"Women and Men are Different; not only different, but Opposites. But they are not unequal, they are Equal."
"Women and Men are Different; not only different, but Opposites. But they are not unequal, they are Equal."
----------------------
For me everyday is Woman's Day ......
In this very moment, here and now, a Woman is nurturing Life ...... in some or the other form, as Mother, as Teacher, as CEO of the Family, as Lover, as an Employee or CEO in a Corporate Environment, in the Village Environment - in Farming, Family Management, ...... where is she not ..... everywhere!!
Woman is the source of Humanity. We come from Woman and we go back to Woman in various forms.
Woman do not need freedom, or so-called equality ..... to be conferred upon them from any external person or any agency. A Woman is one of the Most Beautiful Phenomenon in the World; Not to be Compared with Anything Else. The Woman is a Masterpiece of Creation or God.
What Woman as well as Men need is to reach-out to themselves and understand their Design.
The first thing to be understood is that men and women are different; not only different, but opposites. But they are not unequal, they are equal. There is difference, there is oppositeness, there is a polarity, but they are not unequal, they are equal. Two opposites are always equal, otherwise they cannot oppose each other.
The second thing to be understood is that the female body exists for a totally different purpose – biologically, physiologically, chemically. It has a different function to fulfill than the male body. And it is so different from the male body that unless you pe*****te into the deeper layers of biology you will not be able to understand the difference. They exist as if in two worlds apart. The woman carries a womb. The very word ‘woman’ comes from ‘man with a womb’. And the womb is so important – nothing is more important than the womb, because a new life has to come through it. The whole moving phenomenon of life passes through it; it is the very gate into this world. And because of the womb, the woman has to be receptive, she cannot be aggressive. The womb cannot be aggressive; it has to receive, it has to be an opening, it has to invite the unknown. The womb has to be a host; the man will be the guest.
Because of the womb being a central phenomenon in the feminine body, the whole psychology of woman differs. She is non-aggressive, non-inquiring, non-questioning, non-doubting, because all those things are part of aggression. The man doubts, he inquires, he goes in search; she waits. The man will come in search of her. She will not take the initiative, she simply waits – and she can wait infinitely.
If you have known one woman, you have known all women. If you have known one man, you have known all men. Then the differences are only in the outer form. With understanding, awareness of who a woman, man is by design, one can effortlessly Respect, Celebrate the Differences as a new, fresh form of Togetherness, Connectedness, Oneness, Lovingness. All sense of Inequality, absence of Freedom, need for Liberation ..... is always when a human being does not feel Loved Enough, does not feel Respected, Safe Enough, does not feel Enough at all, by mere existing here in the lap of planet Earth .........
Yes, due to ages of conditioning, suppression of feminine qualities, need is felt for gender equality – but not the way the women’s liberation movement is going. It is taking a reactionary attitude, it is not a real revolution. It is trying to imitate man. And remember, imitation never makes you equal; imitation at the most will make you a carbon copy – but the original is original.
