It’s honestly laughable how people try to pass off cheap jokes as actual arguments. 😁

Spirituality is an entirely individual matter, and its path is often dictated by external circumstances far more than internal ones. How on earth can you link spirituality to mere comfort and safety? Unless, of course, you meant the exact opposite...

The idea that women are "practical" is just as much a biological reality as it is common sense, given that it involves caring for another living being. One could argue the author is simply jealous of what women are capable of birthing. One could even say we all start out as girls before undergoing that certain deformation later in life... frankly, during my own early stages of spiritual maturity, that realization might have somewhat dampened my sense of 😁 what constitutes physical superiority... or is that where the real issue lies? 😁

Regardless, the author failed to actually define spirituality, and I find myself wondering why there is such a desperate need to elevate oneself at the expense of everyone else...

Look, a smart person will just filter out the jokes and won't mistake them for actual points. Failing to do that isn't a crime—it's just a massive lapse in judgment.. 🙂

I wouldn't go that hard on the author (even if the topic was set up poorly)—we're basically just here to fix the course of the Mississippi River.. 😁
To be real, though, I wouldn't even dream of trying to define spirituality myself.. mostly because it’s tied so closely to consciousness, and everyone's got their own version of that..

I took it upon myself to interpret what the author was getting at.. But hey, why couldn't those things be connected in a way that actually fuels spiritual growth?🤷

Sure, I'm not ruling out the drive to care for another being—but let's be honest, sometimes that's just a way to feed your own ego and satisfy yourself.. 🙂

While intuition is huge, having it doesn't automatically mean someone is a deeply spiritual person.

Man and woman are just complementary physical manifestations of the spirit in Man.

When you balance both principles within yourself—and then extend that balance to your inner circle (your partner, your family) and eventually to the wider world (your community, your city, your nation)—you actually increase that sense of "spirituality." By consciously optimizing the flow of energy across all those different levels humans can access, you allow for a much more complete manifestation of the spirit.

...

Sure, intuition doesn't mean you've got everything figured out, but it’s huge for your spiritual life—and just living, too. Honestly, women have this natural gift that's just... something else. Better audio quality. They rely on gut feelings because they don't have the massive biceps or triceps needed to push back a falling tree. Instead, it’s like some invisible fairy pokes them in the ass just enough to dodge the trunk. I'm with you on everything you said.

swiftpanther26 said:I'm totally with you on that. But it makes me wonder, though... if someone manages to develop both their masculine and feminine sides internally and becomes truly whole, does that mean they won't feel the need to go looking for an external "other half" since that void isn't there anymore? I know it would be perfect if both people developed themselves into complete circles first and then paired up, but honestly, it seems like in the real world, things don't usually work out quite that smoothly..

Perfection is just a fantasy. In the real world, you only really start feeling that full spectrum of emotions once both people show up with a solid, healthy foundation—both emotionally and physically. It’s like that whole Yin and Yang thing where both sides of the same coin finally click. When you’re deeply connected, it’s intense. You end up loving them and yourself way more because you start seeing yourself through their eyes—knowing you're the one, the only one, totally devoted. Honestly, it boosts your ego in a good way. Your confidence goes up, which builds that self-love, and then that love just spills over into how you treat everyone else.

Kimberly Smith6 said:I’ve been sitting here reflecting on the complexities of human nature, and I can't help but feel that women often lean more toward the material side of life than men do—though, perhaps, that’s just my own limited perception coloring the view. It seems to me there's this deep-seated need for them to find stability through a partner, almost as if an underlying sense of insecurity drives them to seek out a man who can provide that anchor. And then, once that foundation is laid, there is this profound, driving impulse to build up a family and create something lasting together. It’s a complicated dance of needs and motivations, isn't it?
It honestly feels like some people have this almost innate, restless compulsion to conjure up a massive crisis out of thin air when absolutely nothing is wrong! It’s like they possess this peculiar talent for taking a perfectly calm situation and somehow twisting it into a monumental catastrophe, creating drama where none existed just moments before.
And of course, they just have this incredible knack for making everything as unnecessarily complicated as humanly possible, don't they? It’s almost like a talent! They seem to absolutely thrive on conflict—just living for the drama, the arguments, and those endless, heated disputes that never seem to end.

I’m currently typing this up on my mobile device via Tapatalk 2, specifically while wearing my Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670.

