You seem to be assuming that equality (of any kind) will ever take place on earth.

I’m sounding cruel.

In the movie “Coming to America”, an idyllic kingdom still had bathers who bathed the king and sometimes had to have sex with him. He probably favored a bather who got more perks than the other ones and she probably waved it in the other’s faces.

There is going to be a guy in North Korea who’s job it is to sort the rice by lengths for the great leader. One will become chief sorter and get better perks.

There’s going to be a guy who scrubs floors in the White House. There may be a best scrubber, but if there’s not, there was one who got promoted over the other scrubbers. Or played the game well enough to make that happen.

I’m not trying to be cruel. It’s just that there seems to be this wild idea that the Wild Kingdom is a myth. It is not.
