PHILOGYNY: The Adoration, Affirmation and Appreciation of Woman

Philogynism refers to a philosophy, an attitude and a lifestyle profoundly influenced by an intense, genuine veneration of women and all concerning women. Philo, refers to the Greek word for love, while gyne refers to Greek word for woman. Philogyny therefore, can be defined as the love of Woman.
Philogynism is not a political action committee; it cares not which party prevails in any particular election. The philogynist will vote for candidates that prove that they understand and are committed to improve the plight of women in this world. Philogynism is an alternative, to egalitarianism and feminism, in the honorable cause of combating the disrespect and abuse of women, in the misogynist world in which we live. Misogynism is the disgust and repression of all considered feminine.
Philogynism does not seek to compete or replace any religion, most especially Christianity. The philogynist does choose to view women as, Adam first viewed Eve, as bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, a beautiful gift from God to be adored, affirmed and appreciated by him. In Contrast, the misogynist views women as the corrupt force that caused Adam’s and other men’s downfall.
A woman’s body is divinely sculpted, every wondrous part lovingly designed and bestowed unto her, by her creator. God with his divine word fashioned her lovely face, enchanting eyes and her sweet lips. His divine word also planted the delightful garden which is her splendidly formed body. In love and a pure spirit God sculpted her lovely bosom, beautifully adorned with blossoms of love. Her divine creator designed and bestowed the very flower of her womanhood unto her.
The philogynist acknowledges a woman’s body is the beautiful home of a most precious heart and soul, so he considers no part of her body offensive or obscene. He is delighted by the splendor expressed in every aspect of her gloriously formed body and appreciates the artistry of her creator. The true beauty of a woman body is that is maintains and allows her precious heart and soul to live and add love to this world.
For the philogynist, the wondrous vision of a woman unveiled, whether in body, heart or soul represents naturalness, unpretentiousness and ingenuousness. When unveiled, she allows herself to be vulnerable, therefore demonstrates that she trusts him with intimate knowledge of her true self. She is as she should be, free from tyranny of social opinion. In the presence of a philogynist his consummate adoration, affirmation and appreciation are the only veils she needs to hide her supposed imperfections.
A woman, whether fully attired or garmentless, whether she is a Sunday school teacher or an exotic dancer, deserves complete reverence. There nothing exceptional about them who shows respect toward a fully attired Sunday school teacher, however the people who choose to bestow unto exotic dancers’ who are garmentless, their consummate reverence, are truly extraordinary. The philogynist, acknowledges if one cannot grant an exotic dancer one’s consummate reverence, one cannot truly revere any other woman including the Sunday school teacher.
The presence or style of garments in not a reliable indicator of a woman’s virtue, nor should it determine her worthiness to receive well-treatment. Garments by design, obscure rather than reveal, fabricate a fantasy, rather than express intimate knowledge of a woman’s true self. One who exhibits outrageous behavior toward a woman, on the basis of her attire, has judged her based on an untruth.
The Garments that enshroud her wondrous body do not define a woman’s virtue and respectability, but they are by a glorious treasure, her heart and soul. If one has not made the effort of learning intimate knowledge concerning a woman’s heart and soul, one is unworthy to make a judgement as to her virtue or respectability. It is wise to view a woman as virtuous and respectable regardless of her attire.
A woman is ultimately responsible, therefore possesses sovereignty regarding her own body and sexuality. The philogynist acknowledges that for a woman, the consequences of her sexual choices are much greater for her, than for him. Her Creator, therefore bestowed unto her sovereignty to choose with whom, under what circumstances, and to what extent she will share the wonders and pleasures of her beautiful body.
The philogynist receives and appreciates the glorious gift of sexual intimacy with a woman as an honor and privilege. He concedes that if sexual intimacy occurs between himself and a woman, it is because he successfully conveyed to her, that he is worthy of her. Truly, if a man has not proved himself a worthy lover of her heart and soul, he is not worthy of the honor of being the lover of her wondrous body.
