Speaking of gender beliefs...

We all have them, but some are less liberating than others. I find it interesting that the woman's movement began by focusing on what men did wrong. As women, we have been indoctrinated to always look at others before self. We're rewarded for playing with dolls and taking care of their needs. We're told we are "good girls" if we do things for others, even to the point of denying our own dreams and desires. The religious institutions all over the globe claim we are somehow only put on this earth to propagate humanity and it's our holy role to be good mothers and care-takers for all dependent people whether it is children, the sick, or the elderly. That that's not men's role. That is uniquely a female role. What this does is take our attention away from self and instead of becoming forces of social change by using our feminine energy to address social issues, we become mired in petty roles that sometimes hold no intrinsic value for us. All giving and receiving should come from the heart and not the social expectation, otherwise, it limits our sense of self and our ability to self-develop and progress. And oftentimes, we are made to believe that is in our benefit! There are ways to stay self-focused and be giving when it aligns with our own sense of being. To enforce a role of martyrdom and victimhood on all of the female gender goes beyond holiness, it's pure brain-washing. And often, it is the women themselves who are indoctrinated that are most vocal defendents of this belief system.

So, as a humorous look at just one of the destructive belief systems that women have aligned with in our own gender, I wrote another blog in response to a challenge by a man named Deorre. He asked us to take any subject and write a conspiracy theory on it. I chose: Women's Holy Mission To Serve Humanity. I got a lot of feedback on this blog as many women saw themselves in it and many men breathed a sigh of relief. Someone had to say it.
