“There is no hierarchy in the cells of our body, for instance in a eukaryotic cell the most basic and common type there is no hierarchy. Everything is in a mutually dependent relationship. However, if that cell mutates, the mutation of that cell spreads to further mutate other cells and then a power-over system begins in the body, a hierarchy is created. These mutated cells are called cancerous cells. A power-over system in biology creates a mono-culture of sickness and disease that destroys diversity and leads to death. And a power-over system in society and in our culture, does the same.”

The individuals involved need the mature feminine to bring them into their mature masculine and they need mature masculine and feminine structures to govern them with individual help and support available, in any such transition.”

“masculine has searched for differences as an excuse to engage in power-over behaviour: whites against blacks; religious wars; gang violence; football club rivalry; political party rivalry; North vs. South, East vs. West, this side of the river vs. that side, etc.”
