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.

Namasté

Namasté is a common spoken greeting or salutation in the Indian subcontinent. Namaskar is considered a slightly more formal version than Namaste but both express deep respect. It is commonly used in India and Nepal by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists, and many continue to use this outside the Indian subcontinent. In Indian and Nepali culture, the word is spoken at the beginning of written or verbal communication. However, the same hands folded gesture is made wordlessly upon departure. In yoga, namaste is said to mean ” I am your humble servant” which you say to your instructor.
Taken literally, it means “I bow to you”. The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and (te): “to you”.
When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. The gesture can also be performed wordlessly and carry the same meaning.

Obama ramps up search for a running mate

Barack Obama ramped up his search for a running mate on Monday, consulting with one congressional ally by phone and dispatching members of his vice presidential vetting team to the Capitol for meetings. Sen. Dick Durbin said he had spoken with Obama, his fellow Illinois senator.

Jim Johnson and Eric Holder, who comprise two-thirds of the group Obama has asked to help guide his search, met separately with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Reps. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Rahm Emanuel of Illinois.

Obama's campaign announced last week that he has asked Johnson, Holder and Caroline Kennedy to help guide the search.

None of the congressional leaders involved in the meetings have figured in speculation about a possible running mate, suggesting that the day's conversations were designed to seek advice. Durbin and Emanuel are barred from being on the ticket because the Constitution requires that the presidential and vice presidential candidates be from different states.

Johnson himself became a subject of campaign controversy during the day after a weekend report in The Wall Street Journal that he had received loans from Countrywide Financial Corp. with the help of the firm's chief executive, Angelo Mozilo.

Obama's campaign suggested its surrogates call the story "overblown and irrelevant."

But Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee-in-waiting, jumped in quickly.

"There is nothing 'overblown and irrelevant' about millions of Americans facing foreclosure and Barack Obama entrusting his most important decision as a presidential candidate to a man who has accepted millions in special loans from a subprime mortgage lender," said Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for the Republican presidential contender.

The selection of a running mate is a top priority for both Obama and McCain.

McCain stirred interest when he held a Memorial Day weekend barbecue at his Arizona home and invited three potential running mates, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and their wives.

Obama has fielded numerous questions in recent days about perhaps offering Hillary Rodham Clinton a spot on his ticket. The former first lady suspended her own presidential campaign on Saturday and issued a strong endorsement for the man who edged her out in a marathon race for the nomination.

Think you pay a lot for gas?

CNN reported this morning that the American Automobile Association's national gas price average has reached $4 a gallon for the first time in history.

Gasoline prices in the United States, which have recently hit record highs, are actually much lower than in many countries. Drivers in some European cities, like Amsterdam and Oslo, are paying nearly 3 times more than those in the U.S.

The main factor in price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc.

In a few Latin America and Middle-East nations, such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, oil is produced by a government-owned company and local gasoline prices are kept low as a benefit to the nation's citizens, he said. All prices updated June, 2008.

Friend --

Hillary Clinton announced her support for our campaign today.

Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans.

Our party and our country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and I'm a better candidate for having had the privilege of competing with her.

Senator Clinton will be invaluable to our efforts to win in November, and I look forward to campaigning alongside her to bring this country the change it so desperately needs.

Hillary and her supporters are joining us at an urgent moment.

It's going to require a new level of commitment from every single one of us to build a national campaign in the general election.

And we're going win this election the right way -- by growing our grassroots network of ordinary people giving only what they can afford.

Will you help by making your first donation today?

If you give right now, a previous donor has agreed to match your gift, doubling its impact. Help us reach our goal of 20,000 new donors by making a matching donation today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/match

It's time for all of us to come together to take on John McCain in the general election. John McCain offers another four years of George Bush's policies, which our country simply cannot afford.

To win, we must continue building an unprecedented organization in all 50 states. And that will only happen if we all work together, side-by-side.

Thank you for joining this movement and supporting a new kind of politics.

Together we can do more than just win an election. Together we can change this country, and we can change the world.

And we are honored to have Hillary Clinton at our side as we do it.

Spiritual Significance of Matriarchy

The Lunar Bull
Spiritual Significance of Matriarchy
by Pierre F. Walter

The book summarizes research of Joseph Campbell on equality between male and female and the Goddess cult that preceded our dominator religions. The research clearly shows that early matriarchy was fostering peace and respect of nature.





http://en.ipublica.com/The_Lunar_Bull/PFW_The_Lunar_Bull.pdf



The Lunar Bull is a study in which I show that the present historical or psychohistorical debate about the dichotomy of matriarchy-patriarchy may be of interest for historians and psychohistorians, but has little or no meaning for the truth seeker or the one who inquires into the individual and collective unconscious, or superconsciousness.

