Se Alafia Ni
Hope everyone is good tonight. Me I stressin arghhh.
Anyway there has been a lot said lately in the Ifa community concerning women and there ase (ashe) ability or power to make things happen.
This might be the wrong place to bring up this discussion. But try to view from more than a euro point of view and tell me what do you think the role of women is.
Before you all chop my head off. know I am for women power, in the sense of equal to men in mind, maybe superior in spirit hmmm anyway. Why is it (if that is the question are women fighting so much to be a dominant force. I aint mad at cha for being in politics, many of you take care of a home (because we the black man left etc)
What is the balance
Where is the meek woman, where is the woman who knows here strength (should define meekness here) Meekness is the power to crush and yet not crush

Where is the woman who knows the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
there is an Odu which goes as follows

O ni gbogbo ohun ti enia ba n se
Ti ko ba fi ti obinrin kun un
O ni ko le se
O ni ki won o maa fi iba fun obinrin

O ni ti won ba ti fi iba fun obinrin
Ile aye yio maa toro


In anything we do
If we do not guarantee the place of women
That thing will not suceed
[Ifa says] we should acknowledge the power of women
[And that] If we acknowledge their power
The world will be peaceful


This I believe, but why we got to fight all the time. I am not speaking about abuse of women, this is a crime as well as a shame.
But why such the power struggle

Anyway this is for discussion.
I only wonder why we got to fight

maybe superior in spirit

There 'ya go, thinking EuRoPeePeeAn

...and you wonder about the struggle. The matriarchal HERSTORY was suppressed ages ago. Adam had Eve remember....

No stress allowed. Relax, Relate, Release.

Interesting question. Just what is all the fighting about? Dunno. Maybe some women are tense because they are realizing they got sold some wolf tickets with the whole "you can have it all" speeches? I can only guess since my "fights" in the past have been specific to particular people and not really men in general.

Also, what language is this?

quote:

O ni gbogbo ohun ti enia ba n se
Ti ko ba fi ti obinrin kun un
O ni ko le se
O ni ki won o maa fi iba fun obinrin

O ni ti won ba ti fi iba fun obinrin
Ile aye yio maa toro
