The Importance of Woman’s Culture and Community

I hear several common themes from women; we are dis-empowered, confused and angry, feeling tapped of vital juice and female energy; feeling as if we are responsible for ‘everything’ and given credit for nothing. But most of all it seems we women are starving. I have heard a strong theme of starvation from so many woman, whether in or out of intimate partnership – in fact, it is possible that the starvation is most fierce for women who are coupled, because the feelings of loneliness and starvation are so discordant with what we are told we ought to be feeling in our couplings.  There is much work to be done in reclaiming the language and infinitely varied flavors of the authentic feminine principle. And our modern culture, with its double standards and double-speak does great harm in confounding even our ability to know what to ask for. The first and most important step is reuniting each woman with a community of her own gender. Women must spend deep intimate time with other women. The restoration of vibrant, fierce communities of women across the globe would eradicate much of the world’s injustice almost overnight.
