I love Women because we always bounce back!!

Yes, that's right I used to be a HUGE misogynist. And while I won't say I've completely healed myself of this trait (or that I will) I'm much better than I used to be. But that aside, and to play devil's advocate a bit I *do* know women who do act in less than savory ways.

BUT I L-O-V-E this post. And I *KNOW* that my feelings towards my gender have lead to a whole slew of physical issues for me and just realizing and connecting to how I felt has helped the healing process and this entry just furthers this along. Thanks for sharing love!

Thanks for sharing your truth with us, love. You know you're safe here. And Jessica, thanks for loving on her while I was away from the computer! Way to hold space.

You all are amazing.
You rock my world.
Big big love

Great post, Lissa!

I think there are way too many reasons to love women to sum up at any one time... LOL

And with that being said, I am going to take a breath, and come out myself... I've said this in other places, but not on OP... I'm not straight. I think I'm a lesbian, or maybe bi...

Phew. I'm still breathing. :)

Thanks for this space, Lissa and everyone else at OP.

In my youth my Dad was the trustworthy person and my Mom the sometimes mean and bitter one, basically from my start. It warped me into confusion, insecurity and keeping a BIG distance between me and most women, but older women in particular. Now that I'm in my forties I slowly start to trust... to show myself with my vulnerabilities and although I can shake like a leaf the world has become a better place, more loving and warm and welcoming.

A beautiful post that made me think and appreciate (hey, but then I AM bisexual, hehehe).

I love women because women LISTEN!!! They listen with their hearts and their heads and their entire beings. They listen to what is said, and what is not said. They read eyes and body language and auras/energy fields. They work together to solve problems. They are not afraid to ask for help, or to admit uncertainty. They find strength in each other, and in the Earth.

Dearest Lissa!
As an "honorary lesbian" (conferred upon me by two wonderful women whom I am minister for their wedding this weekend), your words resonate with me, despite my (male) gender.
What makes women so lovable? Because essentially you create life by bringing us men and women into the world. And continue to do so, despite the inconvenience, pain, suffering and often loss of life, which somehow makes you wish to try this process all over again. In a word, women are brave!
Simple words, I know, but how I feel.
Keep coming out!
Love
Toby

And so true! Thank you sharing.

Because I can't help it.

We are connected to the earth: Our monthly cycle mimics the phases of the moon and the tides

We are connected to each other: We know when other women are feeling a particular feeling. This is part of what we call women's intuition. Put two women in a home together and their menstrual cycles will sync.

We are connected to the Universe: we can feel change coming, we can feel if something is wrong or right with the ones we love, we can use our senses to make decisions. This is the final part of what we call women's intuition. This is the reason that, in the time when the world was connected to the universe priestesses were revered above all spiritual leaders.

We are strong: I have witnessed women give with in their homes with no drugs, just love and determination. I will never doubt women's innate strength as long as I live.

We are creative, it is our nature.

We are unstoppable: we are powerful and we use that power for good. We are not having a moment, we are having a revolution.
