It is why Hillary scare me. Not a nice person by any definition of the term nice.<br /><br />As IAC states it is not much of an accomplishment to get laid as a woman. Though I would disagree that they have to be reasonably good looking. I have met too many guys who would have sex with a snake, a metaphor, if it stayed still for a long enough period.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-26743353549040274552016-06-05T05:10:29.647-07:002016-06-05T05:10:29.647-07:00A woman does not have to try to get laid, assuming...A woman does not have to try to get laid, assuming she is barely good looking and indiscriminate in her choices. This is not an impressive accomplishment, and far less challenging than being an umbrella salesman in a rainstorm.

So religion has a deeper imagination of things invisible to consider.<br /><br />E.F. Schumacher talks about this in his book "A guide for the perplexed."<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Guide_for_the_Perplexed<br /><br />He claims all religions express a vertical dimension for the universe, expressed in the chain of being from mineral, plant, animal, and human, each step moving further from passive to active, and he says only humans have "free will" because we can observe ourselves objectively as well as subjectively, and redirect our actions away from those which we discover is no longer serve for us. <br /><br />So having the will to say "no" to something that offers only short term gratification, and doing so not out of self-punishment, but for a greater purpose is what makes us human, and religious symbolic language can help in this process of seeing forms beyond what our physical senses can experience.<br /><br />As Wikipedia says: Schumacher argues that appreciating the different levels of being provides a simple but clear morality. The traditional view, as Schumacher says, has always been that the proper goal of humanity is "...to move higher, to develop one's highest faculties, to gain knowledge of the higher and highest things, and, if possible, to 'see God'. If one moves lower, develops only one's lower faculties, which we share with the animals, then one makes oneself deeply unhappy, even to the point of despair." This is a view, Schumacher says, which is shared by all the major religions. Many things, Schumacher says, while true at a lower level, become absurd at a higher level, and vice versa."<br /><br />It is interesting to consider the evolution of life moves from most passive to most active, and then experience may give us the power to move back into a state where action is not needed to learn. Passions follow positive feedbacks that overshoot good sense, while moderating passions is how we feel mastery over ourselves. That's a better feeling than being able to control or seduce someone else.<br /><br />And practices like abstinence, abstinence from any compulsion, even food like in short term fasting, allows us to step above the lowest bodily impulses. Abstinence is actually the easiest discipline because you're taking away a choice.<br /><br />And back to the start:<br />Stuart: Her therapy—if you want to call it that—made her feel like she was a man—detached and emotionless about sex. To her mind, and to the popular mind in general, being a liberated woman means behaving like you are a man.<br /><br />My problem with such reductive conclusions is that it is pretending only men are active and only women are passive, and relationships can only exist by a dominator-dominated divide, lowering women to the status of plants or animals, and calling them masculine for reaching for the active role.<br /><br />Liberation shouldn't mean being ONE THING, but it means you know how to experience both sides of life - as director and receptor, and find something of yourself in both, whatever your biological gender. Religion can teach this, even where biology divides us.<br /><br />Perhaps being "one thing", following a 100 million year old evolutionary sexual divide, is enough if sex is just about reproduction, and then you only need a dozen sexual encounters over a lifetime at all to successfully be fruitful and multiply. <br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
