Only with the return of the Divine Feminine will we become equals...

Explain how this is not New Age drivel, a meaningless concept, feminist propaganda or words without substance? If you want a run on redundancy. This ill-thought remark states either that woman is not the equal of man at present, which will piss off your sisters, or that she has mistakenly placed herself above man, in which case, that makes her a jerk. So, I categorically reject your statement that: Only with the return of the Divine Feminine will we become equals

I wasn't attacking you. As I said, that paragraph was taken out of context from one of my posts because it specifically answered the post you made, which follows:



So that you won't believe that I personally attacked your level of consciousness as being low (because, you must admit, you took some heavy wallops on me, even calling me a jerk, totally reinforcing my own thesis of how difficult it is to communicate between genders), I've reproduced the original post with the paragraph that upset you so that you can see it in context. As you'll note, all of this was written way before you posted the quote immediately above, so it was never intended to single out your low level of consciousness as regards the male of the specie. Nuff said?



[Are men and women alike? We are more alike "below the neck" than we are "above the neck," if that gives you any idea of how different we really are.

The way these two genders see the world is so totally alien to the other that it requires an absolute suspension of disbelief for them to merge, usually brought on by an overpowering need for sex or love by at least one of them. It's only when one of the two is willing to hold their alien views in check long enough to actually see, feel and hear the other person that there is even a remote chance that these two will get to smell and taste each other...besides the other obvious thing.

Some of you men and women believe you can fully understand your soulmate. No, you can’t. You can predict how your mate will react under certain conditions because that's based on empyrical evidence, meaning prior experience; but this is at such a low level of consciousness that it's no better than understanding what your dog wants and needs. Most women have no idea how complex male thought is, because they think we're simple creatures with simple wants and needs (food and sex among others) and concentrate on fulfilling or denying these basic needs as a way of structuring and maintaining their female-viewed world.

Most Nobel Prize winners are men. It's a fact. These are the same men who dutifully sit at the table and listen to their wives tell them about the mailman dropping off a package, the dog peeing on the couch and the steak being slightly burned. He nods and smiles and seems contented. She tells her friends how simple his needs are and how easy he is to understand. Yet, this same man is able to theorize the double helix between mouthfuls of mash potato and to make tremendously intuitive leaps across logical chasms, such leaps as have dragged the rest of humanity up from the cave...into that nice kitchen where his wife can tell him about the mailman and the dog and the steak, thinking how simple and uncomplicated he is.

From a male point of view, we simply see you as needful creatures, needing protection, needing love, needing security...which we provide as best we can, little realizing that you are far more complex than that. That's why we can't understand why you break down crying for no good reason (as we see it). Of course you have good reason. We just don't understand it, even when you explain it, because what's important to you in your hierarchy of needs is more complex than Maslow's simple definition of needs. The same goes for men.

It is only when we recognize that we will never understand each other that we have a small chance of coming together as equals.]

My response to this is a few posts up.

Ladies, if that's all you see, you haven't tried to see.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm headed there now.

And, as horrible as this sounds, it's because it's been taken out of context.

You can predict how your children and your husband will react under certain conditions because that's based on empyrical evidence, meaning prior experiences; but this is at such a low level of consciousness that it's no better than understanding what your dog wants and needs. Most women have no idea how complex male thought is, because they think we're simple creatures with simple wants and needs (food and sex among others) and concentrate on fulfilling or denying these basic needs as a way of structuring and maintaining their female-viewed world.

Love role play. Speaking of which, check out button's 'are men and women alike' post. I've got some views on that, as you can guess.

Hey, folks, still waiting for some heavy-hitters to slam what I've said over there. Lots there to smack around, if you really took objection to my Perry Mason cross-examination of the shape-shifting defense. lol

Well, buttons, you can predict how your mate will react under certain conditions because that's based on empyrical evidence, meaning prior experiences; but this is at such a low level of consciousness that it's no better than understanding what your dog wants and needs.

Thank you for admitting that those who believe in shapeshifting or believe that they are shapeshifters are actually indulging in fantasy. Now, your original post is in error.

Are men and women alike? We are more alike "below the neck" than we are "above the neck," if that gives you any idea of how different we really are.

The way these two genders see the world is so totally alien to the other that it requires an absolute suspension of disbelief for them to merge, usually brought on by an overpowering need for sex or love by at least one of them.

If this isn't so, then why are we on the internet, barely making human contact, on this beautiful sunny Sunday? And spare me the sophomoric quips and self-serving excuses. Just admit you have no idea how the other gender sees the world and, as a result, have no adequate means of communicating with that gender, except by belittling them or flattering them.

Some people can shapeshift? Name one. As a corollary of what Popeye used to say, "You are what you are and that's all that you are." You start believing in shapeshifters, the next thing you know you'll start believing in the president of the United States.

Say what?

I am a person.

I guess I just wonder if the person whose profile that was will feel the same way when she is over 45?

Looked at another way, what if employers started posting jobs with that kind of language?
