I'm male, but I'm sick of the male-oriented and male-based culture we live in.
Even now, sexism is still a major undercurrent throughout corporations and society in general.
Many men STILL see women as weak, as unintelligent, as just a beautiful face to provide nurture and a warm body to hold at night.
So many don't take into account the gentleness and depth of women's feelings - nor do they even try and want to understand nor acknowledge that they even exist!!
Perhaps it's down to how males are brought up in this world - the boys are given action-man toys, encouraged to compete/fight with each other, made to concentrate on physical activities.
Whilst girls are given gentle things, things of beauty, to do with the soul, people and family.
Is it a wonder in this world that many men and women find it hard to communicate or understand one another when they have been brought up with such conflicting ideas about life???!! :?
I too, would prefer to look at a God as a Goddess - as being more tender and gentle than the traditional masculine images.
I myself identify with gentleness, tenderness and softness much more than most men...
...often I've felt I should have been born a woman, for all my un-male-like thoughts and beliefs and feelings about life, love, romance etc.
But I've learned that perhaps our main goal in life is to attain a balance - that men can both be strong, yet soft. Brave, yet tender. Forthright, yet feeling...
I also deeply believe that in softness and gentleness - there is greater strength than in muscle and brawn...
