Thanks for the comment Nathan, but, most of my pictures have some sort of
story or message attached. And every time I interpret one of my pictures I
seem to get a lot of flames.

So here goes. The reason behind this picture, and probably would only be
understood by a radical feminist, is look at the woman, she has an uphill
climb but she is more than 50% from the beginning. She is behind the man who
is at the top. The man appears to be running and is carrying a large box
(the baggage of being male in today's society?). So there you have my
thinking behind this picture.
