WOMEN What it's like to be one |

I describe a real woman as a female warrior who wields the sword of well-balanced loves. As a young girl I read the same fairy tales as everyone else, but I saw the woman as the hero/ine. Women have come a long way in a struggle towards equality with men by fighting for it, but it seems to me that goal should be revisited. The fact is women are already equal because they are made the same way, come from the same place and are born into this world as human beings with the same gray matter. That is a fact that everyone can accept intellectually. A future with 'the struggle' for women begins when they are conditioned as children to only become a societal stereotype. When they are allowed to develop their own minds and interests naturally, they can draw on that experience to make better choices in the future and lighten their already full load. The misconception while in 'the struggle' is when we think we should try to be like men. We are led to believe that we only have two choices, to be a house-woman or to be a pseudo-man. The fact is that we cannot be any type of man at all, we can only really be women and that's what we really are doing. The fact that we can do many of the things that men can doesn't make us more man-like, it makes us more woman-like. We could already do what men do, but some man put a label on it and restricted us from doing it. On the other hand, men can already do a lot of what women do, but they too have read the label, and often restrict themselves from doing it. For me, the only difference between men and women is in our hormones and the only separation is how we use the ego. We've all seen how delusional and destructive the male egoism can be and the world is still suffering many consequences. How do you think men would react to being degraded, belittled, and tormented by women? They would cry and start a testosterone campaign. Not a realistic picture when you think about it, since women are not inclined to act out of ego in that manner. So why would anyone think that women should submit to a brow or muscle beating? We have a better muscle we can use, our brain. We don't need to fight against men in general, we need to strengthen our resolve to bringing back the woman we truly are.
I get myself all in a tizzy when I think of all of the knowledge that is right now being stifled in most every woman in this world. What if all of that was to be released? We would see how brightly lit our future could be then! The expanse of the untapped source of knowledge and intelligence in women is unfathomable. Humanity is starving for the food of knowledge that women bring to the table and it can no longer be quashed by the shadow of the ego. I am glad that I have learned to release my own voice as the facts of these things are easy to say. There...now I've gone and worked myself into a poem.
This is not me being a "man-hater" in any sense of the word as I have written fervent love poems for them and about them. I can also imagine what a fine relationship would look and feel like for me. In daily life though, with chauvinistic men I have had to build a strong resistance to thump them at times because of their condescending attitude towards me as they arrogantly take credit for my ideas. I find that men can be great buddies and conversationalists, but they tend to find sex in any topic which then causes them to squirrel out and the conversation gets lost somewhere in la-la land. To develop a partnership in business or pleasure, they want to puff themselves up through me and control my life. Since I do not want to have a sugar daddy and do not want to be some guy's arm candy, I can see the signs and that's when it ends. It's a sad situation for both and it's that conditioned male attitude that I avoid so I could know myself as a person and not a thing. I see it as a stagnant mind pool that must receive the fresh water of a higher intelligence so we don't get stuck in a thick mind mud of ego-hell. And besides, there is no way on earth that I'll let my son learn to be a man from one of those kind of men. In spite of being around them in society, he is learning to be a strong and independent man with an appreciation for both genders. He is tempering his ego and controlling his hormones so he can use his own intelligent mind without hindrance to create a great life for himself.
