Strange questions that humans have not yet found an answer for!
We all have a unique course of action through out our day. Many of the conversation along with our friends or some that we hear from others talking at times surprise us and gets our brain thinking, but only to later ignore saying this might be beyond human reach. Have you come across any such question through your brain or from others which you think humans have not yet explored or researched or any unanswerable question?

the modern "emancipation of women" is either a handful of decades, or at most a couple of centuries old, depending on the definition of emancipation you go with, and what land you live in. This may be the most fundamental social change in the history of human civilization, and as such it is sure to be accompanied by grief and strife, to be fought by reactionaries, and to be a slow painful process.
Literacy and education are fundamental to our society, and have been since the 17th century, yet I can think of places where they are both uncommon. Racial rights are seen as a given to some, but Apartied ended less than two decades ago in South Africa, and obviously there is still a racial tension in the USA, and many other western nations. These issues are old.
Development, or what we chose to define as progress, is a staggared process, both in time and in advancement. Generational transitions can be statistically quantified. The values you parents were raised with die of with them, but not until they die. Here in Canada, senior citizens will soon not only represent the larges voting catagory, but also the most politically active age group. Our national and world policies will reflect that. There are debates over the validity of legal abortion all of a sudden, and it is not difficult to track peoples responses by age group, if your sample size is both broad enough.
Simply put, yes things are evolving on the gender front, but slowly, in fits and starts. I am 40, and was raised by a single mother. Recently I have been engaged to my love, a single mother herself. The difference in the social stigma and resultant status between the 1970's and now is baldly apparent. These changes, like the Rennisance, the Enlightenment, the Reformation, etc... take generations to grow and spread.
I am not saying be satisfied with what is. By all means be active and change the world. Just don't expect it to happen in a day, or a decade.
