RE: Honoring the Feminine

in #ecotrain7 years ago

It seems very unfashionable to talk about feminism now. Its a bit of a dirty word. A lot of women seem tired of having to constantly address their place in society and address themselves always in comparison to men. Women still get paid less than men and still aren't represented in positions of power nearly as much as men. To be seen and heard we are still having to do things in a male way and speak in language men understand. We are still living in a patriarchal society where our ruling Gods are male. Big shifts in consciousness still need to happen. Its so important that women get together and be women and work out what women want and act on big topics in a female way.

So much yes! One of the big reflections of this truth that drives me absolutely bonkers is female superheroes. They are all superheroes because they act masculine. I'd love to see a woman be a superhero for being compassionate, nurturing, communicative.
The way the word has been manipulated by the media is so frustrating. Feminism is beautiful and important. In fact it is necessary for our future survival. And you are right that we have to do it together.
