Chinese tried to control the sexes of their country by killing the baby girls because they felt girls were of less value to them. Obviously, science was not very high on their list of priorities.
Not until, the wifeless men started kidnapping neighboring town women because they couldn't find any women to marry, did it dawn on them that there was a problem. It only took 18 years.
Who's bright idea was it to eliminate women?
I can't imagine a man wanting less women around; even his penis would object.
The truth be told: I think history will show that most men are threatened by women, especially and most definitely, in leadership roles.
Could it be that the first woman in a man's life, his mother, who controlled him from birth, created that initial fear? Hey! Let's blame Mom, in a good way.
Unconditional love that will make any little boy give in to her love. The fear of succumbing; there is a history of men behaving badly; but not as badly as Eve, if you believe everything you read in the Bible.
But I digress...
In Rwanda, Africa, after the genocide took place, the people have added more women to their government; proving that equality of the sexes made the difference in their country's successes.
"This was a broken society after the genocide," said Aloisea Inyumba, Kagame's former gender and social affairs minister, who was also a prominent official in his ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front when it was still a rebel group fighting the country's genocidal government. "We made a decision that if Rwanda is going to survive, we have to have a change of heart as a society. Equality and reconciliation are the only options."
While many African legislatures have adopted quotas reserving seats for female lawmakers, none has done so as ambitiously as Rwanda. The country's overall attitude toward gender puts it at odds with its neighbors.
Just next door, an epidemic of sexual violence has ravaged eastern Congo, where law and order have almost completely broken down. In the run-up to Kenyan elections last year, several female candidates were beaten and threatened with sexual violence. One was murdered. Out of the legislature's 222 lawmakers, 21 are women."

Maybe that's why God created a man and a woman with separate libidos; if only, to balance the outcome of any given situation.
In opposition to the Rwanda's laws giving women equality; most Arab countries refuse to give equality to women; thereby victimizing them, to all kinds of physical and mental abuses.
An example of this lack of parity in the Arab world is this horrific video of a Libyan woman being sodomized by Libyan men bringing to light the fabrication of the Arab laws; said to protect Arab women. The cellphone video of this woman being raped are, typically, disposed of by the government or her family because the woman brings dishonor to herself and her family, if this rape is acknowledged.
Where is the justice? Where is there a change in the law if the crime is ignored and erased?
America doesn't give equality to women either because Americans, including some women, are too afraid of electing a woman as President. To say we haven't had the right woman. How would you know until after the election?
It should not have come as a surprise that we elected an unqualified half black man as President; instead of the qualified woman candidate.
People seem to forget that black men could vote, at least 50 years before all women could vote in America which tells you that the color is not the issue, it has always been the lack of parity between the sexes.
And just maybe, the American economy will turn around if more women were involved in solving the problem.
