Women Are Natural Gobalists

Women have been subjugated since the dawn of civilization, as have blacks. I suspect that they have been subjected for somewhat related reasons, having to do with power and control dynamics of civilization. Women, however, span all tribal, ethnic, racial, class, cultural or national groups, making them a uniquely global species of subjugation. Women, therefore, are the quintessential globalists.

In keeping with the "ultimate," relatively recent understanding of the seamlessness of the planet--as through the visceral connection to the photographed image of Earth viewed from space, or through the physical mapping, photographing and monitoring of all the planet's territory from satellites--there is now an unprecedented need for a human global category that matches the new understanding of wholeness and indivisibility of the planet. I propose that this category, comprising the majority of earth's humans, is women.

In the spirit of making lemonades out of lemons, it seems that it is the subjugation and bias against women that renders them uniquely powerful as a sort of global species unified by universal civilizational oppression of their sex.
