MY HERBAL MENTOR, RICHARD SCHULZE ( 1 -877-832-2463) OF MARINA DEL REY, CA.,
SAID IN ONE OF HIS COURSES (WORDS APPROXIMATE),

'PEOPLE DON'T TOUCH EACH OTHER ENOUGH. A DOCTOR, FOR EXAMPLE, DOES NOT WANT
TO TOUCH YOU. HE'D RATHER TOUCH YOU WITH A KNIFE THAN WITH HIS
HANDS.....PEOPLE NEED TOUCHING.....THOUCH THOSE WHO ARE SICK NEED TO BE
TOUCHED, (MASSAGED, CARRESED, ETC.).

WE ARE IN A QUANDARY DUE TO THE TEACHINGS OF THIS PERVERTED PATRIARCHAL
SOCIETY. WITH ALL THE TABOOS AGAINST SEX AND THE DELINQUENT BEHAVIOR OF MEN,
PLUS THE MISOGYNY, OUR WORLD IS STANDING ON ITS HEAD. WE ARE NOW TRYING TO
GET BACK UPWARD, AND THIS LETTER MAKES GOOD POINTS.

Subject: MEN FEAR WOMEN HELL WOMEN FEAR WOMEN.... numa_nicol

from circumcision to rights of passage, all the rituals devised to

help boys and young men feel part of the community and promote their

sence of place has been because they don't grow tits, and cannot

produce a child from their own bodies. NO NATURALLY GODDESS GIVEN

OBVIOUS SIGNS OF MATURITY. In a woman it is an accepted given.

all the inventions and innovations which men have produced from their

minds and hands cannot and will not EVER compare to the magnificence

of our power.



even women have a tremendous fear of their own awesomeness. so much so

that to some of our sisters the best they can think of doing with

themselves is act like men. be very butch. not that that is wrong if

that is their true nature. however, in my observations, it is usually

women who have experienced a great deal of pain from some male figure

in their life and it is a physical manifestation of the desire to

protect themselves.

there are articles and books where the author states that (more so in

ancient society who had no bottles) the breast and the soft belly is

everyones standard for love and beauty. Infants of both sexes being

nourished in the warmpth of the bosm come to understand love and

beauty in this way.

It is a proven fact that children not held develope poorly. well,

imagine the generations we have now. bottle fed in another room.

mothers prop the bottle and leave the infant alone. no wonder the

pressing desire to become physical.

but then when the man gets close, he has no idea how to become

comfortable with it. and he fears the female will sence his

awkwardness and he fears being embarressed. Then he feels she will

definately reject him. So out of that fear he becomes angry with her

for his imagined ridicule and the need for control and domination

manifests.

so.

lets cure this

encourage every woman to breast feed.

make sure babies sleep in their parents room the first three months of

life so they develope a sence of security.

hold them as long as they want. You cannot spoil a newborn.

people who say that are jealous of the warmpth and closeness.

mothers should hold their growing sons close to their bodies. so they

know softness and love and comfort with the womans body.

this way he won't be awkward.

nervous perhaps, but not awkward.

most important of all don't treat sex like some almighty taboo.

the fear of punishment for 'sin' is another reason for the ongoing

abuse on women. because we are taught sex is bad and sinful, and since

a man is genetically hardwired for desiring sex he blames this desire

on being the fault of the woman and thus she deserves to be punished

for sparking this sinful fire within his loins.

not realizing he is supposed to have this fire and that it is a gift

not a sin.



and finally ....for now....

teach conflict resolution in school and teach people how to deal with

each others shit. have it as free ongoing classes, groups and meetings

throughout adult life.

You might expect to find one in Saudi Arabia or in other parts of the
conservative Middle East, but freewheeling Tel Aviv has just got Israel's
first women-only department store.

At first glance it looks like any other department store. Women browse
busily through counters of make-up, household goods, clothes and underwear.

But look again, and you'll spot the difference.

There are no bored-looking husbands or boyfriends waiting around. In fact,
there's not a single man in sight. Welcome to Israel's first women-only
shopping experience.


Sometimes I have to yell at them, sometimes I push them, but I keep them
[men] out

Wana Borka,

security guard

No men are allowed up the escalators into this new mall in Tel Aviv's
ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood of Bnei Brak. Any male over the age of 10 who
does inadvertently stray upstairs is swiftly removed.

