My apologies. I posted to you in error.
The much-ballyhooed recent poll showing 47% of republican women who won’t vote for Trump, actually shows a majority will or might vote for Trump.
Then there’s the F Chuck Todd polling showing Trump supporters are “like Reagan democrats” and they shouldn’t be angered.
Don’t have links, you can search and find.
No worries!
What’s your source, I’m not finding mention of men being sacrificed and cannibalized by Greek women.
Also try The Women's Encyclopedia of Myth and Magic (multiple authoresses). Also dead-tree, several hundred pp.
Also, metasearch on "Eleusinian Mysteries","Cybele", "Cottyto", "Maenads", "Bacchantes", "Aegis", "Great Goddess", "Midsummer's Night", "Tanist". That should start you off on the grisly realities behind the old pre-Greek "Old European" religion. Come to think of it, try googling that, too -- and "Long House Culture", see what comes up with that and see if it has a religion module.
Hotay? Let me know if your search satisfies you. Keep in mind that, beginning with the "Women's Encyclopedia", a lot of ideologically-driven damage has been done to the knowledge base in the form of revisionist overwriting on e.g. Wikipedia -- the feminazis will have been all over that and pretty much tried to plow Graves et al. six feet under.
You might also try searching under "Marija Gimbutas" .... she's a Lithuanian scholar whose dating schema has been shown to be way too high and whom her critics accused of having lost her objectivity by delving too far into the Old European (gynecocentric) religion and speculating and generally partying intellectually.
Ok, I’ve got Graves Greek Myths on my bookshelf. Looks like there’s a lot of violent imagery involving Maenids which actually is about hallucinogenic mushroom ingestion.
There was an annual fertility rite where one man was chosen by the most desirable woman in childbearing years in the tribe to be king for a year during which time it looks like it was his job to have a lot of sex. At the end of his reign he was sacrificed, his blood was sprinkled over the fields, and the priestesses cannibalized what was left. The Irish apparently picked two men per year, one for the Summer and Winter solstice.
Graves says that’s where kings come from. So does that mean that if nobody had been given special privileges, and if people had fertilized the fields by pooping on them instead, we wouldn’t have ended up with power hungry lunatics?!
One preacher I used to know said that what a woman really wants is a man to tell her what she wants! Many will scorn that statement but he had a wife who called him “Mister” and a house full of children who were very respectful toward him. I thought him a buffoon as did many others but in his own home he was treated with total respect but with no evidence that either his wife or children feared him.
All those things are the reason I have said many times that if the women of America really wanted Hillary as president she would now be a lame duck president instead of a candidate and Barack Obama would be a failed senator instead of the worst president of all time.
The reason for that is if things don't go well she can blame it all on him. It's called passive-aggressive and it is not good.
Does the word men make you uncomfortable?
Tribal warfare is the special environmental pressure that drove humans to evolve intelligence, culture, and technology far beyond basic survival needs. Differences in IQ among populations can be traced back to the amount of organized warfare they faced and defeated. Japan had a violent tribal warfare past and it largely explains who they are.
The technologies developed for surviving tribal warfare are later put to civilian use, and that's what drives increasing prosperity. No war, or preparation for war, means little improvement in prosperity later. That's just how it works.
Due to biological differences, women's survival strategies are different than men's, however your premise that women leaders result in peace in prosperity is a fantasy. Women are just as cutthroat as men. They just hide it better.
Even though we will have to kill them all, you have to admit radical muzzies had a pretty good handle on how to treat their women. /sarcasm
You are ignoring the point, though. You need both sexes working in harmony for a successful society. The Northmen were about as manly as it gets, yet, they had no problem utilizing the talents of women for running things in their absence. They didn’t lock them up, keep them idle, and expend a lot of resources keeping them that way like is done in the Middle East.
Downright pathological!
Agree! Nature works to cull the "men are pigs" crowd.
Totally agree with you.
I think that comes down to "some of the people all of the time." Different ladies are focused on different things, some of them difficult to discern, others less so.
They want communism with a smile.
“It’s easy to make too much of a survey of teenagers, who usually have little interest in anything beyond their own concerns. Their opinions are often merely whims that are as fleeting as the weather. Most of the teenagers surveyed actually had no settled opinion about the place of girls in teenage leadership.”
Well then offhand, I would say your study so much more profoundly resembles a fart in the wind rather than something anyone might get exercised about or even take seriously as a pure intellectual exercise. If I were grading your paper, I’m thinking C+, B- if I’m in a really good mood.
One thing I haven't been able to work through is the fact that the Great Goddess is somehow identified with the Funnel-Beaker/Long House culture, and the male sky-pantheon with the arriving Yamnaya/Kurgan/"Battleaxe" Culture (which was a steppe equiculture which spoke Indo-European) which, in the older recounting, came into conflict with the Goddess Culture and diplaced it (in Greece they accreted, yielding a syncretistic dog's-breakfast religion of bits and pieces and a fusion Olympic pantheon).
So the rub is, that the Yamnaya Kurgans have yielded bodies of Indo-European steppe "witches" (complete with tall, broad-brimmed, conical "witch" hats) who were priestesses .... of what? Something is wrong with this picture. What's up with powerful, high-status "witch"-priestesses in a culture that bequeathed us male sky-gods? Sum Ting Wong must be called to consult.
