How to Value and Respect Women - October Publisher's Editorial

The report God made the first man is a continuing discussion.  Who gave birth to the rest is not. ~Magi Aata

The key to human survival lies in humanity learning to respect and value women. Mark Twain once commented, “What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman?”  His response to his own question was, “They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.”  

Women have survived physical and emotional trauma at the hands of males from the beginning of prehistory to the present.  The film project “Coming of the Red Rain” dramatizes the uncivilized behavior of males is consistent in any era.

Four prehistoric males return from a hunt carrying the animal they have killed.  It is food for their village.  The scent of a young woman distracts them.  They drop former prey for new prey.

They track the woman’s scent and surround her.  They subdue her and then fight over who will have her first.  They drag her to a cave.  Last man standing will sexually brutalize her first and others will follow in turn of their fall.  When they finish they leave her and are back to business as usual.

What is the difference between the behavior of these prehistoric males and the behavior of four contemporary males in a club on a weekend night who drug a woman’s drink and drag her to a cave called hotel.  When they finish they leave her and are back to business as usual.


Coming of the Red Rain

Women are valuable to life and not commodity for selling products or being the products of sex trafficking, slaverypornography (Huffington Post) or any other commercially exploitive industry.  Women are valuable because there is no human life without women. The best of us and the worst of us have arrived at life though the belly womb of a woman.  There are no exceptions.

The better amongst us seek to bring joy to the women in our lives.  The smile alone of the right woman is more valuable than money.  The smile affirms life and empowers life to further development.

Men and women respect and value women when love, respect, and honor for women are normative human behaviors, the rule and not the exception.  Women deserve, as do all other humans, to live without fear of violence or exploitation.  Where women are present, life energy powers action.

Women free to live out their own faith and values inspire creativity by their presence. Women free to make sexual choices in their own interests without threat or intimidation give birth to a better world.

If you are a follower of the Lady in the Spotlight, you are committed to making the world a better place for women and all women influence.  Do this by daily committing to honor and respect women with your best gifts of love and care.  When you do, watch women give themselves to the healing of our world.
