	An interesting commentary indeed and one you are not likely to see in mainstream press. She must be getting inundated with hate-e-mails!

In fact in the Garden of Eden it was a woman who was deluded with the promise that she would be "as God". Unlike Adam, we need to tell them "HELL NO" and "GET LOST".

To wit -- Now "women�s ministries" is a mighty subculture, jaunty, self-perpetuating, and irresistibly marketable. It�s everywhere. I even saw an invitation to one of those cast-of-thousands women�s events at the local movie theater, among the ads before the feature began. All the women are grinning in an intense, zesty way... The photographer must have been holding up a pie. ------ "Women�s spirituality" is as spurious a construct as "Hoosier spirituality." ------ In addition, there are a couple of cute sidebar quotes from female New Agers -- What Does Women's Spirituality Mean to You?   "Looking for the feminine in spirituality... opened mental doors for me..." --InannasMoon "[It] mostly means the need for a spiritual connection with other women..." �-DreamingDragonfly Wow! Ms. Moons and Ms. Dragonfly are pretty deep! Thanks for posting this fun two-minute chuckle. "It's a terrible thing ... living in fear." - Roy: hunted replicant, Blade Runner

good article (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 07:24 AM July 17th, 2004 EST (#5) I liked how this author pointed out the usual marketing tricks used to appeal to the female mind while the real intent is to instill a "precious or cranky" socialization process into women's lives. Like women are more special compared to men.
