YES! The return of the thread and the comics SHIT! SHIT! WRONG ONE! The laws of yin and yang you are talking about is called Taiji. It is not yin and yang, it is one ever changing principle that you need to think of as a whole and not as separate yin and yang. It is called the supreme ultimate like the Tao because even though it is made of two parts that define yin and yang, they are always true because they change. Say, you have one sky above your house and it is blue and at night it becomes black. You will be right if you say that the sky is blue but you will also be wrong because at night it will become black. It is not permanent, if you say the sky is yang then at night it will become yin. The change happens when one of the elements reaches it's most powerful state. When it's so loud that you become deaf, and when it's so quiet that any sound is a noise. Like when it has been a day for so long that it finally becomes night. You can make a list of what is yin and what is yang. How day is yang because like other yang things it's time to be active and night is yin because yin is time to rest. Awake time and rest time also yin and yang. Bright and dark. Sun and the moon. The list will be right but it will also be wrong. Taiji is the source of everything and the principle applies everywhere. The moon is yin but it's the brightest thing in the sky at night and it doesn't appear only at night and instead of being white or grey, it can be red. The yin and the yang are not permanent, they have to feed each other and change into each other. The Tao that can be defined is not the eternal Tao, that is the principle behind the taiji. If one is called yang for a long time, there will be a time for it to finally change into its yin state. If you say that women are taking on qualities of men, you will be wrong, because they qualities never belonged to men in the first place nor they belonged to women. There is a balance of what is socially acceptable in a society where it's decided what is acceptable by the majority and the minority who does not agree is pushed out. The society is made of people with their own inner balance who could probably organize a mob of yang people to push out all the yins out of their community. Over time the yang inside of the community would change to accept the yin inside of themselves and in the society but that would take a lot of time and waiting. These people can wait. The revolution starts by the people who want to go against the norm and come together to change things that are unfair. If you are yin in a yang community, you wont agree to assimilate to the yangs, and all the other yins would follow you. All the yins will come together to vote and sit in front of the buss. The world grew out of the rigid duality where one is like that and the other is like this. We see that there is also the five elements and the ten thousand things. We have the Internet and we can see through it people who we could not imagine before. So many ideals and opinions with rights and wrongs. In isolated places, isolated incidents, one side will always be right. Because of their traditions and beliefs, they've kept their rules the same. Because they lived by their rules in their small communities, they didn't have many problems, but when someone's life is made difficult by their rules, they just have to carry on through. For these small communities their rules are obvious and expect the rest of the world to agree. But if they connect with the rest of the world and see how their rules would have hurt so many people, they would have to change. If you are being discriminated against because you are black, gay, or heaven forbid, a girl, then there needs to be a change. There is a misconception that if you are alone in the world, you loose. If the whole room disagrees with you, you have not lost. In taiji there is always a balance, if you are alone against the world then it still means you can take them. You can beat the world because the universe made it so everything is always in the balance. You are the only ship at the sea, needle in a haystack and the angriest out of the 12 other angry men in the room. All eyes are on you. If you fall on the haystack, you will feel pain from the needle more then from a piece of hay number 54348967. You can argue with the whole jury because until you agree with them, no one can go home. By standing up you are doing good for yourself and others like you out there. Feminism wont go away because it's standing up in a fight for the right of women while the rest of the world feels apathetic. It is the weirdest and strangest thing in the world of dudebros.

I think feminism can get some bad representation, badmouthed a lot, and joining the cause might not feel like changing anything. But I think that it's important to stand your ground and set a good example everyone else to see.

'Cuz I'm the good guy, and from the start feminism was about equality. I was kinda one by default but if you have to ask and point it out then I always been a feminist. MORE COMICS
