Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Actually, I HAVE been speaking up, and I will continue to speak up, to those that have the nerve to listen... Ellen has made some very excellent observations on the part of women; it is a shame, that just like everywhere else, women wait for MEN to take the initiative even in the matter of their own liberation, as in this case, the observations, as usual, are being made by someone who has,however temporarily, used to be a MAN. Now HE yearns to be a SHE, and has taken drastic steps in this direction..like Attis, he has made the supreme sacrifice. Frankly, I can't understand why: it smacks of the same dynamic that leads women who have the opportunity and means to expand their horizons and those of others, to retreat into their biology, in much the same way as Britney Spears has retreated from lucrative stardom into the mundanity of marriage and babies. Aldous Huxley said "You can't get past their biology", and I have to agree with this estimate, for the most part... Women have no sisterhood like men have brotherhood. "Reality TV" knows it has only to put women together in a room, competing for a man, to obtain some really juicy footage, as the women claw each other apart! Our valuable time is taken up with obsessions over clothes and our looks, even to the extent of mutilating ourselves with plactic surgery, and poisoning the environment for miles around, just for the sake of maintaining a particular hair colour! Our children (the hope of the future, so-called) are forced to nurse at scarred, poison-loaded breasts, mutilated all for the sake of vanity alone! To top it off we are peppered with non-stop requests to "help in the fight against breast cancer!" I never contribute: how can I possibly take this request seriously when thousands upon thousands of women are going OUT of their way to load their breasts up with giant artificial tumours for no other reason than to attract men's material and sexual favours!! This is what is meant by "biological compulsion". Give me a BREAK!!! If even a fraction of the energies spent in these incredibly vain and foolish endeavours were diverted into channels of genuine spiritual accomplishment, we would see a whole new dynamic arising among humanity, like Durga/Lalita arose from the TEJAS emitted from the mouths of Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu, in order to fight the ignorant Demon that oppresses the Divine Order of things!
