Together, Not Gender Against Gender




"I think that Shakespeare had his male side and his female side 
extremely well developed.  And this was a great quality of the
Elizabethan, all-around Renaissance man.  They were not afraid
of their male side and their female side co-existing."
Ben Kingsley

The Renaissance man co-existed with both his feminine and masculine side.  The right side is the masculine side and the left side is the feminine side.  Ideally, each of us learn to navigate from either side or through the combination of both sides.  The goal is to be whole.

For too long, women have been associated with a limited domestic role projected by men.  Women warriors have been moving forefront for generations and they have finally arrived.  Positioning themselves as equal to men will shift our current structure.  Women are more assertive while men have more freedom in creating their feminine qualities ... in the arts, emotionally, or the sense of being whole.

If women embrace personal masculine and feminine sides and men accept personal female and male sides, we will be equal or whole.  It is vitally important that women simply don't overrun the men just to switch places of power.  To unite we work together side by side not gender against gender.
