Oh really. Does this sense of love also apply to feminine warriors?ForCruxSake wrote:Not letting you have it. You can't base all women's actions on the action of one particular woman. A woman so unpopular it makes you wonder whether other women would want to even be like her.thedoc wrote:I heard an account of Hillary who burst into a room where Bill was having a meeting with some of his adviser's while he was president and she started screaming at him and he just sat there quietly till she finished and left. She was vicious and violent but couldn't act on her impulses in front of witnesses. She was certainly not gentle and nurturing to her children or husband, she is a vicious war mongering bitch.ForCruxSake wrote: Well, given that a woman's nature is more usually noted as tending towards nurture and raising children, care in general, why would a matriarchal society tend towards war? I don't see the reality in what you said, especially as it was unsupported by any kind of factual evidence. It came across as said by someone who might have had more than your average man's personal experience of warrior like women....
The Tibetan community was not instituted by one woman, nor is it under the control of one woman, but is a cultural phenomenon that has occurred outside of the more mainstream cultures around it, dominated by the rule of men. It must have grown out of a collective sense of what is good for the community. The men could simply have used their brute force to over power the women and take control but they haven't because the way they live has safeguarded their community for centuries. If you read on in the article, community members have left to join the mainstream, so they are not forced to stay.
It seems like a loose culture with fewer rules than in a man's world. No one is tied to anyone, no one is chattel, but relationships flourish out of a sense of love of desire to be together however long that might last.
A scientific approach is to list the characteristics of a feminine warrior:
- The feminine warrior is also a master of passive aggression. Feminine warriors get called bitches for this.
- Why do you suppose that is? Why that word?
- Applied to philosophical discourse, a tactic of the feminine is to ask a question of someone without offering a theory, then attempt to invalidate the answer using a variety of techniques, with little or no rationality. That suffices to meet the criteria of the popular label, but it’s only a philosophy of conflict, with rationality as the opponent.
