONTROL”.

Now, every thing is swinging in the other direction and WOMEN are working, becoming self supporting, buying their own cars and doing what ever comes with independence.

Clearly, most things are going in the direction of the woman. But will there ever be equality ?

The problem is that in human behavior generally, we become authoritative when we achieve power. We very seldom find that balance which is the corner stone of equality. We begin to feel that what happened when the pendulum was swinging on the other side, should be the exact pattern on this side.

That is true for the mechanical pendulum.

But can that rule be true for Humans in very complex societies ? People are not machines. Women can never be the same as men, and men can never be the same as women.

A woman on her Television Program years ago to an audience of women said these words, “Men ! What do we want them for if only but to make Babies”

This extreme expression is written in history where women called Amazons had excluded men and done very extreme things to accomplish it. There was no equality.

Amazon feminism

“Amazonia”  may be a myth, and not related to a place in South America, emphasizes female physical prowess as a means to achieve the goal of gender equality. The image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as expressed in the physiques and behaviors of female athletes, martial artists and other powerfully built women in society, art and literature is outstanding.

We have been led to believe that there was a “Land of Amazonia”, where in that land were women, and no men; because the women should not suffer under men as their rulers and superiors..

Could we be going to that extreme, especially when science is so advanced that a man and a woman do not have to be together to continue to populate this earth. As we all know, women now go to BANKS, pickup a phial and have a child without even being near a man.

Sex scandals, money scams, and corruption come with “POWER”. Whether it is in the military, the government, the work place, in high places, in low places, in churches and religions, whether power is in the hands of men or women, POWER WILL BE ABUSED.

Equality is when the pendulum of life is at the bottom of the swing. Unfortunately, that only lasts for a brief moment in time. Time which we may never experience

Now in these modern times, power in the workplace and in the home is being transferred to women. What makes us feel that women in power will not abuse it as some men have done in the past ? Furthermore, as the PENDULUM swings the other way they may even over abuse their power as men did in the days long ago.