It’s just a fact, women and men just think differently. A guy will say, "The curtains look dirty," and a woman will be like, "Wait, the curtains are dirty? He thinks *I'm* dirty. He thinks I'm a mess and don't care about myself or the house. He doesn't think I'm marriage material. He doesn't love me. And he definitely won't want to sleep with me tonight. Oh, you don't want to sleep with me tonight? Well, now you really won't!!"

Kimberly Smith6 said:Well, I suppose it’s because God—or perhaps just Mother Nature—designed men with such an incredibly powerful sexual drive, to the point where they can initiate intimacy without much fanfare at all. Beyond that, a healthy man can remain fertile well into his 70s, whereas a healthy woman might face menopause as early as her 30s, or perhaps in her 40s if she's particularly lucky; anything else is really quite rare.

Then there is the other matter of certain men being unable to conceive due to an unhealthy lifestyle—poor diet, smoking, and things of that nature—but that isn't really a valid counterpoint, unless you view it as an example of how a poor lifestyle can lead to consequences so severe that they even stifle one's sexual vitality.

If you were to effectively switch off a man's sexual drive, then you finally arrive at the answer to why guys don't approach women anymore; instead, they simply occupy themselves with other pursuits.

The days of the Ghost or using physical discipline as a corrective measure when a woman goes too far and loses sight of reality are long gone. Nowadays, the wife, the police, the courts, the neighbors, and the whole damn world will descend upon a man in an instant.

I remember watching this video on YouTube where two actors staged a scene of violence—playing the victim and the aggressor—to see how the public would react on a film set. When the man acted as though he were attacking the woman (without actually hitting her), people rushed to intervene immediately. But when they swapped roles, with the woman as the aggressor and the man as the victim, nobody reacted at all. In fact, some people even laughed!

Of course, I am certainly not advocating for violence.

There is also that old saying that when God created woman, the devil laughed.

I agree with them—not that I'm ever okay with violence, obviously, it goes both ways. But let's be real, unless she's out there benching 350, a woman hitting a man usually isn't going to cause serious physical damage, unless it's a lucky shot. It's mostly just swinging wildly or slapping him to bruise his ego. A man can easily overpower a woman; he could seriously hurt her. It's just not the same level of impact. It's like a Maltese barking at a Dogue de Bordeaux—the big dog might just move away or swat it with a paw, but they aren't going to go for the throat unless they're actually threatened. It's not all black and white.

Ryan Wilson2 said:Hmm, I used to think along those lines myself, but I find myself becoming increasingly skeptical of this notion. Why should anyone be required to develop both principles if we are born inherently embodying just one? Why wouldn't our primary purpose, for instance, simply be to cultivate the specific principle we were born with? Furthermore, how is a man even supposed to connect with his feminine side when he lacks the fundamental physical predispositions—such as the innate instinct of motherhood, menstruation, or a direct connection to lunar cycles, and so on? We aren't even physically aligned with women; so how can we possibly expect to achieve this spiritually, unless we simply latch onto vague concepts that someone attributed to a "feminine principle" thousands of years ago?

The reverse is equally true.

Look, you've got about 65% water in your body, and the Moon definitely has an effect on fluids.

But what about dealing with PMS on top of all that?😉
We're all a little wild regardless of the lunar cycle! Honestly, I think it's better this way—we can just channel all that extra energy into something more productive, like physical intimacy, instead of just being constantly on edge.

Maybe try using a few more descriptive words there, huh?😁

The point is, women don't actually need to go through any extreme rituals to reach enlightenment:

😲😲😁😲😲

There was this Buddhist monk in Thailand who ended up slicing his own genitals off with a machete—all because he hit an unwanted erection while trying to meditate.

Helena Blavatsky is the only name that comes to mind here. Women have a distinct biological role to play. If they attempt to mimic men or try to "outmaneuver" them, they’ll just find themselves in trouble. Selfishness isn't the same thing as femininity.

Regarding the mention of PMS above, I don't buy it. You have a rational mind; you should be able to control your own behavior. You aren't a primate.

Oh, sure, you "don't buy it"... mostly because you don't have any excuses left and you actually use your head to stay in check.
Unless, of course, someone posts something like this... then we might need to ship them off to the local zoo.🤦🎉🤣

Do you honestly believe you have the right to act like a total animal and expect everyone else to just put up with it simply because it's a bad day for you?

Exactly!
Honestly, every single day of the month feels like one of those bad days to me.😒

It's always the same old story, isn't it? When someone runs out of actual points to make, they just resort to personal attacks...🎉
