Perspective On 2016 Elections
“Are we ready for a woman president” is an insulting
question. Just who is “we”?
Women are certainly ready to serve. The real question ought to be “Are we as a people ready to acknowledge the imbalance in ourselves?” Men and some women are so overly masculine, to the complete denial of the Feminine that their decisions and policies are without a much needed perspective. We have not valued the Feminine, which incidentally is not soft and fuzzy, but fiercely compassionate. The Feminine sees the big picture, is relational, takes more than the bottom line into account. Coupled with the authentic masculine which is the Visionary, true leadership emerges. We desperately need men and women in politics who see the value in the Feminine perspective, while honoring the equal necessity of the authentic masculine.