"I chase them out," says 29-year old Wana Borka, the shop's security guard,
an immigrant from Romania who once worked undercover for the Taiwanese
police.

She bridles at the dress code imposed on her - a long, loose skirt in
keeping with the style of the area - but relishes the task of ensuring the
store remains a women-only zone.

"Sometimes I have to yell at them, sometimes I push them, but I keep them
out," she says.

No men are allowed to go up the escalator

And the customers appreciate the unique environment of a modern department
store specifically designed for traditional, religious women.

"I feel much more comfortable here because you don't have to worry about who
is looking at you, " says Adina Slavin, an immigrant from Australia. "And
the other modern malls are all full of clothes that aren't suitable for
religious women like me."

The new store is owned by a 33-year old businessman, Yehuda Amar, who has
previously been involved in building apartments.


You can try on hats without worrying men will look at you and your uncovered
hair

Mariam Mashiach,

shopper

"Business is good, and it's better because it's women-only," he says. "It's
what the people in this area want. They can look at the lingerie and make-up
without worrying about men lurking behind them."

Mariam Mashiach, out shopping with her 16-year old daughter for a new hat,
plans to return. "I'd definitely recommend it to my friends," she says.

"Hats are a sign of modesty for married women, and here you can try them on
in peace without worrying that men will look at you and your uncovered
hair."

Lucrative market

Manager Pnina Greenberg says the mall provides an important social service
in an area where the men spend most of their day in prayer and the women
have little opportunity to spoil themselves.

"I see the satisfaction on their faces and the light in their eyes," she
says. "Women are women wherever they are. It's in their nature to shop."

Israel's million-strong ultra-Orthodox community, with its centuries-old
traditions, is proving to be a lucrative market for businesses selling 21st
Century services and appliances tailored to meet their religious strictures.

Already, there is a "kosher" mobile phone, approved by the country's
rabbinical authorities, which blocks telephone numbers for sex and dating
sites.

And those behind Israel's first women-only store believe that "shopping Bnei
Brak" may well set a trend in the country.

MARRIAGE IN EUROPE IS OLD HAT. WOMEN DON'T NEED MEN ANY MORE.

Submitted by John Rooney

Headline: In Europe, unmarried parents on rise

Byline: Peter Ford Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

Date: 04/17/2006

(PARIS)Germany's Bild newspaper has called it "the Steffi Graf trend." And

though a pregnant Ms. Graf ended up marrying Andre Agassi a few days

before their son, Jaden, was born, Bild has a point.

Across Europe, the number of children born to unmarried couples has

risen sixfold over the past 35 years to nearly 1 in 3 of all babies,

altering the face of the European family beyond recognition - and

beyond recall - say demographers and social analysts.

While most governments have regarded the transformation as simply a

sign of the times, some experts are sounding the alarm.

Given the relative fragility of de facto unions - and the social

implications of single-parent families - "the rise in births outside

marriage is a real cause for concern" warns John Ermisch, an economics

professor at the University of Essex in England.

If Prof. Ermisch's findings that de facto British unions break up more

quickly and more often than marriages apply throughout the continent,

points out Dr. Peter Brierley of the Christian Research group in

London, the increasing numbers of single-parent families in Europe will

mean governments will have to rethink policy on a wide range of issues.

More housing will be needed for more families, more childcare

facilities will have to be provided, more thought will have to be given

to employing single mothers, and more attention paid to the particular

social and educational needs of youngsters brought up by only one

parent. All this, with many European countries already faltering under

the strain of generous state welfare programs.

Reflecting different social, religious, and economic traditions that

have shaped the 25 countries in the European Union (EU), the number of

births outside marriage varies widely from one end of the Continent to

the other.

In Sweden, the figure is 56 percent. In Greece it is 4 percent. In

between come France with 48 percent, Britain at 42 percent and Germany

at 28 percent, according to the EU's official statistics branch,

Eurostat.

In Germany, one survey shows only 38 percent of women favor marriage

But nearly all nations share two salient factors in common: the numbers

have skyrocketed in recent decades, and the increase is due to children

born to co-habitating couples, not to single mothers.

