[QUOTE="Amerikaur, post: 13236, member: 1050"] Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh Is something universally good and moral simply because it happened througout history? I don't think so, which is why I drew the racial parallel. Equality means equality. It means not denegrating men, or fathers or fatherhood to promote the strengths or the contributions of women. It means not denegrating women, or mothers, or motherhood promote the strengths, or contributions, of men. I don't see the concerns in your e-mail as being that realistic in practice. Sikhs in the US are largely well-educated and in professional, technical, or corporate jobs - lines of work that are generally not specific to one sort of physique. I also do not think that men are in any danger of being forced out of the workplace. Look at the executives and board members of F500 companies, and one has to look long and hard to find a female member. Men have easily adapted to the white collar workplace. The key for our society to survive is to adapt to the needs of the times. In the US, we've seen many jobs and many types of work go to other countries. For the most part, we have survived by adapting and growing and being innovative. Will society accept a house husband? While such a concept may be the source of some jokes, in reality such a role is very possible. Not long back, Forbes (I think...) magazine did a report on a few high-powered female execs...whose husbands were full-time dads. In the 1940's, a lot of American men went to war. That put our country in a situation where there was an even higher demand for materials to be made, yet fewer men to work the factories. Our society adapted, as women a la Rosie the Riveter, flocked to the factories and took on heavy work. This did not denegrate men. With both men and women pursuing careers in the workplace, parenting a child is finally starting to be seen as more than just a woman's job, or a mother's job. Some employers are finally starting to understand that dads have a role in raising the child as well, and dads need to spend time with their children, and dads may have a need to be called away in the middle of the day. This does not denegrate men either. The upsurge of Islam in Europe is due to immigration policies, and not due millions of westerners converting to the faith. I frankly don't predict western men converting to Islam in record numbers. If anything, I predict more will fall away from religion altogether. As far as what kind of equality to "women want", I can't speak for the entire gender. As far as how I envision equality, I see it as neither gender being pigeonholed. That both women and men are valued for their successfully contributing to society in a way that works for them, while staying within moral bounds. Will we ever truly achieve it? I don't know. Will we ever achieve true racial parity throughout the world? I don't know. Will Sikhs as a whole ever get to the point where we live up to the perfect standards set by our Gurus? I don't know. But that does not mean the quest is not worthy. [/QUOTE]
