We have observed different species and discovered the many reproductive mechanisms. For example-
A female gorilla's bottom turns pink and becomes exposed when she is ready to mate. In other words, she is telling the male gorrilla "I am ready. I would like to be penetrated." There is no culture that teaches a female gorilla how to 'pink' its bottom when in heat. Given that example, lets observe ourselves as humans but first focus on what men do or don't do and yet patriarchy (culture-religion) does not teach them. 1. Statistics America-One man wrote in his book that in his 20+ years, as a counselor, not a single woman, if I remember correctly, he wrote "not one woman..", ever came back to say that abuse from her husband decreased after the birth of a child. It either stayed the same or INCREASED. Africa-In different cultures, including my own, it is common knowledge to hear women saying that abusive husbands usually wait until their wives give birth, then they start beating her because they know she can't leave due to economic dependence. I doubt if these 'two' men met somewhere in the continent or called each on their cell phones and said "Look, you are in America, I am in Africa, but remember to "pump up gas" after the birth of a child. Ok!?" Are there video games in America that teaches boys from childhood or as grown men, to increase abuse of the women they penetrate after the birth of a child? Is there an African culture that teaches boys to indulge themselves after the birth of a child? Is it the same trend in Asia, Australia and Europe..etc? 2. During my research I asked men why abusers don't conciously hit a woman's breast as they would the rest of the body. Their response was "No man would do that because a woman's breast is very important to him." Important to him? Now think about it! How could a few African men that I talked to be so sure and so accurate about the behaviour of other men in private? Look around you! Patriarchy offers men the tool (culture and religion) to use to employ all forms of violence against women, but is there a culture or religion that teaches boys/men not to hit the breast? 3. Men who penetrate women, usually suck the breast before penetration. During or after penetration, yes. But before happens almost always. Is there a culture that teaches boys to suck the breast before penetration? QUESTION Given the examples above, what do we know that women do and yet they are not scripted by patriarchy (culture and religion)? I would be delighted if this could generate debate among us on this list. So please respond. Anyo ------------------------ Yahoo!
