In Response to Jimmy Carter's Saying and on Female Spiritual and physical empowerment

"The truth is that male religious leaders have had-and still have-an option to interpret holy teachings

either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly

chosen the latter.  Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the

pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world."- Jimmy Carter

My responses:

" I love this and Jimmy Carter for saying it. But the bottom line is that I do not recognize male

religious authorities as having any say in my life. If women walked alot of these men would lose alot

of their steam and womyn recognized THEIR OWN SPIRITUAL and religious authority from within..."

And in response to others commenting(facebook)

This:

"The bottom line is male dominated religions are at the very source of Female oppression. The veils, the bodily shaming, the shame around our menses which was OUR MOST POWERFUL TIME PSYCHICALLY where womyn by choice bonded together spiritually in menstrual huts...took a time out 3-5 days a month to spiritually and psychically bond and connect with Mother Earth and guide their tribes with their dreams and visions at this time was turned around to be a time of shaming and uncleanness starting with Orthodox Judaism where she couldn't even touch her husband and had to bathe in the mikveh...but the same with Native religions if a woman was bleeding she wasn't to be around men for fear of "dulling their spears"...i bet..so powerful was Female Magic during our bloods that ALL of the patriarchal religions attempt to contain that physical, spiritual and psychic Female Yoni Power by making it something nasty and dirty and not to be spoken of.

The same when a womon holds her Wise Blood inside and becomes a Crone. Crones were even more feared..Once the Tribal Elders and Wise womyn and healers were turned into useless and villainous older women who were hunted down in the Witch craze during the Dark/Middle Ages....destroying the wisdom and last remnants of our matriarchal societies and Knowing to a deep seated fear many womyn have at truly accessing our Power at the deepest of levels. You have Patriarchal mind numbing and soul and spirit stifling religions to thank for that....much less the 80 million females a year who undergo Female Genital Mutilation  in the name of male dominated religion."