A woman’s passion, sensuality and affection are to be considered cherished treasures when joyfully, freely bestowed unto a worthy companion. The philogynist considers few gifts a woman may bestow unto him, more treasured than to deem him, worthy of accompanying her, on her journey toward sexual ecstasy. Truly, a lover worthy of a woman’s passion, sensuality and affection is one who cherishes her and treats her with consummate, adoration, affirmation and appreciation.
A woman is ultimately responsible, therefore possesses authority regarding her own life and lifestyle. Her Creator, bestowed unto her, her life, her talents, her dreams to pursue, the sovereignty to choose how to utilize these divine gifts. She alone will be accountable to her Creator for the manner in which she utilized these gifts and the choices she made.
The philogynist recognizes that he is privileged to enjoy and find delight in being a part of her life as a friend or lover. While a woman may require a companion during the quest, not everyone is worthy of accompanying her on her life’s journey. Only one who has committed oneself to affirm, appreciate and champion her as she pursues her goal is worthy of such an honor and privilege.
Truly, in a man cannot trust a woman’s choices concerning her own life, he cannot acknowledge and appreciate her intelligence and character. Surely, she will make wrong choices and she will endure the consequences of these choices, but her companion’s role is to cherish and reaffirm her. Truly, if a woman is not allowed to make wrong choices, she will never gain the experience necessary to make the great choices that will bring her success and fulfillment.
A woman’s femininity deserving consummate reverence, must never be referred to in language that defames or degrades women. Our Creator, created women as beautiful, cherish-able gifts to bring love into the world. One show utter disrespect to our Creator when one insult or degrade with our words the woman who’s presence one is so privileged to have been bestowed.
The philogynist is profoundly offended when men attempt to ridicule or humiliate another by insinuating that he exhibits feminine qualities. A popular and disgusting tactic is used by misogynous men to motivate certain behavior from another call him a woman, girl or equate him to a woman’s vulva. The vile gynophobia this instills, is responsible for the rise in the abuse of women.
Every aspect of a woman’s anatomy is beautiful, cherish-able and worthy of words of veneration, not degradation. While no part of a woman’s divinely designed body is offensive or obscene, the words often used by misogynist men are crude, very offensive and conjure up vile images. The philogynist on the other hand prefers words the conjure up beautiful, sweet images, such as the flower of your womanhood or blossoms of love. He understands how important it is to make love to her heart and soul with sweet, tender words of veneration.
The woman a man is blessed to have and enjoy in his life, should be cherished and treated with adoration, affirmation and appreciation. Each day with tender, loving words of praise; a worthy companion bathes his cherished woman with adoration washing away the shame and degradation the world heaps upon her. He dresses her with his gentle words of affirmation and lets her know he appreciates that she has chosen to allow him to share her life’s journey.
The philogynist concedes that the time he has to enjoy and get to know and appreciate a woman is finite and may be fleeting. He knows that he has only so many days to spend with his cherished woman and each day may be the last they share. Today and memories of love already expressed and shared, are all a woman and her worthy companion truly posses.
If a man cannot cherish the attention and affection a woman joyfully, freely offers him, he is not worthy of the privilege of being her companion or lover. No woman’s heart has ever been truly won as the result of a battle of wills. Her heart can only be truly won if she perceives that her suitor will respect and appreciate what she freely offers him. Only a woman herself can decide who is worthy of the honor and privilege of being her companion or lover.
A woman and womanhood, being the embodiment of all that beautiful and precious about God’s glorious creation, must be affirmed and justified. She deserves to be affirmed and justified by the man she gives the honor and privilege to share her life. The philogynist must confront the depreciation that society may inflict upon her and her gender in its ignorance and bigotry so that he causes her to feel appreciated rather that depreciated.
The philogynist is prepared to champion his cherished woman from the darkness of the world, especially the darkness that may dwell even in his own soul. In a world where misogyny runs rampant, women are being used, abused and killed each day. Its no wonder many women are attracted to strong, aggressive brutes whom they feel can protect them, but who will protect her if her “protector” turns on her?
A man’s ultimate duty to a woman is that of protector and gentleman. It is not enough for a woman’s companion to be willing to fight for and maybe lose his life for his beloved sake, he must also protect her from himself. A woman deserves a companion who will be gentle man with her who does not use verbal or physical abuse to impose his will on her.
