masculinity and femininity are two parts of the same thing. Our society was once matriarchal. So many things have been twisted in this patriarchal society - our idea of love and sex are a lie. Women are taught to hide their sexuality. Women are valued for their "virtue" society seems to have a real problem with a strong sensual female. For a woman to succeed in business she becomes a psuedo male A womans sexuality is her true power a gift from our Divine Universal Mother )O(

Arrgh!!! "The divine feminine in all of us" I gotta disagree with that.

That thinking is simply a product of the warped view that society has of masculinity! Te capacity that a man has for love and affection is not his 'feminine side', it is simply the other half of his masculine nature. It is the part of masculinity that we have rejected. The strength that is embodied in true masculinity is driven and harnesed by LOVE.

True masculinity is an inner strength, ennobled by love & compassion.

I disagree with his first statement. Life isn't possible without men and women, we equally play a part in carrying out reproduction.

Hey dude are a feminist hiding in a man suit? Women are needed to propagate the species but so are men too u politically correct dumbass. Lets pretend we that human biology is the fairy tale you make it out to be ok, and woman soley involved in reproduction by laying eggs. Just because you are an incubator doesnt mean that your guaranteed power and authority; it takes other attributes to gain those things.

[Schweinehirte]

Why do people always claim that women are soley responsible for making children? Perhaps I didn't pay enough attention in biology class, but I'm sure that women need a little "help" from men before say can give birth to children.
