26. The elite have ALWAYS abused women and children.

Men, too, for that matter. The elite have always gotten away with it in the past, and there's nothing to suggest that will change anytime soon. Lowborn are nothing to the highborn, and politics exists to protect those highborn and help them expand their wealth, privilege and power. Abuse is their privilege. That's civilization. Politicians are merely the servants of the elite.

If we really wanted something else, we'd have to figure out how to replace civilization with something better. That would be "uncivilized."

Like it or not, admit it or not, abuse is VERY civilized.
