  There are always accommodations that are made. Do you condone women not playing in a men's tennis tournament? Do you condone girl's only Catholic schools? Or girl's only public schools? One has to learn to make compromises, look at the greater public good, stick to certain principles, etc.
  
  As for evolving to the most advanced societies in the world - let me tell you how that happened. It started with Italian monks bringing back scientific works from the Arab world in the 15th century It happened with Europeans risking their lives to find new routes to Asia (finding the Americas and Australia was an accident). 
  
  Today, I don't see too many westerners going to learn anything from the East. I don't see too many westerners risking their lives to get to a place. Those difficult tasks are being done by Asians, Africans, Arabs, etc.
  
  And the reason Asia fell was complacency and arrogance (along with sense of superiority). Guess who feels that now?
