How far behind the world is the Flood

When it comes to their knowledge, understanding and handling of social justice issues? I would say they're about five years behind on the treatment of gay people and women, maybe double that when it comes to trans people. Hard to say when it's about race because that seems to be the one thing people actually get offended by and complain about, so racists tend to keep quiet more often, but if I had to guess I'd say they were still a couple of years behind. Why do you think the Flood has such trouble understanding these issues? What do you think could be done to improve their understanding?

  • I haven't been on the Offtopic forum for very long but if they really are that far behind, most of them aren't that vocal about it. I also think it's difficult to generalize "the world" when it comes to treatment of gays, transsexuals, and women since different countries and different political parties inside those countries treat them differently. Everyone has a responsibility to be more accepting of other people, although in the end you can only compare the progress of people's knowledge and understanding to your own.
