I was thinking if Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden for whatever, then the world around us is their version of what Eden should have been. And if that is the case then why would they be disatisfied.

Then again if aspects of Adam and Eve are in us all and they are spirits then they could talk thru any of us and perhaps I am talking to Her now; How are you Eve?

Re: Opposites attract | ||

If opposites attract then it is reasonable to assume a patriarchal society will be composed of dominant males and subserviant woman.
Let's make an analogy with a predominantly female website which one could consider Matriarchal. In a matriarchal society women are dominant and males subserviant. Alpha females resist alpha males so a predominantly female website will work, perhaps unconsciously, to establish female dominancy. Presumablu both Adam and Eve are Alpha in their class and perhaps unconsciously work to dominate each other. I don't know what the demographics are on this board or if you have run into this problem but we have to acknowledge this tendency, in my opinion, if we are going to have a rational exchange of thoughts. I say "rational" because if unacknowledged then this tendency will work in the background to the detriment of communication and to the eventual capitulation of reason itself. Wherever alpha's gather there is going to be friction and if we seek to keep the peace at all costs then communication defers to a mere facade of respectability. In other words we sacrifice reason for an artificial and deceptive presentation. Obviously Eve resents Patriarchal dominance and obviously Adam wont stand to dominated so there has to be a split unless the opposing tendencies can be worked with. Now where do gays come in. I don't know, there are dominat gay women and dominant gay men? So anyway, perhaps it take a gay perspective to conjoin the two halves. What say you? |

What say me? Actually I don't get much of your essay. Some of it does not seem to logically follow.
For example, just because something is prodominately female does not mean you can consider it a matriarchy (e.g. a harem). Your discussion about alpha dominance does not make sense to me, mainly because male alphas and female alphas are not opposites competing, they are different genders who are complimentary. It's a matter of perspective. The same with Adam and Eve. These two "archetypes" work together because they compliment each other, not because they are striving to dominate each other. Unless you are preparing to make up a different and unique mythology which you are certainly free to do. You wanted to know the demographics of this board? We are 50:50 here. Regarding the last part, I am not sure what you are getting at. And as for dominant and subservient gays or straights, surely you are aware that this (dominancy) is a spectrum of behavior and a complex one at that. Outliers are rare. |
