When it comes to gender equality…

Abdullah Çakıroğlu, who kicked Ayşegül Terzi on a public bus because she was wearing shorts, was released in the first hearing of the trial on Oct. 26. It is not possible not to protest against this decision. In fact, anybody with a conscience reacted and voiced their protests.

It is also meaningless to try to search for something that resembles Çakıroğlu, because such a comparison would be an insult to that thing.  

So much has been written about gender equality. The first form of inequality in human history has started with settled life and the advent of property. Then, the physical strength of men started to see women as something that could be owned, which constituted the start of gender inequality.

Because of this "domination" of men - moving from physical power to economic power, from economic power to social and political power - humanity has never been able to reach the natural equality between women and men.

Most of the time there is not even a linguistic mechanism to make a comparison. Rather, there is already absolute respect for all humans and all individuals, regardless of age. 

Because there is no inequality, there is also no "equality" issue. Thus...
