Its remarkable, whats going on these days. It appears the tide is being turned against the all pervasive patriarchy and the forces of change is turning in the favor of the "weaker" sex. They don't seem so weak to me though. They do run the world, just like Beyonce said (...we run the world,... girls girls), and i have always had this position. However, today that power of femininity is being asserted more fiercely all over the globe. Its the time of the woman and this cannot be stopped, its nature's way of finding equilibrium.
