If women want so much power why do so many still want (and expect) men to support them? FT

Men, Women and Power..... >>I am sure that IS why. Where men hold the majority of the power women will be treated as sexual objects almost exclusively. I don't happen to think societies like that offer much. I don't see a lot of people rushing to emigrate to places like that. In fact- I see that where women are given more power, the societies are better. Coincidence? I think not.>> Forget about "power" that's relative. Relative to what? Money, jobs, access, influence, etc. We need more people to embrace the power they all have inside themselves: the power to love. The more we move away from this power the more we will continually be trying to find solutions to problems that only lead to more problems. Every class in society that felt disenfranchised has had to overcome labels and definitions which others created for them. To the degree to which we base our value on how others perceive us is the degree to which we separate ourselves from how we internally value and love ourselves. (Note, this is my opinion. Like it, leave it, spit on it, whatever.) Worse, the examples we set for others relating to "value" and "truth" get cynically twisted. Kids who see mom's and dad's "valuing" their 80 hour work weeks over them will react in kind. Sure there's relative "power" gained, but we end up moving away from core values. This seems to have been what's happened over the past 30-40 years. I think it's a bunch of crock. There should be no separation in our lives between work, play, family, leisure. We create these divisions and fragmentations and we can bring things back together. Peace. .
