Ph.D. in October and December 1996. Men revered and respected the mysterious rites of menstruation and child-birth which are central to a woman's femininity. A woman's vagina wasn't looked at as an empty space needing to be filled.
Women are full in themselves.
Unlike men, they have the innate capacity to let another inside them, they can make room for another within themselves. Women have a potential space within which they can allow another in or within which they can allow a whole new form to grow. Men must evolve very far before they develop their capacity for holding a space open within themselves and allowing another inside. A woman's state of self-fulfillment is what the word 'virgin' originally referred to. It had nothing to do with whether or not a woman had intercourse with a man.
