Nothing to be sorry for! I'm fine! But thanks!
I'm actually laughing at this. What an amazing example of how we all have our biases and distortions, and how words can be misconstrued even more when using this communication medium.
Check this out:
My single statement
...women have a sacred responsibility to help guide men from mere lust (lower chakras only) to the spiritual expression of sexuality (communion on the higher chakras also).
got misinterpreted to mean that:
1. women should be subservient to men
2. women are more spiritually advanced than men
3. women have a duty or obligation to men
4. women should guide men in all ways not just sexual
5. women and men are both locked into societal roles
6. men are incapable of feeling emotions
7. men need women to show them how to love
8. men are essentially just upright dogs with paychecks
Did I leave any out? All these misinterpretations came from that single sentence, and yet I didn't intend any of them. In fact, I emphatically disagree with all of them!
My statement was intended to convey one idea only: the integration of lust and love.
Both men and women lust, and both men and women love. But, in my understanding of what Ra and Q'uo are referring to, as well as ancient Taoist and Tantric teachings, it is the integration of lust and love that is the special role of the yin essence, potentially embodied by women.

No one, as far as I can tell, is saying that women are "better, smarter, more evolved" than men in any way. And certainly no one is suggesting the sorts of unenlightened views toward either sex cited above, unless I am missing something in this thread. :-/
Thank you, Diana!
