The Female Pope...

As the dust stirred up by the book Da Vinci Code has yet fully settled down, a new controversy surrounding another historical female figure emerges, the enigmatic Pope Joan. Though the evidence of her existence is a little far-fetched and hard to validate, still this battle between sexes that has been going on since the ancient times fascinated me. Just which sex is the dominant one? Are women indeed born inferior to men? Should we believe that Eve was made from a bone of Adams, or is it just a propaganda? Should we settle for our current social status, or should we fight for what we lost thousands of years ago?
