Well said, good post.
There is already a decline in the male population, as well as a weakening of their genetics.
I wouldn't be surprised if the whole gay increase and feminising of men is mother natures way of redressing the balance from all the hideous misogyny.
This subject is something that I have lived with since I was born, a mother that favoured the male. The violent, egotistical selfishness of a male sibling was implanted, nurtured, and rewarded. My childhood was like some sort of hell at 'home' because of this. No wonder I threw myself wholeheartedly into education, work and left that 'home' as soon as I could. I was literally told that females were ''lesser, not the decision makers, unimportant etc'' and forced to do housework from an early age while my male sibling didn't do any and was ran after hand and foot and declared ''head of the house'' before even hitting puberty.
Sounds like the dark ages, Victorian era, some traditional Indian households or the 1800's, but no, average white people of European ethnicity growing up in the UK in the 70's and 80's.
So it isn't just the male attitudes than need challenging it is the attitudes of women that have bought into the male hierarchy and subservience of females.edit on 23-3-2014 by theabsolutetruth because: (no reason given)
Sounds like your problem with men is you had bad parents and an annoying brother.
So, now all men need to learn some manners...
I think your attitude needs challenged. Get a grip. Really.
The playing field is equal. There are plenty of female turds out there ruining the world alongside the males..

The reason some women are obsessed with all this is because they are really no better than their male counterparts who are obsessed with control, power ect.
I'm getting the feeling - or message - that you are very bitter and angry at the world and your circumstances.

I actually see and believe this about the idea of an elevated womanhood to the point of deification. Lots and lots of nonsense floats around the subject. Its not good for women and most that hover around the idea have issues with many things. I am sorry you see it as bitter. Maybe you are projecting.
Aphorism
Everyone is intrinsically spiritual. People who think they are more spiritual than others , perhaps because they perform more rituals, read more "spiritual" literature, or engage in more enthusiasm, are merely people who act as if they are more spiritual, but on a fundamental level, aren't.

Well you may want to bone up. That was the whole idea of the pagan female divine. And your are right they did provide balance....a balance between the male and female attributes
I refer you to the ancient British pre-Roman times mythology.
Druids were men with spiritual knowledge; the Ladies of Avalon were held as equally important. They worked together.
Bone up on what?

You need to ask yourself if its really balance between the male and female that you truly want. Now my point has been be it balanced, male of female dominated, the pagans are nothing to exemplify gender attributes. They have used it all as control mechanisms. Who cares it the Druids and the Lady's of Avalon were on some sort of equal footing....you get the same from both...don't step out of line. You kiss Odin's ass or you kiss the ass of Sofia....but you will kiss some ass. You get the control freaks at both directions.
