Real Tantra: part 1

Woman is the creator of the universe the universe is her form; woman is the foundation of the world, she is the true form of the body. In woman is the form of all things, of all that lives and moves in the world. There is no jewel rarer than woman, no condition superior to that of a woman. -Shaktisangama Tantra


When a man solely worships a woman for the way his penis reacts to her, he has cheapened all women.  When a man beats or scolds or thinks himself superior to women, he is fighting against nature herself like child having a tantrum.  A man that cannot admit he has something to learn from women; he is the truest of fools. 


Men have built religions that honor maleness, placed male strengths as the highest ideals, and congratulated themselves for their position of power, but some are starting to see through the façade.  Doesn't it seem like they are trying to convince themselves?  It certainly seems that way to me.  


Ancient tantric yogis knew that woman was the first form of the body, and we sad creatures, it took us multiple millennia and science to figure out this simple biological fact.  Man is derivative.  He is an altered female.  It doesn't take much to see that.  

My history professor explained male anatomy through analogy.  He remembered growing up with the family Plymouth Fury.  He said that it came in two additions: the souped-up verison with the clock, the radio, and the cigarette lighter, and the base version which had metal plates over those three areas.  Boys, stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself why you have nipples.  They serve absolutely no biological function for men.  It's rather like the metal plates covering the missing mammary glands.  A woman creates a fully sustainable ecosystem within which to grow a new life... and the best you can manage is genetic material delivery.  The egg is the part that actually does all the work to form life.  Sperm are just chromosomes with propulsion. 


I'm not saying we don't need men or that men have no value.  I don't think that's fair at all.  I do, however, think that reassessment of our values is in order.  I think it is wrong to treat women as chattel to be locked away AND as constant sexual objects.... and if men are truly to worship women, it must be done for the right reasons.  Current BDSM practices do not do anything but allow men to constantly focus on their penis.
