Bring back the Red Tent!



It is often easier to find male camaraderie most definitely in your own community, and truthfully around the world. I have been conducting some informal research for most of my life growing up with a father staying at home and two older brothers. I did not know any difference between femininity and masculinity. It wasn’t until in recent years that my desire to embrace this foreshadowed aspect of myself became apparent. How do we welcome & recognize strong women in the United States and around the world.

I have noticed and been a part of a culture that does not recognize women as multi-faceted goddesses that they are. Women often see other women as competition, threats, or judgmental. It is time to bring this sisterhood of women back together. Honor what makes us all captivating pieces of art, the blessings and challenges that makes us women, to share the stores of Her-story.

Men all over the world have a look, connection, a jargon – of course this has to do with looking at and staring at women. BUT why can we not have this too?

I know in the right circles this is not the common denominator. Women are recognized, women & men are equal and one, and the world is harmonious.

I am talking about mass culture though. 

How do we bring back the rent tent?

More Research. More thoughts. Actions.

Ruminations: These thoughts were the product of traveling through Central America, where Caribbean men feel it okay to howl and call women, in addition to feeling the desires of connection with another source that is not a MAN and I share my waxing and waning experiences of being a woman in the world.
