I kind of gathered that Solarity was soli, but didn't know (s)he was Sola.

Wow, learn something every day.
 
Now I'll go take a nap.

they put me on lockdown and leashed me to this name, so now I'm just "solarity", and nothing more

[CFTraveler]

So now you're in solitary, huh?   

[personalreality]

he is soli, sola, solarity and yin.

i don't think i'm forgetting any.

oh and apparently mike.

I thought Yin was a girl name?

[solarity]

I thought Yin was a girl name?

oh yes, there was a discussion of this for sure, lol, from what I read Yin is 1.5x more or so likely to be a boy's name than girls and it wasn't taken so I went with iT! but, if you wish to think of me as a girl then I suppose I could suffer through that misapprehension

[personalreality]

Yin isn't a girl's name, it is a word that symbolizes the feminine.

The feminine is what we need more of, especially women.  Even they want to be men these days.

[solarity]

Yin=dark and passive=somehow thought to be feminine throughout the ages
you haven't been doing a very good job of gathering them, pr

[personalreality]

[solarity]

gathering what now?

the wemens, duh

[personalreality]

i meant the women need to be more feminine

[solarity]

i meant the women need to be more feminine

you'd have to define feminine for me to be able to understand how they're not feminine anymore

[personalreality]

well, we're living in a masculine dominated age.  one of competition and greed.  a need to be on top.  only the strong survive kind of thing.  whereas a more feminine age would be one of through cooperation we can all survive.  more nurturing rather than dominating.

even women want to be men these days.  they want to be "seen as equals", make the same money and blah blah blah.  they too want to be on top, they want to be in control as well.  while feminism may seem like "equality" its not.  women just want what men want, which is to win.  don't let their equality language confuse you because that's not what it's about.  they don't want men and women to be equal, they want men to see them as equal competitors, capable of competing for resources.  they want to be the alpha fe/male.

Maybe you should redefine what you said "women want to be like men"- The problem that some (not all of the qualities) that are described as feminine, aren't- women are not passive, they are taught to be passive- it's not that they want to be like men, they want to have the same rights as men.
IMO, what some men consider feminine isn't- extreme passivity and manipulativeness is a learned behavior.  If you look at a little girl that hasn't yet been socialized to be a certain way, she is as aggressive as any little boy, and wants the same things as little boys want.
When at puberty the estrogen kicks in, they become less aggressive  and more  emotional- however, this has nothing to do with 'wanting the same rights' and all the other stuff- I don't know many women that want to 'be like men'- however, they want to be treated with the same respect than men.  And that has nothing to do with femininity.

You're expressing exactly what i think is BS.  And i didn't say anything about passivity.

It's hard not to do it, but I really don't equate masculine and feminine with men and women.  I equate it with energies, archetypes, natural forces.  Gender can embody either.  I'm just saying that this "age" is dominated by what traditionally is considered masculine or yang energy.  And my rant was trying to separate women from the term feminine and point out that presently women are much more aligned with masculinity.  And my point is that both men and women need more of the feminine energy to balance us out.  But this is an old issue.  For example, according to the Maya, the 5th age that we're entering now is one of neutral energy, where the first was yin, the second was yang, the 3rd was yin and this, the fourth is yang.  This coming age is to be not a unification of the two, but rather an absence of either.  Don't ask me how to explain that one, it's a concept I feel but can't logically explain.
