BEHIND THE VEIL. Whatever a man is, a woman is BUT BEHIND A VEIL. Everything about her is veiled. To get through to her, you have to break through something, whether real or apparent, whether natured or contrived; something is standing in your way. And sadly, in hers too! It is so bad that you hear adjectives like REAL only used for Men. Such as Real Men dont cry, Real Men love Guinness, Real Men Seminar. What then are woMEN? Youll hear titles such as virtuous, homely, cultured and motherly or wifely used to characterize woMEN, but none of these suggest that the adjective REAL cannot be prefixed to these girly attributes. Hence, our very contemporary postmodern vocab brings home this silent but unmistakable truth. What is it? woMEN cannot be REAL! It is the unwritten code in the social DNA of woMEN, which says you can think like a Man, feel like a Man but cannot talk like a Man. Infact, the stereotyping is so endemic that the Man becomes a standard for how everything should be done (like a Man). What about like a woMAN? And the mischaracterization continues... A saying goes that a woMANs heart is like deep waters, you cannot see everything in it. This is supposed to be some sort of compliment to the fact that woMEN have the capacity to keep a lot hidden, but I think not. I think it is consolatory of the political correctness this veil has assumed. The deep waters analogy shouldnt be but for the veil. woMEN have been conditioned to love this veil so much, it is even a wedding fashion! Contemporary life seems committed to hardening this veil. How? Look around. All the must nots of a woMAN are programmed into our cyber sub-conscious minds. The funny thing about this veil is that it is really no veil, because we all see it and love it! We simply say, She is just being a woMAN. It seems forbidden and incomprehensible that the woMAN and her Veil should be parted. She is her veil, her veil is her. This is, to my mind, a sad Identity colouring. A mixture of Coke and Fanta is not a New Identity, it is a new Complexity, because each had its original identity. Hence, we say woMEN are complex!!! Are they? Or we simply confused them? I think the latter. What then do we do? Tear the Veil quickly and radically? No. If you do, what youd get is, of course, not an Identity, not a Complexity but a COMPLICATION! Its called FEMINISM. This is because in the process of trying to yank out the entire Veil, you also lose the woMAN. Dont forget they are radically intertwined, right from infancy. This is the root-cause of Contemporary Feminism. The proponents are yanking out the Veil, but society is losing woMANhood. woMEN are MEN with a womb. In other words, they have capacity and potentials to think, feel, desire, hunt, compete, lead, imagine, aspire etc. NOT LIKE A MAN, BUT LIKE A WOMAN! Because no one says those tendencies are the exclusive preserve of Men. Only the Veil did. Her biology is not for restriction, its for function- Procreation. A woMAN who later submits herself to her Man does not lose herself, but actually mindful of her powers, relinquishes them. It is therefore not out of place to say to a woMAN: Be A Man!. Being a gentleman is still being a Man, but being a lady is covertly wearing the Veil. And thats why I love Lawyers, because even their woMEN are called gentlemen of the bar. It started from infancy, we must begin from infancy. Teach them to live in a Mans world because that is all there is- MAN, with or without a womb. #truthisscarierthanreality. Selah
