Democracy is a concept in which we all have equal rights as human beings when in any kind of a legal relationship. The  Ph.D. is equal to the illiterate before the law. The president is equal to any citizen before the law.  There it ends. We dote on the president in office. Fight over candidates running for the office. We oggle the beauty at a pagent, and ignor the ugly deformed beggar. We praise the precocious scientific mind, but rant at the lazy game playing kid on his video. Family members are not equal before or behind the law. The in-law is not equal to the out-law. Children are illegitimate or legitimate, yet equal before the law. A criminal has all the human rights that the law abiding citizen has, but can be incarcerated for life or condemned to death for a crime he may not have committed. Legally he commited the crime he is punished for, even if he did not do it. And legally he is innocent before the trial, even if he did.

In Israel, Arabs and other non-Jews are not equal to Jewish citizens, but Israel is the '...only demcoracy...' in the Middle East. For most of my life Blacks, Mexicans, Jews, and atheists were treated with contempt by white, Christian, Americans. In many western democracies, such as United Stated, Canada, Britain, and Scandinavian countries, non-Europeans are not trusted. Muslims are not trusted in predominately Christian populations, and Christians and Jews are not trusted in predominately Muslim populations.

Boys are preferred in Asian and Muslim families. Polygamy is more prevalent than polyandry, though a female prostitute has multiple sex partners in any time frame. More men than women are elected or appointed to public office. In mid 20th century, most physicians were men, but most nurses were women. Roman Catholics require priests to be men, though there both nuns and monks. A tall man with a short woman is more 'normal' than a tall woman with a short man.  There are no midgets on the football team.

 Well, in today's world, bosses no longer have as much option to hire based on a person's private follies.  Sometimes, if they want the most accomplished or desirable employee, one who has top rate skills, then they have to deal with outside personalities.  I think a great show that demonstrates this is CSI, where the girl with the alternative lifestyle and look happens to be the best forensic scientist and in demand, so they hire her even with the differences.  That's creative thinking and what spurs success in industry.

This idea that we have to prostitute ourselves for our employers is archaic.  If you are a competent employee with an abundance of offerings, then your private life should be inconsequential.  And for many employers, like mine, that happens to be the case.  People shouldn't subject themselves to any other type of employer on a long term basis.  If they are that superficial, use them and move on when you find an employer with a more stellar approach.  If everyone did this, employers would change their tune very quickly!  People have to believe in themselves!
