Uranus is closing in on the mid-point of its transit through Pisces.

I really hope these Fish become less militant and bitter towards men when Uranus leaves Pisces and Neptune leaves Aquarius.

And I know I'm treading on thin ice, considering women out-number men on this forum by, like, 20-to-1.

But as I've said before: I think holding back is a shame. I don't believe in the word "taboo", and I feel every single topic regarding the nature of humanity should be freely discussed.

But I'll understand if no one cares to contribute to this...

...Dismissal was all I received when I tried to address the feminist initiative with the Pisces women...

I have Sun Venus and mercury in Pisces in 7th/8th depending on which chart you use.

I am not a feminist but am a very strong female - I've had to be life has certainly tested me. Certainly not a feminist, well not a 'ball breaking' one anyhow.

My Pisces sensitivity is a strength not a weakness. How can you truly understand how others feel and be able to help if you are not a feeling person yourself.

I do scare a lot of men off lol but only the ones who like to be in control and cannot understand a free thinking woman who is capable of looking after herself.

The lesbian thing certainly doesnt apply to me, think I must be one of the one in 20 women who doesnt want to have sex with another woman. It has never been a fantasy of mine.

If I have a man in my life its because I 'want' not because I 'need'.

Like you I also beleive no subject should be taboo and am willing to discuss any subject that I have knowledge about.

I'm all for female power but have never considered myself a feminist. It seems that (some) feminists see women's libe as one-sided. Example: IMO, some feminists see some women's choice to live the traditional role (homemaker/mother) as a step backwards while heavily promoting the career do-it-all woman. I see this as hypocritical, as the point of female freedom (to me) is the freedom to decide how you want to live your life.

I've been basically forced to hate men, by men, thanks to a very psycopathic scorpio and his associates. I'm not attracted to women, but I think it would be a hell of a lot safer for me in my current situation. I've been forced to be in literal self-defense mode for years now and it's taken its toll.

Anyway, the whole feminist thing is really about getting equal rights and laws for women and isn't concerned with your occupation or if you're a stay at home mom. Personally, if I had a child, I'd want to be a full time mom.

Without feminist groups lobbying for your rights as women in society, we could be treated like Pakistanian women, who when raped, need at least four witnesses to corroborate it was indeed rape - if they fail to meet that burden, they are charged with adultery and subject to death. We wouldn't have "rape shield laws" that prohibit a women's sexual history and dress from being presented as evidence in court, thus holding her accountable for her rape.

We wouldn't have women's shelters or laws to protect battered women from their batterers. We had to fight tooth and nail for these laws, and only recently were they implemented.

We wouldn't have the right to vote. "Feminists" fought tooth and nail for this right, which we only received 86 years ago. Some of them died to earn us this right.

If you ever are a victim of a crime by a man, you'll be contacting these "feminists" more than the police to help you. They are: victim advocates,women's shelters, lawyers, etc, etc, etc. The list is too vast to name them.

I do think it is time to let go though as what's done is done and now its time to move forward and teach these unevolved men some love but with a no tolerence stance!!!!

I'm not a lesbian (although I am not sure HATING men is what determines sexual preference....... I don't think men are gay because they hate women, for example.)

If you define feminist as someone who thinks women should be valued and have equal human rights as men, then yes, I am a card-carrying feminist. If your definition of feminist is someone who has some anti-male agenda, that's a different story. Equal rights isn't about hating either gender, it's about valuing people regardless of their gender.
Maybe it's just a choice of words but I'm not sure why you feel this way, SO what's the story behind the question?

Throughout the ages, the Goddess was lost, forgotten. Patriarcial rule reigned, the world as we know it crumbled to....crap.

And it is still crumbling....

I am WOMAN hear me ROAR!

I have been burnt, hurt, degrated, devalued, drawn and quartered, burned at the steak, buldgeoned, stoned, misinterpretated, underestimated, god, the list goes on and on.........

But...I take responsibility for what has happened to ME...

I own it!

Now that I know this

I am back, we are back, the GODDESS IS BACK!!!!!!!

Lookout guys, here we come. We are stronger and smarter and beautiful as ever and I know that you have known this all along! And I know that you men are ready for us because you have always been.

I love men, I love the male anatomy, the male persona, the image of masculinity. I love having male friends, I love having male lovers, just love men!!! And...I respect lesbianism.

My very old, 18 year old daughter once told me "androgeny is a quality of the soul..." Yes, when two souls meet, of like mind....
She is an Aries sun, Pisces asc/moon.

I am Pisces sun/Venus(Aries cusp). Jupiter, Mars and Mercury in Aqua. And I am a bit bitter due to failed relationships. I have chosen to remain single for the time being, to really figure out what I really want and need in a man.

So, to address the original topic of this thread...This sensitive, caring, unconditionally loving Pisces sun woman is still the same, just taking time out for me, and for all of my sisters.

Therefore, I believe that Female Empowerment and Male Empowerment are both anti-evolution.

Both serve to segregate and push the opposite sex away.

That's a really good attitude, but it won't work. An abuser can't be saved by love - that is a common misconception by battered women. Maybe you didn't mean it that way - could you elaborate? It could work for certain men or situtations, though, which is why I'd like to hear more.

Scorpionic, I'm a pisces right now and have been all year. I did a progressed year for a day chart and I'm a pisces sun, LOL! How odd. (See my thread, entitled, I'm a Pisces.")

I'm all for peace and understanding, but it's not possible unless people view one another as equals.

Bullsh1t! There is quite a difference between an intelligent woman that wants equal rights for an equal job versus a femi-nazi that just hates men.

The feminists of yesterday would throw-up at the man-hating, bitter women of today. Because of this militant behaviour we see a major backfire of events occuring. Any woman that now climbs the corporate, military or fire department latter is considered "only meeting a quota". Then we have men now wondering what in the hell they are supposed to do on a date. Do they open our door or will that cause the woman to yell 'YOU SOB I can open my own god-damn door!!!"

Or my personal favorite "I'm a damn feminist, I am equal to a man - but you better pay for my meal on our date".

Really... do you really think that is the way it should be?

The feminists did not get the rape shield laws into affect. Women that had been raped decided they would no longer be victims and pushed for their rights. Where were the feminists when women in Iraq and Afghanistan (and yes even Pakistan) were being murdered for showing their elbow?

This is exactly the type of attitude that causes a huge division between men and women. We start over-playing our vaginas and hating their penis's as an attempt to validate ourselves when instead we should be looking at our similarities and how we're BOTH human.

No worries though... for every man hating woman there is a woman hating man- I am sure they have also caused more of the other after their initial meeting - thus creating even more man and woman haters.

Thank God I have a real man
