A Brief History Of Famous Man And Women

Posted: 4/30/2016 Updated: 5/1/2016

Introduction

This is an attempt to strip the ideological garbage that has amassed over the ages surrounding the cultural differences between the genders or the so called war of the sexes.

Hot subjects of the day like transgender or bisexual etc. are not covered here.

A Brief History

For a long time, the history of famous men was much more prominent and well known than that of famous women. With the recognition of equal rights for women, the history of famous women was researched, more famous women were discovered or became better known, and their biographies and achievements were taught and disseminated.

We know for some time now that at any time in history, there were famous, active women.

Discrimination Against Women

History was rarely kind to people who do not fight or defend themselves when necessary. Women are no exception.

If women were discriminated against during most of history, so were men. Men had to be warriors not women and women expected their men to be warriors.

Intelligent, ambitious, and talented women were very often accepted and appreciated by men and other women and they had often opportunities to develop their potential in life.

Lessons Of History

Behind many men were women who truly supported them. Similarly, behind many famous women were men who truly supported them. Without their supporters, many famous men or women would probably be less famous.

Together is better for civilization and humanity!

Grand Stupidity: Kenya Burns $100 Millions Worth Of Ivory

Posted: 4/30/2016

Notes

Politicians terrible ineptitude to learn is amply manifest once more:
  1. The elephants and rhinos are dead. This burning will not make them alive again
  2. From the expected $100 millions of proceeds by selling the ivory many park rangers could be hired, conservation of animals could be promoted and so much more. For a poor country like Kenya, this is a lot of money to do better things than burning it
  3. The sales price of ivory would go down worldwide making poaching an even less lucrative business proposition
  4. On a more sinister note, perhaps these politicians deliberately burn the ivory to keep up the price of ivory and their kickbacks from illegal trade

Besides inept politicians, there are also scientists who support such nonsense. See e.g this article about Richard Leakey, the son of famous paleontologists Louis and Mary Leakey. Not only believes Mr. Leakey in the Global Warming hoax, he also things such a massive burning is great publicity.

Better Solutions

Stop the prohibition of ivory sales. Prohibitions like this have rarely ever worked in history.

I have previously blogged here about legalizing ivory farming and here about legalizing the sale of ivory.
