mansplaining. . . .again

This latest ridiculous debate over the question of man versus bear has been so blown out of proportion. It clearly depicts why and how the main point of raising the topic was so obviously missed. Pounding home all too well the reasons why misogynistic patriarchy must be stopped and ended. 

a sad sorry tale repeated far too often throughout humanity

When majority of women responded that they would choose a bear over a man in the hypothetical situation it spawned viral reactions and debates all over social media. Viewers argued over the validity of either option while strong opinions were raised regarding gender relations.

poet shamans

I am a longtime advocate and ardent fan of the female authors and poets the Brontë Sisters, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Emily Dickinson. I truly believe they were women of substance, feminists, and shamans.

Jung has written that "the psychological inference that may be drawn from shamanistic symbolism [is] that it is a projection of the individuation process" (Alchemical Studies  341).

The shaman-poet who lives in both the natural world and the supernatural world and experiences both genders is thus able to know each of these pairs of opposites intimately. (Clifton Snider, "A Druidic Difference": Emily Dickinson and Shamanism)
