I really do not care what males have to say, this question is not directed at them.

Maybe you should do because, in some ways at least, men might know more about other men than do women. ;-)

OK, to be serious:

I'd draw from arguablythat most 'spiritual' of western psychoanalytical thinkers, CG Jung, on this. His view was that a man's 'anima' - his internal female ideal (in one sense) always informs the way he sees women, but shouldn't be allowed to control it entirely. If it did, the result is calamity.

Jung always borrowed from myths and legends as his 'evidence' of enduring dynamics in the psyche. He figured - I think plausibly - that a myth or legend couldn't have acquired that status *unless* it 'spoke of' such enduring dynamics. That accepted, the myths and legends that explore the theme of a man being led to his death by a non human female figure are many. Circe, for instance, turns Odysseus's crew into pigs; the sirens, luring sailors to their deaths at sea; any number of femme fatales. These sorts of myths and legends occur throughout history and across the world.

A given flesh-and-blood woman is not a man's anima, though. It can harm him if he lets his anima have too much power over him. It can also harm a given woman on whom it is projected too much. Marilyn Monroe was an example: a figure of adoration on the outside, but rotting on the inside perhaps because no one - including her - cared enough about what was on the inside.

Now that you have enlightened us, maybe you could do with a bit of enlightenment. I see this a bit like those church people that love to harass you at your door early mornings on weekends, that bring their children to see whatever might take place. They force their door knocking, waking everyone up religious perception upon us.

Some men may be serious about this and hold firmly to their beliefs often insulting anyone that doesn't agree. Some play at it and will also try to force it upon others. They come to our email and tell us how it really ought to be. The goddesses come and they tell us how it ought to be and teach the men how amazing they are and believe me, I see nothing different about these women than many of the other religious pounding out some sinful flesh, to benefit selfish greed and self importance. You can call it religious belief and freedom if you want, but I am childlike if I don't believe, don't want to be forced into listening to it and told I am lacking and when I respond to how ridiculous I think it is... bad... bad human!

Men use many ways of objectifying women and that is the typical around here and this is just one way they do so. The superior female... the goddess... and their followers... knocking at my door, pushing their agenda and they are so spiritual that damn... a little cock play when goddess is in the mood to play with the lowly beings... is very welcome.

If you wish to present a religious view, knowing where you are, you might present it in more than a paragraph so that those of us stalked by goddess hunters, that fail to read profiles, will respond differently. Show us you are serious. Don't just expect us to get it, believe it or cater to it. Even Christians have a scripture about casting pearls before swine. If you look at us as swine... so be it... even as childish... so be it... but you can't come in with a paragraph and expect those that have watched the abuse of some beliefs to take you seriously.

As for not caring what males say... you cannot force your belief on a forum, you can surely respond, but so can they and some of us, like them. Cast us as whatever you want, but that high and mighty... I just want to practice my belief and these people don't get it... then have to point out how you aren't getting it, doesn't fly when you have failed to present yourself effectively. We are tired of people forcing their ill used belief, for the most part, down our throats.

Presentation and timing... can be real important.

I asked a simple question, period. Very clearly, you do not subscribe to this way of believing and that is fine. This is a sensitive topic with religious implications that many cannot understand. Review my profile, it has a link that is very informative, I am not here to make people upset or have people dislike me, I just wanted to get a perspective. I respect your thoughts.

I, for one, won't dislike you.

Doing a search here for goddess led me to many goddesses and not one of them spiritual. Do a search and you will see what we typically see, thus the responses you have gotten on this thread. It isn't something that many of us take seriously. Then goddess seekers, force their view and most often make it a fetish. All fine, except when they push it. Just like the guys pushing to tribute when we don't want it. It doesn't matter how we discourage it, it keeps on coming. So that may be where many of us have been coming from and is surely where I have come from.

Even the goddesses don't take being a goddess the same way you do. Not around here and for the most part from what I have seen and found in my search. So if they don't get it, how can you expect us to without your explaining where you are coming from and that it is different for you?

Learning experience for us all on this thread? Maybe... but your taking it spiritually and saying so wasn't seen the same way we have seen it manifested around us here and hopefully you can see that. Some could think a good orgasm spiritual... worship... spiritual... but still more a fetish for most.

Dear miss.

You walk around waving a lightning rod and then complain...

I do happen to believe in a Male and Female "God", if you will. I am spiritual and I just believe in a healthy balance. I don't believe in Female Supremacy, which I gather is what this thread is really about. There have been Goddess worship cultures. But that's more along the lines of Paganism/Wicca. Not so much a fantasy world where a "Goddess" is worshipped sexually. I don't believe only certain people represent the "Divine". For God/dess is in all of us. That's just my opinion, nothing more.
