March 8th is the international day dedicated to women. This day has the merit at least of existing so as to remember that women suffer men's domination from time immemorial. The struggle of women who fight for more equality is above all a struggle for freedom and dignity.

This fight is also guided by the willpower to express a different sensibility. An idea of ruling the world different from the one that has always been imposed by men. Women want to take part in public affairs in a world where they outnumber men but however are less represented than them. What could be more natural ?

Their wish is not, as some people pretend, to solve this problem of imbalance swapping the roles of the dominating and the dominated.

Let's not forget that it is male chauvinism which gave birth to feminism.

And feminism is an epiphenomenon, but male chauvinism is not!

Most of women just want to live in a more fair society, a society which aims at equity. Their ideal is that feminine and masculine qualities would be equally represented so as to make up for our mutual defaults.

We can also observe that the macrocosm of our societies is similar to the microcosm formed by every individual. Many men still believe that emphasizing their masculine qualities make them "real men". It's a mistake. Maturity, which makes us accomplished men or women, is in the balance between specific qualities of both genders.

And to reach maturity, we must first learn to acknowledge other's qualities knowing that we also possess them. Then, we have to make them grow.

And in this field, women are ahead of men. They are generally more mature, for to express themselves in our macho societies they necessarily have to develop their masculine qualities.

But the accomplished being, let's not forget it, is the one who reaches this subtle balance when man and woman live together in perfect harmony.

For complementarity between feminine and masculine qualities is the best way to overcome our defaults.

And it's the prerequisite to become one day a realized man or woman.
