Monthly TOEFL Essay #2: Minority rules (unabridged version)

IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY,
THE GENDER MINORITY GROUPS

WILL RISE TO BE THE MAJORITY GROUPS

This century will bring a particular sort of social change: one where the world turns over placing minority groups of long history at the top of society. Who are these minority? Two groups have evidently begun the march up to this metamorphosis. One is half of the whole population treated not even human for so long; the other is a much smaller group whose gender identity differs from their biological sex. They are going to rule the world. 

Ladies first. Women's rights are improving: that has been the trend for the last several decades. Changes have been consistently elevating the status of women even since the 21st century began. Ever heard of the term 'alpha girl'? It was sort of a fad a few years ago in the beginning of this century. It indicated a girl or a woman who excelled in activities beyond any man. It indicated a girl or a woman was generally expected to be inferior to males, but there were a few exceptions so exceptional they deserve a whole nice cute phrase to themselves. That's what people thought at the time.  

That phrase quietly crept into the shadows. There are no 'alpha girl's. Every girl is exceptional, and no girl is expected to be naturally inferior to men. Now, people acknowledge that females should no longer be considered any different than men, though action doesn't always follow. People don't believe in 'alpha girl's anymore: they believe in 'alpha people'. Or at least they know they should. That's how we are now equal. There were fights, there was media, there were individual alpha girls, there were stupid men, and there were brave women. There was 'equal'.  

But will it stop there? Men used to be the ruling species; they weren't equal, they were over women. They were at the top of societies, and they controlled. They were the only gender that ruled. The only. So won't women become the only ones to rule as well? They say the qualities required for this century are those of the feminine sort; empathy, sensitivity, carrying out tasks in a detailed manner, knowing how to be subtle. Of course, not all women possess these qualities and not all men don't, but generally speaking, this is what society thinks women have. This is what higher jobs of the new era require, them being more about investment, management, and social relationships. At least, that's what people have started thinking. Among 64,000 people surveyed in thirteen nations, two thirds feel the world would be a better place if men thought more like women. Women are wanted. They will be placed on the top, soon. Or else, they'll make they're own way there. 

Then we have homosexuals. As was just mentioned, feminine qualities are desired in society today. Now, there are gay men who have these feminine qualities. These are the rulers coming after women in the 21C social hierarchy. There is more to this story. Besides women-like traits, there is another thing the society currently needs. Less people. The Earth is overflowing with people. It's gross. People are using up everything. However, it seems like people aren't going to change their style of living for at least quite some time. 

So what can be changed? The number of the pests on the planet. Evolution will happen. There are too many people. Too many people breed. There need to be less people who breed. Homosexuals don't really breed. Or they can perfectly control it. They are what Earth wants more of instead of these destructive heterosexuals. More and more people will gain the mutation. Eventually, the human kind will evolve towards being homosexuals.  

Now you whine, "But our species can't survive if we don't breed!" No, we can survive fine. Why is it homosexuals and not infertile people? Humans have rather amazingly developed technology to the point where no actual breeding is required to give birth to offspring. So if we are mostly homosexuals, then we can control birth rates. I think nature knows that. Gay people are the next step in evolution. That's why so many homosexuals are what is currently viewed by people as 'awesome'. These 'awesome' people will jump up hoppidy hop, up to the top. Then they will ameliorate policies, and even more homosexuals will rule our world.

Women will be the ruling gender of our world, and then gay people will be. It does seem a little radical for the current century. But think about what happened in the previous one. People went from being unable to communicate at distances more that ten meters away to seeing each others faces live while on opposite sides of the Earth. Technology turned over.  Society will.
