Experimental Children In Eve's Garden

It wasn't an obvious thing for me to consider, but the thought was persistent. Perhaps that was the best God could do at the time. I don't remember when I first received this Impression or how many times I received it before it became part of what I knew and understood. Early on it annoyed me; for any implication that God could can be insufficient and less than an infallible God was more that I believed I could safely entertain. Besides, I was ambivalent about the source. When I chose to assert divine revelation, I experienced too much anxiety to... Read more →

Men Have No God Given Authority To Dominate Women.

It is important that mothers and fathers teach your sons and daughters that No God gave men authority to dominate women. Creation's design for rational sentient pairs intended the human sexual dyad to be a symbiotic bond. Created out of the same elements, men and women have the same biological systems except for differences in the emotional, physical, and reproductive designs necessary for the propagation of the human species. You can subscribe to the biblical assertion in the book of Genesis that "God took a rib from Adam, the first man, to create Eve, the first woman"; or you can... Read more →

What Did My Relationships With Other Women Teach My Daughter?

When my daughter, the only child of divorced parents, was a teen, she told me, "I want a man who will treat me like you treat me. But not like you treat other women." Perhaps I had a momentary mental blackout when she said it, but in my memory the comment came out of nowhere. In my mind, nothing in our conversation should have elicited that comment. Perhaps it was part of a conversation she carried on in her head. Perhaps it was just something she felt she needed to tell me. In my mind, it made me sit up... Read more →

It's Time To Start Shaming Rapists Instead Of Rape Victims.

"Why is there more shame in being raped than in being a rapist?" I've read this quote on a number of social media pages. But I've never read a male response that I can remember. At least I have never read a male response that made any sense. Of course, dumb jerks who think they are smart and funny always manage to make an asinine comment about rape. But we aren't talking about them. Men who think rape is funny, or worse believe rape is sometimes a justifiable act, possess no redeeming value and are beyond help. Society's only hope...

Men Use The Bible To Suppress And Control Women

Many Conservative Republicans men and fundamentalist from the Christian Right have a penchant for quoting the Bible as validation for denying women the right of free will and free choice. But the conservative preoccupation with using God and the Bible serves only to motivate the scared and the gullible in order to perpetuate an agenda of suppression,control, and sometimes the abuse of women in order to make women submissive to men. It is past time that women, who live in a culture where they can legally make personal decisions and personal choices, stop putting up with this insanity. Women should... Read more →

What Women Can Learn From Female Lions.

Life is tough for females throughout the animal kingdom. Still, some women might enjoy life a lot better if they took life lessons from some female animals--especially female lions. One only needs to watch the National Geographic Channel and other real reality TV broadcasts to observe how lionesses share a sisterhood. Lionesses share a cooperative sisterhood that is beneficial for them and their off springs. Lionesses accept the male lion for what he contributes to their lives and for the survival of the pride. He is there for protection and for reproduction purposes only. Lionesses know that their role is... Read more →

Women And The Bad Boy Syndrome: Taught, Learned, Or Real Addiction?

I sometimes wonder where some women, who otherwise seem intelligence, get the notion that it is cool, smart, sexy, or heroic to share their bed with a "bad boy". Where did they learn that loving a bad boy was a good thing for women to do. More importantly, having a choice, how does any woman arrive at the conclusion that a love relationship with a bad boy has any kind of up side to it. One wonders if this a lesson some mothers teach their daughters. One would guess that it is not the kind of lesson a mother who... Read more →

25 Posts Inspired By My Primeval Female Muse.

I have a Muse. I have never met her, but I know she is female. I do not know her name, so I call her Eve. I have never seen her because she is dead. She died a very long time ago. She is primeval. But her ancestral memories flood my emotions and my mind as if they were my own. Why me? I do not know. Why now is also a mystery to me. Though, sometimes I think she was with me long before I was ready to acknowledge her and accept that my Muse is primeval and a... Read more →

There Are Benefits In Platonic Love Relationships

Most people enjoy a superior more satisfying life when they share a healthy platonic love relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Men and women who share healthy platonic love relationships receive a nurturing source of symbiotic energy that is beneficial to both male and females. Unfortunately, maintaining a platonic love relationship with a member of the opposite sex is often seen as a high risk, and sometimes, overwhelming task for many people. Adults young and old commonly profess an unwillilngness or an inability to believe that a nurturing friendship, especially between two sexually attractive people, will not inevitably... Read more →

