Women and sexuality; it has been a popular subject for ages, probably even since the cavemen days. But it is not just a topic for philosophers and elevated conversation at the dinner table. Throughout history, men in power have often tried to control, suppress and even claim women’s sexuality. These men want to take sexuality away from women to be its safe keeper, claiming it is for their own good. Ironically, the men who want to be women’s safe keepers often turn out to be the ones women need safekeeping from in the first place.

The semi-enlightened man

Let me tell you something about a kind of man I keep meeting recently; I call him the semi-enlightened man. It’s a guy who, when you meet him, is quite charming. He’s quick to pay you compliments, teases, and seems outgoing. All good fun. Then, if you end up talking some more and maybe even agreeing to meet each other for a drink, you find out a bit more about him. He often seems to be open to some self-reflection, seems to think about life. What a relief! It is always nice to meet a person who ponders his existence and doesn’t go running for the hills the moment someone utters the words “feelings” or “spiritual”.
