Not only male gays have the feminine part as the dominant one; many male heterosexuals, sometimes, have a feminine part as the dominant one; and even male gays, a few, have the masculine part as the dominant one. There are no rules regarding sexuality. Yes, I agree with you. There are lots of unhealthy people in the world, but that has nothing to do with sexuality and sexual orientation.

True. I am referring to healthy people. Today there are many unhealthy people in our unhealthy society, and very few people have meaningful relationships, because we've forgotten how to mirror the masculine and feminine aspects of our creator, in the correct way, as he designed us.

Your comment: "Allow yourself to feel good about being a woman" proves my point. It appears as if you want to provoke and make personal comments to someone you have never met. A tad misogynistic.
Do take care if you are going to be spiritual and spout words of wisdom, not to undermine the very public you are trying to reach.

Well, you´re disregarding the millions of gays and all the other deviants! Their dominant part is feminine; at least the male ones. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender. Then, please, do not mix up.

Hello Rabbi
Your comment: "Allow yourself to feel good about being a woman" proves my point. I don't think you see from what you have advised, that you are indeed being provocative in trtying to anger others. You are implying you know more about me than I do. about myself by your incorrect observation. I enjoy being a woman - so your mistakes in assuming things are fairly acceptable - it proves you are indeed human and therefore I forgive you.

Sure. But we're referring to the dominant part.

The word "misogynistic" is a tad strong, don't you think? I would say it is those who do not value the nurturing qualities of the home, or the woman's role in building a home--but rather, see value only in career, upward mobility, out there conquering and establishing prestige--those are the misogynists.
A woman is not special because she can be a man. A woman is special because she can be who she is, and most likely that is something womanly. Allow yourself to feel good about being a woman.

Hello -I am female. To be honest - I find your comments extremely sexist. A home is only that when there is more than one person living there - together - making good company, eating together, laughing together - not role playing in the sense that the woman does the housework and the man sits and prays. I think perhaps in your comment is a touch of subjective belittling going on and a provocational need to anger others. I usually like your comments but on this occasion, forgive me, but your reputation sounds slightly misogynistic.
Thanks though - for putting me in my place. Regards

The feminine part of anyone is not always dominant in females. There is no rule! There are so many exceptions if we consider your assertion. The best is not to aver anything regarding that. Rather, undoubtedly, every human being is partially feminine and partially masculine.