A Historical Look At The Power and Inflluence Of Women's Beauty

Women powered by a healthy emotional sense of well being and a strong healthy self-esteem cannot help but be more beautiful than she would be if she were drained by a weak emotional state of being and suffered from unhealthy low self-esteem. A strong healthy self-esteem as a contributor to a woman's natural beauty is, in part, greatly influenced by her realization and acceptance of the natural strength, power, and influence women have over men. Men have long understood the strength of women, women's influence over men, and the power of a woman's beauty. As a result men have gone... Read more →

Neither Historical Entitlements Nor Male Defects Justify Rape.

Americans take pride in being a moral civilized nation. But the stupidity and callous ease with which American men, both privately and publicly try to justify or defend rape is anything but civilized. Conservative congressmen and conservative candidates for congress have made outrageous statements in the efforts to explain away and justify rape. In 2013, Americans were appalled and outraged at the death of a young woman from an horrific gang-rape in India. Many were also outraged by a comment made by a lawyer for one of the defendants when he said that "no 'respectable woman' would be raped." But... Read more →

Liberal And Conservative Women Must Unite To Fight The War On Women.

At some point women must demand that male legislators, apart from the women with whom they share voluntary intimacy, must leave the vagina and uterus alone. In a democracy, a woman's vagina and uterus should not be a perpetual battleground. Does what a woman do with vagina and her reproductive organs really a business of politics, especially right wing conservative men in politics? At a time when sexual violence and assaults against women is at an all time global high, so called intelligent men in a congressional democracy seem obsessed with continuing and escalating the conservative war on women. But... Read more →

Real Christian Men Do Not Justify Rape, Slavery, And Sexual violence Against Women.

Americans, especially those claiming to be Christians, should be outraged that America's military leaders along with conservative politicians and pundits try to justify or ignore rape and other sexual violence against women in the military. Some men choose to ignore or try to justify any rape and military rape in the time of peace or war, slavery for any reason, pre-emptive war for economics reasons, and the rape of young girls by high school athletics. That these same men also can claim to be moral christians is a testament to the warped sensibilities and absurdities of the human male's mind... Read more →

Noise And Silence Damage Beauty And Intimate Relationships.

There is a reason why both men and women feel more attractive when they are in love. Beauty thrives in a nurturing intimate relationship. Noise and silence, on the other hand, destroy emotional health, love relationships, and-as a consequence-destroys physical beauty. The damage is obvious and predictable. Couples caught up in chronic intimate romantic conflict have a habit of y modifying or completely eliminating verbal communications as punishment for what they feel are personal affronts and transgressions. It happens even when the perceived transgression is slight. Verbal punishment takes many forms with varying degrees of damage to emotional health and... Read more →

When Men Write History Women Are Accessory Companions.

Following a glass or two of wine, my friend raised an interesting question. "About that Garden of Eden Story," she said, "at the creation of our birthing kind, which would a Rational Intelligent Being create first; one who could birth or one who could not? You don't have to answer", she cautioned, "because in reality, in this Patriarchal world, it really doesn't matter , does it? Because that's what happens when men write history--especially when history masquerades as religion, or worse, masquerades as the word of God!" Nevertheless, it was an interesting question, not the same as but not far... Read more →

Real Men Don"t Call Women Names; It's Ugly And Weak, Not Clever And Funny.

Some men are quick to openly call a woman overweight and unattractive, with or without a basis for saying it. Some jerks are even prone to using "fat" and "ugly" to describe women as if it were a funny or clever thing to say. But how many overweight men do you know who were openly conscious and self deprecating about their own ponderous weight and lack of attractiveness. One prime example of this ludicrous hypocrisy is Steve Vaillancourt a Republican State lawmaker from New Hampshire. In full misogyny mode, Vaillancourt had the gall to write a post which claimed that... Read more →

Indictment And Confessions Of A Man Who Hates And Loves Women?

