"Man is the hunter, woman is his game.
" It is certainly worth thinking about but as with most things there are two sides to the story of women's repression. Men today are expected to live in two worlds, each extremely demanding. The world of work involving the need for success, domination and competition and the domestic world of love, responsibility and peaceful co-existence. Society still deems that men shall put women in a domestic role and should not consider ambitions or contributions outside the home as being serious, but more and more individuals realise that women hold an equal right to control their own destiny and to choose the home or a career. I am not for a moment advocating that women's liberation movements are correct in their view of the situation or in their attacks on the male and their attempts to turn women into 'six gun toting tough guys'. Most women do not want to take on the responsibilities of the male role in society. They have an equally strenuous task carrying out their role as women whether this is as mothers or in careers where they are called upon to exploit ever feminine quality. Men look on their career as an obligation and as the means of obtaining the money they must have to uphold their 'manliness'. Some men also find it desirable or necessary to use their work as a retreat from the pressures of home and society. A man's role is tougher, riskier and often more unpleasant than that set aside for women. Young men are encouraged to be rough and tough by praise and rewarded for 'manly' behaviour. The general behaviour of boys is genetically different from that of girls but society feels the need to further reinforce this 'maleness'. Primitive societies have male initiation rites and so do we today. Boys are excited by myths about the male adult world. The life of a tough assertive male adult is made out to be glamorous and worthwhile. The glamour is unreal but is linked to the risk of failure, aggression and competition that the adult male is faced with. Women's liberationists object to this characterisation because they are excluded from it. The true feminine women just doesn't want any part of it; and can in fact rationally fear the unreal aspect of men trying to live up to stereo-type disciplines. Women Are Special Too Women have special and unique abilities and qualities which should be recognised and given equal value and esteem. Equality across the board is unreal and undesirable. It can only be concluded that men and women are different but nonetheless equal. Each with their strengths and weaknesses. It is more important and constructive for men to consider the virtues and 'equality as human beings' of the female than to become involved in emotional debate on the merits or otherwise of women's equality in work and play. Love requires respect and consideration and the fact that one's partner is male or female does not provide an excuse for poor performance when it comes to loving. Women - A Vision Of Loveliness Women today are less shocked by the male use of obscenities but most do not like it. It is clear the extent to which these obscenities consciously or unconsciously serve as a means of putting down or degrading women in men's eyes. Can we blame the men? Wherever we look women are displayed as sexual objects. In every form of advertising women's sexuality is exploited never accepting the woman as an equally important human being. Glossy magazines have always shown women as objects of sexual fantasy. Today the only thing that has changed is the amount of bare flesh portrayed. Men are able to look at women they know as people; as their mother, lover, wife or sister. They look at all other women and don't see them as people but as visual experiences because this is what society expects of them. Men commenting on the physical attributes of a passing woman to their mates are often compensating for their general insecurity with women by demonstrating their sexual prowess. Alone with a woman, these men show very different colours and are often awkward and embarrassed, unable to relate to the person in the woman. This is hardly surprising considering that they are torn between the sexual object of their fantasies and the human being with whom they are confronted. Communes practising nudity and some nudist colonies are able to overcome this problem to a large extent. Little sexual interest is aroused between members as the mystery and curiosity which leads to mental undressing of females by males is gone and an intimate, casual atmosphere of communion and touching is more conducive to acceptance of one another as equals; just people, warts and all. But We Are All Humans Some blame men for their 'chauvinistic' attitude towards women and others point to the leaders of the women's liberation movement as the epitome of 'women with hang-ups'. The important point in all this is that we are all conditioned in various ways by society, and the lessons society has to teach us have little to do with real loving. Forget what others tell you.
