The many faces of incarnations are rooted in as many masculine
weaknesses:

Fear, which created Kali Ma
Greed, which created Lakshmi Ma
Vulnerability, which created Ganesh
Unstable home, which created Bhavani Ma
Cowardice, created Hanuman,
Need for riches, created Tirupati.
Tamas which created Shiva.

Men created God.
Every God is man created, man sustained, with a man for prophet,
man for Massiah, men for priests, men to author scripture, men
to exclusively service ceremonies.

Purohit is a man, pandit is a man, mullah is a man, dastur is a
man, rabbi is a man, monk is a man, yogi is a man, recluse is a man,
renunciate is a man, celibate is a man.

Even the rare instances in which women attained the godhead, it
was in relationship to a man.

Meera attained godhead because of Krishnaji.
Sita attained a doubtful status because of Ramji.
Radha is the Consort because of Girdhar.

In every faith, woman, from whom all Prophets and Gods come,
including Ram and Krishna and Buddha, is relegated to a subservient
position.

For every freedom man enjoys, a dozen bindings are inflicted on
women.

So much so that in many cultures men novices are advised to
beware of Women and Wealth.

A menstruating woman in any number of God's houses risks
instant death.

In many more, her clitoris is ripped off because she is forbidden
pleasure, so she may not stray.

If a husband dies, she is marked like a beast by white clothes. Her
bangles are broken, and she is spoiled second-hand goods,
getting a far lower price on the meat market.

Men's parameters define "perfect". Men spout, so and so is a
Perfect Master. Meanwhile Death is at his back, about to rip
off his head.

So and so reached "perfection". This from someone who has
no idea of the murder about to descent on him tomorrow, nor
the ghosts which come haunting him, from yesterday.

Little men, playing lesser games, having no idea of what is
wasted inside them.

Arya.
