Women give birth to children. This creative process is outside of the scope of a man’s ability to plant seed in his woman, and perhaps outside the scope of understanding beyond the need to have sex with an ideal of sexuality. Birthing transforms life forms, reshapes families, relationships, and women’s bodies. Birthing a child changes a mother’s relationship with life, beauty, need, health, work, fashion, and the dreams she held, since her own birth, for herself. Because the journey from immaturity towards maturity is necessary who decided a woman’s beauty, and her body is supposed to remain in the immature state of a 20-something year old woman? Is the survival habit of compliance so deeply ingrained within women that the acceptance of the fashion industry’s standard as their standard so easily donned as apparel? What happened within the struggle for equality, for the rights of woman in their country, or the long fight from the inquisition period of Europe to the shores of the Red Man?
Homosexual men dominate the fashion industry. What is as yet unearthed within that paradigm that works against women, and their assessment of self, and womanhood; African in particular? This subject is an immature women’s forbidden zone. They don’t have the divinity, and the depth of maturity to approach the subject in private or in public because the fear of the Gay community’s political power, but that influence courses deep within the inner woman making decisions for them. On the other hand religious establishments prefer old women, not the Wise Women, the Old Crones. If the initiatory approach to the three stages of a woman’s growth is deleted from religious practice what hope is there of women aging with power, insight, depth, beauty, and mystery, or developing the prerequisite allure of an older woman’s sensuality?
