I copied this from post 2 in God's Wife. quote:
ORIGINAL: Aneirin It most certainly is an interesting concept, and if there is any truth in it, then it would make this religion more acceptable to many as it does not seek to alienate an important aspect of mankind, the other half. But, the suppression of the female kind goes much further than simply the bible, for it is known that each and everyone of us possess both male and female characteristics, but in a male centred society such traits that could be female are suppressed there leading to confusion and the inevitable problems that causes for the self and possibly those others around. Men are not allowed to be passive, not allowed to be gentle, not allowed to cry, why the hell not, if it is natural, why suppress natural urges, or put another way, why suppress that which whatever god you support made you, do you, or does your society know better than god. Suppression is the ill of mankind, other peoples values moulding and governing our own. But if Asherah comes back, maybe then the ills of the past might be challenged and put right. At one time I would have been more intrigued by this, but I know something I cannot tell you and even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. I feel sorry for you people because you don't know the truth. You don't want to know the truth. I can buy "in a male centred society such traits that could be female are suppressed" like men being unable to communicate how men are abused, however. That makes sense to me, but the real problem isn't suppression of the feminine, it is suppression of compassion.
