So sorry for causing friction Monica. First of all I know you to be a very reasonable woman. I don't believe you look down on men. I don't think you have any ill will in the matter at all.. And it is certainly not you I hold accountable for any of this.
On a side note when we speak of history I speak of the past 100 thousand years you're speaking about the last 7 thousand years.. The past 7 millennia had less influence on the psychology of man. Whats important is how things where much further back.
But I'm fairly certain that there is at least a subconscious belief in the ideas I'm raging against. You are expressing them...
You speak from the same patriarchal values that we both dislike but that were imposed upon our society. Before they were imposed there was a far greater amount of equality. Women were not the spoils of war for the vast majority of human evolution. Women were valued tribesmen who held quite a lot of power.
*I* held the same beliefs and values. So I don't hold any blame. I merely hope to show that these beliefs are so common that we hardly see them any more.
People often don't even recognize this fact...

Quote:I don't think so. It's not sexist to face the statistics. It is what it is. Statistically, men cheat more. They have more 1-night stands. They take longer to commit. When they do cheat, it's with women who are more attractive than their wives, so physical appearance is more of a factor; whereas with women (statistically) the emotional connection is more often a factor.You're quite clearly in unquestioning agreement with the statistics, which show behavior, not intrinsic values. And which also show a different picture when we make women equals in those relationships.
Quote: 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).You're in agreement with the idea that women somehow have to educate men in how to use their higher chakras.
Quote:Men aren't procreating as much as they did before readily available contraception, but the biological urge is still there, which is considered by many 'experts' to be the explanation for higher rates of infidelity among men than among women:And you're in agreement with the idea that men have different intrinsic motivations for sex. That men want to procreate as often as possible. While this is not the case for women...

Forgive, and then continue co-creating the enlightened male you are.This for example.., Read it a few times and read how immensely unfair it is. It's not just the females who have been suppressed... Men are STILL not themselves... It's not the men that did the suppressing. It was ideas that did that. And men were also hurt by it..
Women: You can forgive the males for the same. And you can forgive yourselves for allowing to be disempowered for millennia, and now continue to co-create the enlightened female you are.
