Feminism and other doctrinal -isms are so yesterday

Suppose the constitution of the Arabic alphabet had been too a discernible exercise. I reckon it's right to assume we would still be stuck at B. As the letter A in its element is quite distinct from the next letter in the alphabet; B.

This is the precise problem with most doctrinal forms of -ism Right from feminism to nationalism: Simply too much ado about nothing. Nothing but what at best is  useful just as far as matters of identification go

Ask me and I think Li Na deserves the attention not because she is Chinese or female but simply because she is good at what she does. But as Jay Z faults as we often do  in 'a star is born' when recognising the talents of Andre 3000 of the acclaimed hip hop group Outkast, Andre's genius is somewhat best brought into perspective when the comparative descriptive terms: “Andre 3000 the MALE version of Lauren Hill ” are employed.


And right there dear reader, in focusing on the obvious differences: girl child /boy child,  black/white, poor/rich – is where the flavor of the broth lies. Maybe it's because it's a world nee of science and thus the tendency to compare and contrast in an effort at arriving at reproducible conclusions. Maybe not. as science itself endlessly tries to explain all existence to be of common origin despite any observable and measurable differences.

Hope happens to be the answer when no straight answers are in sight. Hope that that the problems of the last century don't last on this 21st century. Hope that the 21st century will be an age where focus will shift from differences just for its sake. Ask me again and I will tell you education is important boy or girl; health is a right rich or poor; talent is talent  in spite of the genome responsible. Lets all live in the 21st century lest the term '21st century' means nothing more than an identification of  a certain time.
