Ah, better not. Don't want to be at the receiving end.

The Celts did have an egalitarian society for most of their history in which the women and men were fairly equal though. In fact, women were allowed to be chiefs and kings, and I recall that property was inherited through the mother's side, not the father's. The Celts also did not enslave anyone, unlike the Romans.

You might be right about equality. But the Celts did have slaves, a quick link is here:

If your argument is more on the line that the did not enslave as much people as the Romans: Well, the Romans didn't enslave everyone else either. In most cases only those who resisted them. Many Gallic tribes were not enslaves (make this almost all). They took hostages but that was not slavery.
