  • So I said to her

    "There's an irony in this as many tribal rituals around the world are intended for males to steal female ritual power. These include male initiation rites (women create the boy, but it is through male procreative power the man is made) and other practises such as genital sub-incision and male menstruation (various tribes do this various ways: from sharp grasses inside the nose to bleeding fromthe genitals). Myths and rituals hint at a time when the matriachy were dominant, and there was a male revolution, where they stole back female ritual power (the sacred flutes) and appropriated for themselves, while using the same symbolism to enshrine their ascendancy. There is further theory that is was a sorroral solidarity that forced the previously combative and competitive alpha males to co-operate and hunt for the females, so they could raise slow developing, large-brained offspring and so facilitated the birth of language and symbolic culture, and first true revolution".

    and you know what, I never heard from her again. Women eh?