On that level, my study demonstrates, the historical transition from matriarchy to patriarchy has not taken place. In the contrary, it appears that the intrinsic symbolism of the soul level, the content of the unconscious, the level of spiritual visions is one of the matriarchal gods and cosmic energy holders, such as the mythic or lunar bull, and the serpent.

I have spoken in this study not only from my own intellectual and intuitive mind and knowledge, but cited abundantly from sources such as Carl Gustav Jung, Joseph Campbell, and researchers on shamanism and entheogens such as Ralph Metzner, as well as reports of personal experiences with matriarchal gods and goddesses manifesting through the intake of entheogens such as Ayahuasca.
As I point out largely in this study, all this is not just mythology. The impact and vibration of our soul values permeates all living and is influencing our decisions and our policies more than any reductionist Cartesian concepts, such as moralism, child protection or the present international pursuits to fight pedophilia that render us conscious of a growing narcissism that today affects not only individuals and political leaders, but whole nations.

What we can learn from studying mythology, as this study shows, is to find solutions that are viable and durable because they are integrated in the landscape of soul, and our collective unconscious, and not just green table solutions that may appeal to our rational mind.

The present wars against perversity, pedophilia, or illegal plants like psychedelics or Hemp (Cannabis), which was a healing plant for thousands of years, will not last as they are not built on soul, but on very shallow agendas and political and social corruption. The modern-day ideas are motivated in the first place not by a true concern for childhood or public welfare, but a strong concern for enriching an oligarchy of power-holders who just created a few more instruments for worldwide dominion and control.

What Is Female Domination and Female Superiority?

What Is Female Domination and Female Superiority?
By Elise Sutton
http://www.femalesuperiority.com/

So what is Female Domination? The entire term seems to be a contradiction to our male dominated society. Female Domination did not originate from dominant women or feminists. It was men who coined the phrase Female Domination to categorize their sexual and social desires to submit themselves to the female gender.

My curiosity in Female Domination has developed into twenty plus years of studying and practicing Female Domination. I have learned much about the subjects of Female Domination and male submissive desires. When it comes to these subjects, I feel that I am a bit of an expert based on my years of study, observation and participation. I have learned that there are reasons why men have submissive desires toward women. A person's core nature expresses itself in the sexual realm through different sexual desires. To the novice, a man that desires to be on the bottom during intercourse is normal but a man who desires to be spanked or whipped by a woman is perverted. However, I have come to understand that both of these fore mentioned desires stem from the same core desire. That desire is to be sexually dominated by a woman. It is expressed differently but it is the same deep-rooted motivation. Not only that, but this deep-rooted nature is evolving and the man that desires to be on the bottom during intercourse today may very well develop a desire to be spanked or whipped by a woman tomorrow.

Once I learned about the natures of both men and women and once I learned about the natural dominance and supremacy of women over men, it became the key to unlocking and understanding all submissive desires within men. It matters not how these desires are expressed through different fantasies. The root and the core of these are all the same. Namely, the desire of the male gender is to be dominated and ruled by the female gender. Therefore, no expression of this submissive nature surprises me or shocks me. I have heard it all from my male clients and I have seen it all through my own participation in the Female Domination lifestyle.

Men desire corporal punishment, forced feminization, humiliation, strap-on play (being the receiver of a woman's rubber phallus), water sports (such as forced enemas or golden showers), and other D&S (Domination and Submission) activities. Men want to worship the female by tending to her physical and sexual needs (body worship) and men want to be made into a domesticated servant to their wives. But the common thread to all these sexual and submissive desires is the longing for loving female authority. To me, that is the true definition of Female Domination. Female Domination is Loving Female Authority. That is what most men want and need. All these specific fetishes or desires are the outward expressions of a man's need for loving female authority.

Terms like Female Domination, Female Supremacy, and Female Superiority were all coined by men, as they tried to explain their desires toward the female gender. So women are wise to capitalize by using those same terms (thus the reason for the title of my web site).

