Fortunate To Be Women
Columnized in Fancy That | Discussion with 20 Comments »
by Tasha Tudor
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose our femininity which is one of our greatest charms? We get much more accomplished by being charming than we would by flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I Think they’re wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error. “

yes I absolutly love this quote from Tasha. She was a wonderful woman and I totally agree with her 100%! It is sad how so many women do not see the need for women being feminine, lovely, women! I pray daily more women would come to this realization from the Lord.

Right on the mark Tasha! I enjoy being a woman… and what’s more, there are definite perks! These include but are not limited to:
Getting flowers from your husband/boyfriend
Having gentlemen open doors for you
Receiving compliments about jewelry, clothing and perfume
And the best one I think… being one of the first ones to get off a sinking ship!!! lol

Since yesterday I have searching the net for what women say about men and the marital relationship.And I landed up in frustration after finding that most of the opinions are negative ((but at the same time I know very well that these are not baseless as men have hardly bothered to become ‘Purusha’(a sanskrit term which corresponds to but essentially transcends masculinity and manliness, having probably no synonym in english.)). I have always seen femininity as a refuse, an oases for the otherwise dried manliness; and have felt that she is the key source of my(Purusha) inspiration to live in this world. Although it is true that my experiences have been not much coherent with my realization about women, as if suggesting that what I see of them is an utopian idealism, still I feel it spontaneous to see them like that, despite bitter realities around me. Now that I glance at this webpage, I find some solace that atleast some women are there who understand, to whatever extent it may be, how and why they are known to be the most precious creation of the Supreme. My thanks and congratulations to you and all those who realize this thing. Please remember that we men realize our potentials only through you (women), and it is the women who help men realize their own significance.

Women have an inherent nature (Adamic curse) to be autonomous. It is natural for us to want to take the lead and usurp authority over the males. Through the spirit of the Lord the curse is broken, but we must learn to bring our flesh under subjection. Once we learn how to submit to our husbands, they will learn how to lead. As Peter says, we can win our husbands through our quiet conversation (behavior). We already have the power! The feminists are searching for something they will never get, for it is only through a relationship with Christ that this can come about.

Dear Shelley,
Though I could not get it properly what exactly you meant by Adamic curse and its impact on women’s inherent nature, my overall impression is that you have struck the right cord somewhere. What we have been told in India by our great seers is that the whole creation belongs to the feminine principle, and she is obviously the authority here though she does not enjoy that much and instead wants the Purusha(who is above the creation) to come down, get involved in her creative dynamics, and assume the role of the ultimate authority. And Purusha does accept this for HE can’t just ignore HIS sweatheart, but at the same time HE very well knows that the actual(dynamic) authority is SHE. Thus, a mutually coordinated role play takes place; Purusha assumes the role of the ultimate authority, but more as an witness to HER creative dynamics. HE enjoys what SHE submits to HIM, but never gets attached to that. On the other hand, SHE enjoys HERSELF more through submitting HERSELF to the PURUSHA. Hence, none of them have any compulsion in their roles, rather they enjoy it in their own ways. What is important is that this never recognizes the feminine principle as the subject of the masculine(not exactly masculine, but I don’t find a proper synonym for Purusha) principle; rather as the Vaishnava literatures have put it, SHE is HLADINI(i.e., by HER only HE enjoys BLISS), SAMBIT(by HER only HE is conscious of HIMSELF), and SANDHINI(by HER HE feels HIS existence). Both are Radha & Krisha(names or forms do not matter here, rather the principles behind them are important).

Thank you for your response. In Genesis, the scripture speaks of the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. (Chap 3) Although it was Eve who directly disobeyed, Adam is held responsible for her actions. God instructed Adam in regards to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil first. God always works through the man as that is the hierarchy he has established for humanity. (The reason the feminine movement is not of God’s plan.) God curses them both: Adam will work by the sweat of the brow, and Eve will suffer the pain of childbirth. Both were sent out of the garden and the gates were closed. Hence, no one knows where this garden originally was. Through Adam all mankind is cursed. It is because of this sin nature that we must come to Christ and gain forgiveness. It is also due to the inherent nature that our whole being falls short of God’s glory. Romans 3:23-For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. What differs between our teachings is that Christianity is founded upon the male with the female as the help meet. We need to be in submission to our spouse as our spouse is to be in subjection to Christ. Each of our positions is different, but we remain equal in importance. When women come into submission to the authority or head of the family, she is able to experience great power in the marriage. I hope I didn’t go overboard here, but only wanted to clarify and explain. All can be found in the scripture via. King James Bible 1611.