"Marriage is no longer considered an indispensable preliminary to

welcoming a child" found a recent French parliamentary report on the

family, which noted that "free unions" have become much more common -

and not just for very young people.

In Germany, a recent Federal Statistics Office survey reached similar

conclusions: only 38 percent of women and 30 percent of men see

marriage as a necessary part of living together.

In Britain, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found in 1999 that

cohabiting couples accounted for 24 percent of the men living in any

kind of partnership and 25 percent of women - double the rates

prevalent in 1986.

"People these days don't expect their marriages to last, so they think

'why get married in the first place if weddings are expensive and

divorce complicated?' " says Dr. Brierley, whose organization provides

information to help British church leaders make informed policy

decisions.

And where there are cohabiting partnerships, there are babies. "One of

the important engines behind the rise in non-marital childbearing,"

said the ONS study of European trends, "is the rise in cohabitation

that has occurred, particularly since the 1980s, in many European

countries."

Why a sixfold jump in unwed parents since the 1970s?

Ermisch, the University of Essex professor, sees the origins of the

trend in the contraceptive pill, which began to enjoy wide popularity

in Europe in the 1970s. "It used to be very costly to delay marriage,"

he argues.

"Either you didn't have sex or you risked having an illegitimate baby.

The pill made delay less costly," he says, and as live-in couples

formed - and firmed up - increasingly they decided to start a family.

At the same time, suggests Dirk Konietzka, coauthor of a German study

carried out in 2003 by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic

Research, "much of it has to do with the modernization of womens' role,

and also that women who have children can work. There are fewer reasons

to get married."

Changing social mores in societies where religion and churches have

suffered declining influence have also had an impact. "It is clearly

apparent in all the countries that those who became mothers within

marriage were more religious than their counterparts who had their

first child in other contexts," says the ONS report, drawing on United

Nations figures.

In France, where church-going is rare, "society draws no distinction

between couples that are married and those that aren't," points out

France Prioux, research director at the National Institute for

Demographic Studies. "There is no social disapproval."

Nor are there any legal differences in France between married and

unmarried couples when it comes to matters such as inheritance or

parental rights. (In Britain, however, unmarried fathers have no legal

parental rights if they separate from their child's mother.)

This year's French parliamentary report expressed no concern about the

surging trend toward families headed by unwed parents. It pointed out

that 92 percent of children born to such couples are acknowledged by

both parents by their first birthdays, which suggests that they are

born into stable unions.

Evidence emerging in Britain and France, however, suggests that de

facto unions are not as stable as those bound by a legal contract, and

that in their wake they leave more children living with only one

parent, with all the social, economic, and educational disadvantages

that is widely acknowledged to bring.

Ermisch's research, for example, has found that the average duration of

a cohabiting union in Britain (though growing longer year by year) is

between three and four years - though this is partly explained by the

fact that 40 percent of them turn into marriages.

Nonetheless, he calculates, only 35 percent of British babies born to

cohabiting parents will live with both of them until their 16th

birthday. Seventy percent of children born to married couples will do

so, Ermisch says. Children born in cohabiting unions will spend an

average of 4.7 years of their childhood with only one parent, compared

with 1.6 years for those born in marriage, he says.

While the number of informal partnerships that turn into marriages

varies considerably from one country to another (in Italy, Sweden,

Austria and Switzerland it is around 70 percent, while in France it is

only 32 percent, the ONS found), Ermisch's figures appear to find some

echo in France.

In France, free unions may break up at twice the rate of marriages.

There, Ms. Prioux says, only 10 percent of marriages break up within

the first five years, compared with 18 percent of free unions. That

explains, she adds, why in 1999, 7 percent of 5-year-olds born to

married couples had seen their parents break up, compared with 15

percent of children of unmarried couples.

Interestingly, however, that ratio narrowed considerably for French

children who had been born 10 years earlier: 20 percent of 15-year-olds

born to married parents had seen them divorce, while 25 percent of

those born to unmarried parents had experienced their break-up.

"Those informal unions that last seem to last much longer nowadays,"

suggests Prioux, though she says insufficient research has been done to

fully explain the figures.

Whichever way the statistics break down, however, "the trend towards

more children being born outside marriage ... will continue unless

there is a radical change of heart in the whole of society towards the

issue," says Brierley. "I don't think you are going to stop that."
