>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that false concept of fairness. And this creates a

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> between men and women, as well as toward a goal that is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> just as important: Creating relationships between men and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> women where both parties appreciate one another and treat
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> each other in a manner that merits their vows of love.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The global social injustice will be solved at least in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> part by large- scaleintercultural, interracial and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> international flux of people for love and marriage.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cultures where the concept of justice is an extreme of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> patriarchy - even people from cultures whose concepts of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> justice are not as extremely off- target but still

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> appreciate one another, treat each other better than they

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> positive influence and an improvement upon what they had

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> check-and-balance upon the tendency of societies - all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> societies - to go injust in one or another direction at
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the expense of one or another group
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There were many people for a long time who believed that

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Communism. In fact global capitalism did a much better and

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> international flux for purpose of marriage that has real
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> possibility of doing the same for social justice - while

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> have genuine appreciation for one another and treat each
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> other in commensurate way.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Global economy made it possible for international business
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to move across borders to find people who want to work and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> know how to work, and for people to move across the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> borders to find employers who constructively use and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> rightfully reward their endeavor. This resulted in over a

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> three decades and businesses having better and more
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> affordable products that benefited consumers and business

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in tremendous improvement in people's relationships, as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> well as improvement in gender fairness.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> But far more importantly, it creates a real-world
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> incentive for people in all societies to treat their
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> partners - men or women - in rightful manner, for knowing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that there are other people around the world who would
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> treat them well if they do not. And this breaks the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> stranglehold of local oppressors and thugs - both thugs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of muscle and thugs of morality - who want to keep one or
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> another group in their cultures in shackles so that they
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> can be guiltlessly and without consequence mistreated.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Protectionism - attempt by rich countries to create walls
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> against international products - has been described as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bullying and extortion. The consumer is being extorted,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and the working people around the world are being
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bullied, by the rich country attempting to protect
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> unearned priviledge of some of its workers at everybody
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> else's expense. The communities that want to deny their
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> citizens the right to make interracial, intercultural or
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> international matches, are likewise using extortion and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bullying to protect unearned privilege - such as the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> unearned privilege of Middle Eastern or rural Indian men
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to treat women like cattle, to throw vitriol in their
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> faces, and to execute them in case they do not obey their
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> every idiotic command. Like tariffs and quotas of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> protectionists are used to maintain economic imbalance,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> so the violence, moral thuggery, and oppressive laws, are
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> used to sustain social injustice. And just as in case of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> protectionism, where the greater the economic imbalance
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the higher the obstacles that are required to sustian it,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> so the greater the scale of violence, moral thuggery, and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> oppressive legislation, the greater the social injustice
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and the graver the system abuse. There are many people
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> who falsely claim that protectionism is more moral than
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> global economy. It is not; it is bullying and extortion
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> against one's citizens and against the world to protect
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> unearned privilege. The same is also true of efforts by
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any local entity at any level to keep people from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> marrying people external to itself. If a country or a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> community constructs walls against intercultural, inter-
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ethnic or international marriage, then it is performing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bullying and extortion against its own citizens and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> against the rest of the world, in order to keep its
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> citizens chained to partners who want the unearned
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> privilege of treating them like trash.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The greater the scale of economic imbalance, the greater
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the need for protective barriers. And the greater the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> scale of social imbalance, the more artificial barriers
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> are required to keep it in place. Thus, the greatest
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> amount of violence, threats, moral bludgeoning, character
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> assassination, psychological abuse and oppressive
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> legislation will be expected to be, and is, done by the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> communities that are the most gravely injust and abusive
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - and to the least extent by the communities that are the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> least abusive and least injust. It takes more barriers to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> keep people from leaving a raw deal than it does to keep
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> them from leaving a fair deal. From this follows that the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> greater the obstacles placed by the culture to women or
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> men finding partners elsewhere, the greater the systemic
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> injustice that they embody. The more abuse, violence,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> legal oppression and moral bludgeoning is directed
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> against one or another group, the greater the injustice
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that is perpetuated against them. The greater the actual
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> need for intercultural, interracial or international flux
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in order to rectify the imbalance.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The people are bullied into lives they would never have
