Educating, and eventually, empowering women helps on all fronts.
Interesting claim.
Not that I say that we should blatantly discriminate against women, but would you argue that the discrimination against women in our culture and history in any way seems to have inhibited the development of our civilization?
Women's liberation is a rather recent thing and I say we have still done quite well.
- xlnt 18y agoIf you look at the history of philosophy or science you don't find a lot of women. But there could have been. It's a shame. The more scientists and philosophers (and many other things) the faster we make progress.
