GENDER DUALITY
Man vs Woman:
Duality is not a option, it is a necessity. The 'differences' between men and women are necessary to have true balance ( maat ).
A man and woman can accomplish more than (2) men or (2) women can. Without opposite aspects of duality there would be incompleteness.
A man -woman relationship has to be one of equality or it's not a fully functioning relationship.
Up to this point men have dominated relationships, and this imbalance has produced dysfunctional relationships between men and women.
'Maleness' and 'Femaleness' are like bananas and peaches - both are fruit, but very different. Though they are different, each gender has the right to equality of DIGNITY STATUS. Dignity status is NOT the same as ROLE function.
In a healthy relationship each partner recognizes the assets of the other. Each partner has to give the other person their full due respect for abilities, and types of thinking that are unique to each gender.
For women to assume that equality to men means to do a man's job is a fallacy. Because of inequality in the past, women are fighting for what they believe to be their rights. What they should understand is that they have equal dignity- rights are different- even men rights are different from women's rights.
The ideal relationship of a man -woman is fully democratic in regards to decision-making. Neither partner has the right to usurp the opinion of the other.
When you force your point of view on a person (male or female ) you are in violation of dignity status. AND when you ALLOW yourself to be forced, you are in violation of your own dignity status.
Both people need to be assertive, democratic, and respectful of each other. In this type of partnership, the male -female can take on a healthy growth pattern.
~ Side - Step : If there are children in the mix, their opinions should be allowed in family decisions. Not saying that they have the wisdom, experience, and authority that the parents do, but their wishes should be considered. If the child's opinion is appropriate they should be put in the mix.
~ Now.. MEN - don't think that you are GIVING equality to women - you don't have that power. You are just recognizing her dignity status.
MEN - WOMEN - Both men and women are victims in an unequal relationship. So understand that both genders have been victimized.
Men and women - who, while being quite different from each other, are more effective as a complementary whole..
