On Here is my $.02. Do we really need more divisiveness in a world that already suffers so much from it?
IMHO the patriarchal society we live in causes us many terrible problems that may cause great distress in the near future (Global warming, biological warfare etc..). But it seems to me that, at least in our culture, there is an agreement between men and women to live this way. I see plenty of women as well as men driving around there gasoline hogging SUV's. What about the exhorbanent(sp) amount of money and time women spend on their vanity. Many of the men I know sit around watch the war on Iraq as if it were a football game (as children are being wounded). Goddess/God knows we need to evolve as a species and quick.
Of all the professional that I went to for help to solve the hormonal unbalance (woman's problem) that was ripping apart my psyche and my life, It was a man (spiritual healer) who guided me into healing and still does.
But then there were plenty of arrogant male doctors along the way that were amazing jerks and made my life worse. But there was a female psychiatrist that put me on medication that made me comatose for a month and probably took me years to heal from. It was my male friend who taught how to release emotional distress and to respect my feelings. It was my female yoga teacher who taught me to see joy again. She is also one of the most powerful people in the community (women and men).
How can we segregate so much between men and women, considering that we all contain both energies male and female?
Women and men both need to say no to the dominating Patriarchy that is destroying life on this planet and yes to a world where both energies are equally respected.

And BTW, menstruation isn't something from which one can "heal." Altho' I think the best "healing" will occur for women when we
return to a female Goddess-based rather than a male God-based society -- not in my lifetime!
So until that time, women will put up with men like you and Belldiddly
telling us to "tune our engines," use the proper fuel and "use" our bodies wisely. HA!!
Amen, sister! :0) Shelle
