A Merry Christmas to all you girls and boys who avidly read the blogs I write for my friend Revolting, and especially to those of you who have bought my books, 'The Denial of Woman,' 'Men and Matriarchy', 'The World in Blue and Brown,' and so on.
I love this time of year. I think of my namesake, Mary, heavy with child, and how lovely it s to be pregnant. It's what it's all about really. How happy Our Lady, the Mother of God, must have been!
Her child, the Son of God, was a boy!
I know that a lot of Vichy Feminists either deny God completely, or would like Mary's boy child to be differently gendered, but they are sadly mistaken.
In Jesus Christ, God's love is sacrificial. Jesus suffers an awful death for our sake - that's you and me, girls. Not only do boys grow up knowing that they must sacrifice their health and lives for us, such selfless love is in the nature of the male of the species. It is how he loves.
In the very act of love, that great mass of masculine energy gives up his strength to us girls, and suffers a little 'death'. How wonderful it is to hold the inert body of a powerful man, like Mary holding the body of the crucified Christ in Michelangelo's sculpture, the 'Pieta'.
Christmas reminds me how lucky I am to be a girl, to be a mother like Mary, to have given birth to a wonderful boy child.
I think those Vichy Feminists are crazy. Who wants to be God when we are loved by God!?!
