a WHOLE lot more organized and cute lol.. and lots of pink.

I would just ask only this; that if I complain about something or someone, it is not because I need said man to fix it. I just need him to listen.

Here's an article on Goddess Worship if anyone is interested: http://www.religioustolerance.org/goddess. htm

"Most researchers currently accept the belief that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 to 250,000 years ago. Until about 8000 BCE, our ancestors organized themselves into hunter-gatherer societies. Humans alone had developed the realization that their life was finite; that they would all die. This resulted in the development of the primitive religious beliefs. Societies which relied mainly on hunting by men naturally developed hunting gods to worship. Those in which gathering was more reliable generally created vegetative Goddesses. The importance of fertility in crops, in domesticated animals, in wild animals and in the tribe itself were of paramount importance to their survival. The female life-giving principle was considered divine and a great mystery. Some Goddess statues still survive from this era. One web site contains photographs of Goddess statues from circa 30,000 BCE to 1987 CE. 1

It is important to realize that many of these findings by archaeologists and historians are speculative in nature. For example, the interpretation that the old European culture stressed the female as divine is largely based on the number of carvings of a female shape found from this era. Some point to the relative lack of equivalent male statues as evidence of a Goddess culture. Others suggest that the female statues might have been the old European culture's equivalent of modern-day erotic photographs.

This "old European" culture lasted for tens of thousands of years in what is now Europe. They generally lived in peace; there is a notable lack of defensive fortifications around their hamlets. As evidenced by their funeral customs, males and females appear to have had equal status. Many historians and archaeologists believe that:

Their society was matrilineal; children took their mothers' names.
Life was based on lunar (not solar) calendar.
Time was experienced as a repetitive cycle, not linearly as we think of it.

Many academics believe that the suppression of Goddess worship in Western Europe occurred a few thousand years BCE, when the Indo-Europeans invaded Europe from the East. They brought with them some of the "refinements" of modern civilization: the horse, war, belief in male Gods, exploitation of nature, knowledge of the male role in procreation, etc. Goddess worship was gradually combined with worship of male Gods to produce a variety of Pagan polytheistic religions, among the Greeks, Romans, Celts, etc. Author Leonard Shlain offers a fascinating alternative explanation..."

I honestly believe there would not be as much war if women RAN the world, but I just wonder what it would look like on paper if women were the ones recording history-on scented stationery no less.

that is the funniest thing!!

I would have to add that the use of selective hearing will be forbidden and punishable by extra household chores

oo! oo! do the 'women' include the gay guys too? haha.

i think history would be more or less the same if women wrote it. It would be different if women wrote it from the present female perspective, though. Way different.

Come on Marvel! You know that being Gay is just a new fad we'll all outgrow! (Just kidding) Gays couldn't have written history.....

Wait...maybe some did! Do we have any studies that point out any famous historical figures who might have been Gay? I'd really like to know about that.

I think if a women had written history they would write in more love..
But I think more war too.. Because woman seem to like to bicker more..

You never know. In some societies being sexually gay was 'normal'. In Ancient greece, men slept with each other all the time, while also taking a wife. Maybe homosexuality wasn't a 'thing' back then because it was just expected.

Napoleon was described as a very flamboyant man. You never know! haha.

I don't know if I buy you're description of ancient greek homosexuality (so says the classics minor). I think it was more of a power thing- you could sleep with anyone in a lower position of power than you. So citizen men could sleep with anyone, male or female. Slaves could only sleep with those in power who propositioned them, or those who thier masters allowed them to. Women could only sleep with their husbands or people they were pimped out to. It was hardly a case of an equal relationship, it just had more to do with convenient sex.

But I know that's another issue, I was just going to get on my soapbox for a minute.. (as she steps off)


But I'll buy the argument that homosexuality wasn't an issue until modern times because who you slept with wasn't an integral part of your identity. That distinction didn't really happen until later.

The first that came to mind is Tchaikovsky. "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies"? C'mon...

Why can't I edit my own posts anymore? (That's a rhetorical question, I know why) Grr... I hate grammatical errors.

I agree. My point was just that 'homosexuality' was not such a huge distinction. Men slept with other men often....even when they were married.

I think its normal. I just wish everyone else did, too.
