Dear Woman

Based on the "Manifesto for Conscious Men," a collectively-written document from a number of men who feel deep appreciation for the gifts of the feminine as a balance to those of the masculine. This document acknowledges many thousands of years of dominance of masculine power, and offers an apology for the suppression of women, in the spirit of a fresh start. The authors do not advocate the domination of men by women or feminine energy, but feel that a balance and equal respect for both energies will allow for a new wave of evolution on our planet.

Agh! 'Intuitive sense' and 'connection to the Earth'. What the hell? Knowledge of how to heal the planet comes from the study of ecology and the social sciences. Women do not possess an 'intuitive sense' of GHG emissions, wildlife corridors, multilateral treaties, market externalities, fishery stocks, invasive species control, eutrophication, and energy policy. These things require study. Nobody has an 'intuitive sense' of them.

This video seems really essentialist, and extremely spiritualistic. Note, I'm not one of those people who ever uses the word 'spiritualistic' in a positive sense. Jasus, what's all this rot about 'energies'? I mean, yeah, don't be sexist. Critique your ideas about gender. Reject destructive and dehumanizing gender roles. But ferchrissakes, enough about the damned 'energies' and 'cocreation'. Sound like bloody new agers.

Holy Midol! I can only figure that this is a manifestation of the Oslo Syndrome. Peaceful resolution of conflict? My gosh, my ex-wife used to want to fight everybody she met in the street. I guess the impulse to stereotype is so strong that if you stop stereotyping in a negative way, you have to start doing it in a positive way. Well, if these guys are just trying to get laid, I can't really fault them. If they believe all this hogwash, well, God help us.

Which cult is this for and when is the mothership coming to pick you guys up?

Oh just shut the hell up. Men owe nothing to women. I personally enjoy only the vaginal areas of women. You queer bitches need to shut the fuck up and grow a penis. See yens.

How were women supposed to survive when they weren't allowed to work? They had no choice but to 'leech' and to become dependent on men to survive. And why would they apologies for whoring? Men have to be willing customers for that to work.

(So, they fail for depending on men for help, or they fail for trying to earn a living in your books... loose loose. )

Who never had the spine to stand up and stop it. They were loving, sure, but they were usually under the belief that women weren't much more intelligent than children so had to be treated as if dealing with a child.
