WOMAN – WHICH INCLUDES MAN, OF COURSE
WORDS ARE IMPORTANT, THEY CONTROL HOW WE THINK, MEN HAVE SAID WHICH WORDS ARE GOOD AND WHICH ARE BAD .
THERE IS MUCH CONCERN TODAY ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MAN, WHICH MEANS, OF COURSE BOTH MEN AND WOMEN – GENERIC MAN . FOR A WOMAN TO TAKE EXCEPTION TO THIS USE OF THE TERM “MAN” IS OFTEN SEEN AS DEFENSIVE HAIR-SPLITTING BY AN “EMOTIONAL FEMALE.”
THE FOLLOWING IS AN INVITATION TO AWARENESS IN WHICH YOU ARE ASKED TO STAY WITH YOUR FEELINGS THROUGH EACH STEP.
CONSIDER REVERSING THE GENERIC TERM MAN. THINK OF THE FUTURE OF WOMAN WHICH, OF COURSE, INCLUDES BOTH WOMEN AND MEN. WHEN WE USE THE GENERIC TERM WE MEAN SHE AND HE, EVEN THE WORD, WOMAN, INCLUDES THE WORD MAN AND THE WORD, SHE, INCLUDES THE WORD HE.
THINK OF IT ALWAYS BEING THAT WAY, EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE. FEEL THE EVERPRESENCE OF WOMAN AND FEEL THE NONPRESENCE OF MAN. ABSORB WHAT IT TELLS YOU ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF BEING WOMAN. -OF BEING MAN.
RECALL THAT EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER READ ALL YOUR LIFE USES ONLY FEMALE PRONOUNS. SHE, HER MEANING BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS, BOTH WOMEN AND MEN. RECALL THAT MOST OF THE VOICES ON RADIO AND FACES ON TV ARE WOMEN’S – WHEN IMPORTANT EVENTS ARE COVERED. RECALL THAT YOU HAVE NO MALE SENATOR REPRESENTING YOU IN WASHINGTON.
FEEL INTO THE FACT THAT WOMEN ARE THE LEADERS, THE POWER – CENTERS , THE PRIME MOVERS. MAN, WHOSE NATURAL ROLE IS HUSBAND AND FATHER , FULFILLS HIMSELF THROUGH NURTURING CHILDREN AND MAKING THE HOME A REFUGE FOR WOMEN. THIS IS ONLY NATURAL TO BALANCE THE BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF WOMAN WHO DEVOTES HER ENTIRE BODY TO THE RACE DURING PREGNANCY.
THEN FEEL FURTHER INTO THE OBVIOUS BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR WOMEN AS THE IDEAL – HER GENITAL CONSTRUCTION. BY DESIGN, FEMALE GENITALS ARE COMPACT AND INTERNAL, PROTECTED BY HER BODY. MALE GENITALS ARE SO EXPOSED THAT HE MUST BE PROTECTED FROM OUTSIDE ATTACK TO ASSURE THE PERPETUATION OF THE RACE. HIS VULNERABILITY CLEARLY REQUIRES SHELTERING.
THUS, BY NATURE, MALES ARE MORE PASSIVE THAN FEMALES, AND HAVE A DESIRE IN SEXUAL RELATIONS TO BE SYMBOLICALLY ENGULFED BY THE PROTECTIVE BODY OF THE WOMAN. MALES PSYCHOLOGICALLY YEARN FOR THIS PROTECTION, FULLY REALIZING THEIR MASCULINITY AT THIS TIME – FEELING EXPOSED AND VULNERABLE AT OTHER TIMES. THE MALE IS NOT FULLY ADULT UNTIL HE HAS OVERCOME HIS INFANTILE TENDENCY TO ORGASM AND HAS ACHIEVED THE MATURE SURRENDER OF THE TESTICLE ORGASM. HE THEN FEELS HIMSELF A “WHOLE MAN” WHEN ENGULFED BY THE WOMAN.
IF THE MALE DENIES THESE FEELINGS, HE IS UNCONSCIOUSLY REJECTING HIS MASCULINITY. THERAPY IS THUS INDICATED TO HELP HIM ADJUST TO HIS OWN NATURE. OF COURSE, THERAPY IS ADMINISTERED BY A WOMAN, WHO HAS THE EDUCATION AND WISDOM TO FACILITATE OPENNESS LEADING TO THE MALE’S GROWTH AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION.
TO HELP HIM FEEL INTO HIS DEFENSIVE EMOTIONALITY, HE IS INVITED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE “CHILD” IN HIM. HE REMEMBERS HIS SISTER’S JEERING AT HIS PRIMITIVE GENITALS THAT “FLOP AROUND FOOLISHLY.” SHE CAN RUN, CLIMB, AND RIDE HORSEBACK UNENCUMBERED. OBVIOUSLY, SINCE SHE IS FREE TO MOVE, SHE IS ENCOURAGED TO DEVELOP HER BODY AND MIND FOR HER ACTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF ADULT WOMANHOOD. THE MALE VULNERABILITY NEEDS FEMALE PROTECTION, SO HE IS TAUGHT THE LESS ACTIVE, CARING, VIRTUES OF HOMEMAKING.
BECAUSE OF HIS CLITORIS-ENVY, HE LEARNS TO STRAP UP HIS GENITALS,CAND LEARNS TO FEEL ASHAMED AND UNCLEAN BECAUSE OF HIS NOCTURAL EMISSIONS. INSTEAD, HE IS ENCOURAGED TO KEEP HIS BODY LEAN AND DREAM OF GETTING MARRIED, WAITING FOR THE TIME OF HIS FULFILLMENT – WHEN “HIS WOMAN” GIVES HIM A GIRL-CHILD TO CARRY ON THE FAMILY NAME. HE KNOWS THAT IF IT IS A BOY-CHILD HE HAS FAILED SOMEHOW – BUT THEY CAN TRY AGAIN.
