Sciencism

Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong!

The mind and consciousness is an interesting thing. It has evolved out of unconsciousness. Sentient beings evolved out of machines. By machines, I mean the animals that lack consciousness; those that go about their daily tasks on instinct alone.

We sentient beings too have unconscious drives and instincts, but they are more or less subservient to the mind. That's why we have such things as hunger-strikes, suicide, etc. And feminism. In these things, our instincts drive us in one direction, but our minds and society (which is a conglomeration of many minds) try to suppress this natural instinct and tries to drive us in another. But we should remember that these instincts that evolved over billions of years cannot be taken lightly.

Women may say, "Why should I get married early and have kids early? I want the freedom to be ambitious and have a career of my own. After I have financial security, I will have children."

But we are now seeing a couple of interesting things:

• It is only now coming to light, that women's bodies are most suitable to have children when they're in their late teens and early twenties. After that everything goes downhill with an accelerating pace.
• After women have established a career, they choose to take time out to have children. Employers aren't very fond of this.
• After a woman gives birth to a child, they face pressure to return to the workforce. They must juggle family life and work. Either the family, or work, or both suffer. The idea that a woman can have everything, do everything, is a myth, as women later realize.
