Why is there such a gap between men and women?
As we look at the world, we see a history of women being overpowered, domineered and abused by the men they live with - all to various degrees. Why? The NY Times ran an article on Friday about women who are compelled into a "cleansing ritual" after the death of their spouse. This includes having sex with some designated male in either the family or the tribe. Women are forced into this ritual against their wills. It is one source of the spread of AIDS in Africa today. Again, I must ask why?
