Debate

Officially, women are men's equals, in working life, in politics and in everyday life. Beneath the surface there is a different order where women have to settle for lower pay and worse conditions. Is this an expression of a male society, or are the reasons more profound?


The gender war

The old war of the sexes rages on like never before and shows no signs of abating. Feministic movements emerges from time to time but never quite seem to establish themselves on a more permanent basis. Different branches of feminism express different directions and goals, but there is no consensus except the notion that men are opposed to women's liberation. But is that the case really, are men actively and permanently holding women down? What does 'equality' mean in real life, does women actually want to become like men are, and extinguish the differences?

How does the unspoken slogan go; “there are no good men, the only good man is a dead man”? Does the road to equality between the sexes inevitably go through open warfare which leads to a tipping of the scales whereby the women "take power" over the men? Women sometimes openly express their opinion that men are stupid, sluggish, single-minded, emotionally underdeveloped and childish. Undoubtedly, men have problems, everyone knows this fact. Perhaps it tells us a hidden truth about the woman in general; how does she actually raise her sons?


The role of the intellect

Women and men evidently have different ways of thinking and they see life from slightly different perspectives. Of course, you have to ignore the individual differences that always exist, we are of course talking about men and women in general terms. The man is, simply put, single-tracked but deep; it is a conscious channel at work. As a rule, the man can only do one thing at a time, often he thinks first, then he acts. This way of working inevitably causes problems in the interaction with women, but of course there are also advantages. The man has an ability to focus on individual problems and see all its details, he is also good at structuring and organizing.

The woman's nature is considerably more complicated, she has a superior intellect but, paradoxically, is completely ignorant of how she herself works. Women's simultaneous capacity is admittedly good, they are able to do several things at once without the result being significantly worse. This ability is certainly related to the organization of the brain, women have a "higher degree of lateralization"; the brain hemispheres work independently of each other, where each one has a word and an image function respectively. The result is two independent centers of consciousness that can be used simultaneously or each separately. The brain hemispheres are nevertheless specialized for verbal and visual expressions.

Women sometimes switch between their centers of consciousness, often without even knowing it. The consciousness in one hemisphere of the brain does not always have the same mood as the other, which can give rise to some strange situations. Men often (to their surprise) witness this scene change which can be triggered by a certain gesture or by a choice of words. If the woman herself is aware of the "transition" there is no problem, but how many women know that the phenomenon exists? Another difference between the sexes is that women seem to experience the world "twice"; first she experiences the physical reality, then she reviews her experience of what actually took place.

To summarize the role of the intellect, it is of the utmost importance that women become aware of how they themselves function. Sighing and rolling your eyes at men's idiocy is no way to solve problems. It is not up to women to change men into something other than what they are, the woman's job is to look at herself and learn something in the process. The universe, or God if you will, aims to make men and women more alike without making them identical, there is a development that works in the background. Everyone, whether a man or a woman, must study his person, there is only one person you can influence; yourself.


The feminine splendor

How does the woman generally see herself? One of the more common perceptions seems to be that the woman has an image of herself as a victim. But the picture is split because in the midst of self-denial, the woman is "elevated", she considers herself too good to fight and lift herself out of her situation. The woman often believes herself to be the good and bright one, the one who always works for peace and harmony. The man, on the other hand, is evil and dark, the man is raw and unrefined with sex and violence as his only interests. The woman sees herself cast down on a dark and inhospitable earth where she does not belong. She is more experienced, more serious and more responsible than men (but she puts up with it for the sake of the children).

It is hardly a coincidence that websites created by women are almost always about angels and/or cats. The motif and content of these websites say something about the female self-image. Angels are always good and brilliant beings; clear, clean and without any stain, they seem to float a little above the crowd. Cats also stay on their edge, they go their own way and don't ask anyone else for advice. The cat is also holy, just as women want to be holy (saints). After all, women don't swear and they don't resort to violence, they are far above sexuality and they don't engage in trivial and unnecessary things like playing. Thanks to the high virtue of woman, mankind may endure, or…

That men have problems of various kinds is no news to anyone, but women also have problems and this must reach the public debate. Women's problems are hardly of a sporadic or superficial nature, women have fundamental existential problems that are at least as dignified as any difficulty a man may face. It happens that women use weak individuals as clubs to emphasize their goodness, a famous statement in that style is: "We must think of the children", implied; "I work for the good of the children, therefore I am better than you". But we cannot differentiate between children, adults or the elderly; everyone is human, it's the same values regardless of age.


Indulging in play

Many adults, and especially women, believe that they are better people the less time they spend playing. But it's just the opposite, adults who dare to engage in play become healthier as people. It is allowed and even desirable to play as adults. What the play looks like is less important but one thing is important; the play must be manifested in physical reality. Some women say: "I certainly play, but in my thoughts"; sorry, but that's no valid statement.


Fulfilled sexuality

Women must dare to live out their sexuality to the fullest, there must be an end to the false moralism that no one believes in anymore anyway. Exactly what the woman's inclinations and desires are is probably still somewhat obscure, but the secrets must come out eventually. Spare us claims like the woman would somehow have a more elevated sexuality because that just gets pathetic. Women's sexuality may look different but it finally needs to come out.


Channeled aggression

Did anyone think that women don't carry hatred and aggression? Think again in that case, because the difference is only in how the aggressiveness is released. It is not an ounce better to live out hatred and resentment through wrapped phrases or through cunning schemes. Violence is violence and it leads to damage to the environment, even if the violence is of an invisible nature. Women should channel their anger into physical activities that do little harm, for their own good and everyone's good.


The small difference

Seen from an esoteric perspective, differences between men and women are highly temporary. We live in different forms of "soul radiation" which defines us as men or women. This is a continuous process that has to do with rebirth. We live 2x7 lives in male energies followed by 2x7 lives in female energies and so on in eternal cycles. We can call off the gender war here and now because no one is permanently and forever male or female.

It is certainly true that the woman has a "noble gene" in her blood, a highly developed species of a spacefaring race had to stand as a model for the female side of mankind. The male side evolved from a more earthy species and hence the disproportionately large gap between the sexes (women are from Venus, men from Mars). But the point is that both became human (for better or for worse) and both must therefore be human, on the same terms.


The road to equality

Is it really true that men have the power in society? That image can be strongly questioned. It may be that men have traditionally held councils and made decisions in extended families, in villages and in cities. But the woman has of course always been involved behind the scenes, influencing her husband's decisions and pushing through her will in obscure ways. The saying "the cunning of a woman is beyond the reasoning of a man" illuminates the situation quite well. The men may have the power "on paper" but the women always have the last word.

Chinese wisdom books talk about opposites when you want to realize something. For example: "He who wants to expand his kingdom must first make it smaller", or "he who wants to wipe something dry should first make it wet", or "he who wants to tie someone to himself should first let her go". So what will be the equivalent for the woman who (with soul and heart) wants to become man's equal? Which way should she go, how will she manage to overcome any difficulties that may arise?


My answer to the woman of today is simple and clear:

Step down to earth and become fully human!