"Why do you hate women?" Serenely snuggled against my chest, she said it quietly, but I heard a scream. Of all the things she might have said or could have said, why this? This, only minutes after she had blessed the space around us with groans and moans that seemed to come from the fauna of her soul followed by tears and laughter that seemed to come from the flora that was her personality. Whether any of it was real or just for my benefit, I never posited a guess. I ignored the scream and sought refuge in the quiet... Read more →

We live in a world dominated by men, often at the expense of women. So we expect that some people would have negative reactions to lessons that inspires a young girl's self confidence and promote the social, psychological, emotional, and physical power of women. Why?

Sex Between Unsympathetic Partners Afflicts Emotional And Sexual Health.

Sexual Intercourse between partners who are not in sympathy with each other afflicts the emotional and sexual health of both partners. Lovers who share sympathy have mutual feelings of trust, loyalty, devotion, and an allegiance that debases neither.

Does Evil Influence A Culture of Sexual Violence On Women And Some Men's Need To Abuse The Vagina?

While the sex drive is strong in all mammals, the human male's fascination with the vagina is obsessive. Men have always had a powerful sexual attraction for women. Without a powerful sexual attraction our species would be diminished or extinct. However, beyond the need to procreate and receive sexual pleasure, human males seems fascinated by and mesmerized by the vagina.

Given the male's sexual attraction for women and our fascination with the vagina, why then... Read more →

The Human Male Is The Best Argument Against Intelligent Design.

I am inclined to believe in a God of Creation but first must admit that the human male is the best argument against Intelligent Design. Nothing about the behavior, psychology, and sensibilities of men in Eve's Garden can lead any rational thinking man or woman to assume that the creation of the male of our species was an intelligent decision--especially if male domination and the violence that accompanied it was a predictable outcome by an Omnipotent God. We can be on one side or the other. Either the belief Christians have that our Creator God is a God of Love... Read more →

Why Women Haters Like Rush Limbaugh and Men of His Ilk are a Bane on America

Even men of moderate intelligence should realize that if America is to be and remain a great nation, men must take pleasure in having genuine love and respect for all women. And this love and respect for women must accrue to all women irrespective of any woman's economic status or social status, political party affiliation, ethnic background, nationality, the private or social relationship she shares with men, or any man's personal standards of physical beauty. Americans should show disdain for men like Rush Limbaugh who seem to find pleasure in the vulgar verbal abuse of women and in promoting and... Read more →

The Spirit and Wisdom of Women Can Save The Human Race From Extinction.

The collective resolve, spirit, and wisdom of Women and the collective resolve and wisdom of the men who love them and their children can initiate the impetus to bring about the changes that can save the human race from extinction.

Savior Women Can Heal Where Men Protect And Respect Women

In hamlets, towns, cities, and countries where male domination is so entrenched that women do not and cannot generate enough power, social security, and determination to fight and overcome repression, women face severe challenges in their abilities to become part of a collective Sisterhood of Savior Women. some Branches of humankind are better equipped than others to accept the spiritual, vocal, and behavioral leadership of women.

Savior Women and the Men Who Can Love All Women

If Creation continue to require both male and females of our species to propagate the human race, A sisterhood of Savior Women alone will not and cannot save humanity from our Symbiotic God. If Creation continues to preserve the two sexes to perpetuate our species, men who can love women--all women--must take part in the redemption process.

The Vagina Has No Power if Men Control It

We are witness to many observations, speculations, and opinions about the powerful, captivating, and sometimes mesmerizing influence the vagina has over men. Whatever may be the cause or the apparent truth of the many observations, the fact is that millions of men enthusiastically and unapologetically pay generous sums of money in what men variously call, among other names, titty bars, strip clubs, and men's club just to look at it. But even if the vagina does have a hypnotic attraction for men, the vagina has no power over men if men control it. The Mutant Lesser Power, or whatever name... Read more →

Women Are the Key To Human survival On Earth

The survival of the human race cannot rest in the hands of men. If the human race will escape extinction, then a successful destiny for our species must rest in the hands of women. On the surface, placing the mortal fate of our race in the hands of women seemingly makes the redemption of our species even more of an impossible task, and our eventual extinction a fate we cannot avoid. With few exceptions, for most of Earth's history, men have forced women, both young and old, to serve both secondary and inferior roles to men--as inferior companions, compliant sexual... Read more →
