Interesting post, nowadays money rules the world regardless of gender. Gender roles have been reversed in the case where older rich women take over younger poor guys who remain at their beck and call. I don't know why men had more power when women where the true generators/nurtures of new life. Their wombs are portals where new souls receive a physical presence to come on to earth.
Anyway, it's a material world and am glad women are being empowered in many countries around the world but that patriarchal power remains strong. Women are still paid less than men and equality is yet to be achieved overall. Men still remain physically stronger but women live longer.
Thank you for sharing an eye opening topic to ponder on, enjoy the new week ahead and stay blessed :}