Words are merely verbal pictures. The right signal sent to the male mind will conjure up the programming that has gone into his subconscious since he was a child. Men create the majority of FemDom art, pictures and images to express how powerful women are in their eyes and how weak they feel in a woman's presence. These images represent what men are feeling inside. The poet and the song writer use words and the artist uses pictures to express their inner feelings. So when a woman becomes that image by donning a fetish outfit or saying a term or using her voice in a certain manner, she touches the male submissive nature and triggers his feelings and desires, thus he becomes weak and helpless. Then the woman can interact with the man with all barriers and defense mechanisms down. Now she is free to interact with the man in a more meaningful way. Now true intimacy and bonding can take place between the woman and the man because she now can see herself as he does. She now sees that in his eyes, she is indeed a Goddess.

So I say to the ladies, please do not get offended by FemDom artwork, videos, or literature, no matter how graphic in nature some of these may be. Instead, look more closely at what is being expressed by the male gender. What are men trying to convey when they produce media that shows men collared and bound at the feet of a woman? Ask yourself, why are sites like The Other World Kingdom so popular with men? What do these pictures say about the male submissive nature?

If a woman will look closer, get over her prudish and self-righteous ways and examine the message more than the content, then she will gain an incredible insight into the male psyche. What is the underlying message to all of these expressions, regardless of the content? Is it not simply the male gender recognizing his need to submit to the female gender? Is it not the inner male child, crying out to be disciplined and trained by the female gender? Is it not the true nature of man breaking forth in his attempt to surrender himself to the female gender?

The thing women must keep in mind about Female Domination is that men need it. It is almost always the man who will introduce the Female Domination lifestyle to the woman. A courageous man with submissive desires introduces Female Domination to his female partner. Why do men do this? It's because men desire and need to be in submission to women. No matter how hard society or religion tries to tell men differently, something deep inside of them yearns to surrender to a powerful woman. These desires grow stronger with age and men will spend countless hours dreaming and fantasizing about Female Domination. They will pursue these desires and struggle with these desires trying to come to terms with them but sadly they will not come to terms with them until they truly have a relationship with a woman that can explore these desires with him in a loving manner.

The other side of this dynamic is that women who embrace the dominant role and who allow their dominant nature to come out, end up absolutely loving this lifestyle. It never ceases to amaze me how many women who once were real hesitant about being dominant, end up loving it so much that they later say that they would never go back to being in submission to a man or only having traditional sex with a man. The Female Domination lifestyle is liberating to women and it is also liberating for men, as they now can fulfill that yearning within them. The Female Domination lifestyle can be a win/win relationship for both the woman and the man.

Polyandry

The mating of one female with more than one male while each male mates with only one female is known as polyandry (literally, "many males"). Polyandry (Greek: poly- many, andros- man) refers to a form of polygamous marriage, or other sexual union, in which one woman is married to two or more husbands at the same time.

This type of marriage is, not surprisingly, very rarely found around the Globe. It occurs among populations where there are fewer women than men. Female tendencies to find husbands out of a sack first appeared among traditional matriarchal societies. In such primitive groups there was a tradition to kill baby girls in order to reduce the occurrence of births. As a result the female population gradually decreased in comparison to the male population -- and thus the term, "It's a Man's World"?

Polygamy, on the other hand, is when a woman or man is married to more than one spouse. Polygamy is a term which is most often used when describing how a man is married to more than one woman. This description is incorrect because the concept of polygamy means a situation where either a man or woman is married to more than one spouse. The situation where the man or woman is married to more than one spouse can be sorted into different sociological categories and concepts. These include how a man can be married to more than one woman (polygyny) and how a woman can be married to more than one man (polyandry).

Polyandry in human relationships occurs or has occurred in Tibet, the Canadian Arctic, Zanskar, Nepal, Bhutan, Ladakh, the Nymba, and Sri Lanka, and is known to have been present in some pre-contact Polynesian societies, though probably only among higher caste women. It is also encountered in some regions of Mongolia, among the Mosuo people in China, and in some Sub-Saharan African and American indigenous communities. In other societies, there are people who live in de facto polyandrous arrangements that are not recognized by the law.

Sociologist Hilmi Ziya Ülken made the following statements about the prevalence of polygamy and monogamy;

"Male dominance since the evolution of primitive societies and his first class distinction being his gender distinction have meant that the single husband framework has proved its sovereignty. However in some places, distinctive economic circumstances and in other places, certain historical periods, have all brought about a framework of marrying many husbands. This is apparent in the Fratri region of Australia."

Although historically many societies witness single husband marriages, many women have married more than one man due to the geographical conditions and economic problems. For example; When there was limited land for usage in Tibet, a group of brothers all married the same woman. By marrying the same woman they were able to produce fewer children and avoid a split in their future inheritance. Consequently they were able to establish financial security to a certain degree..
