masculine/feminine

Part II of III triptych.

This, more than a trend. Change arising from humanity's most oppressed, this is a universal mode of redemption. Homosexuals were many of our greatest artists. LA, America. Africa. Women.

"...just as fundamentally man and woman are one, their problem must be one in essence. The soul in both is the same. The two live the same life, have the same feelings. Each is a complement of the other. The one cannot live without the other's active help.

But somehow or other man has dominated woman from ages past, and so woman has developed an inferiority complex. She has believed in the truth of man's interested teaching that she is inferior to him. But the seers among men have recognized her equal status."

Gospel spoken by Gandhi. Even with the deconstruction of gender identity, I feel it hardly arguable the fundamental dynamic between and with masculine/feminine. Everything has its place in our transits of change, in this ultimate struggle, and some are here to remind our forgetful minds of the universal nature eternally guiding us. Perhaps, the domestication of our most beloved counterparts, canine and feline, became to reiterate this woven truth in the universal fabric, this dynamic between masculine and feminine, of active and passive, of brute and persuasion, of two ones in eternal collaboration.

The oppression of her necessary to our journey. She can have multiple orgasms. If, perhaps, she began as the gender hegemony, would it not be conceivable, of no fault of her own, that woman and man would wholly succumb to the hedonism of sex? In this preoccupation where woman is boundless and man limited, less may have been achieved. Man became gender hegemony by brute physicality. While woman with her higher sensitivity and persuasion, may have hindered our transition from the physical to true spiritual embodiment.

And because of this, it may be that man became the most repressed, in the sexual act where man could not satiate the insatiable, where man was forced to maintain the facade of unwavering virility and strength. So, perhaps, man was destined to be the most tortured and repressed -- to create art, to enable transition. But, if we are to become what we are meant to be then we must meet as equals. This struggle needs us together, our mother's warm embrace.

"...who but woman, the mother of man, shows this [infinite capacity for suffering] in the largest measure? She shows it as she scarries the infant and feeds it during nine months and derives joy in the suffering involved. What can beat the suffering caused by the pangs of labour? But she forgets them in the joy of creation. Who again suffers daily so that her babe may wax from day to day? Let her transfer her love to the whole of humanity, let her forget that she ever was or can be the object of man's lust. And she will occupy her proud position by the side of man as his mother, maker and silent leader. It is given to her to teach the art of peace to the warring world thirsting for that nectar."

Gandhi.
