            RI-631i  'Definition of "Woman"'


from Ambassador for Mankind


Message # RI-631i for Internet



Lots has been said about this subject
 to make it all very very complicated.

But at a moment when you or someone else
 is stuck in problems which may ruin a life,
 or an episode of life, or a part of life,
  then it is beneficial
   to have a correct definition at hand.



Definition of 'Woman':

        "A woman is someone
          who happens to now have a female body.
         Every woman happens to have been a man
          at earlier lifetimes,
          maybe even as recent as her previous lifetime."


When someone has a woman's body,
 she is likely to play a role, or roles,
  that are associated with female bodies
   because of her own previous lifetimes as a woman,
   or because of what the society expects
     of someone with a female body.

Or she may play a role that she, when she was a man,
 would have liked women to play towards him, then.

In fact there is an infinity of possibilities
 and there is an infinity of ways
  a person can create
    being a woman, a person with a female body.
    (see RI-592i 'How To Look At People' of 5 June 1996)


And she has done ALL the things that men did, and do.

And that is all there is to
 'women the unfathomable',
  women who 'can't be understood by men',
  the 'mystery of women'.

A woman is simply
        "someone who now happens to have a female body".



You could look at, or imagine, how this person was or would be
 if she would have had a male body now:
   Imagine the exactly same person
    instead of having a female body,
     now having a male body.



I hope this solves some mysteries for some,
 and maybe it even saves the life of a few
  who think they have to lie down and be stepped on
   by the opposite sex when they come in close contact with it,
  or who think they have to stand up
   and trample the opposite sex down
    when they come in close enough contact with it.

I hope this also solves some mysteries for
  men who 'can't talk normally to a woman'
 (or for women who 'can't talk normally to men').


        "A woman is a person
          who in many earlier lifetimes was a man,
          but who now happens to have a female body."

        "A man is a person
          who in many earlier lifetimes was a woman,
          but who now happens to have a male body."

        And he has done ALL the things that women did and do.


Let's not be childish about this, or prudent or shy.




Maybe this simple datum
 sweeps away HALF of the self-help books
  from the shelves in the book-store,
 and maybe it does away with ONE QUARTER
  of all religious text books in the world,
 and maybe it makes TWO THIRDS of all textbooks
  on psychiatry and psychology completely superfluous.

If you want to know
 the simple and very workable truth,
  here it is:

        "A woman is a person who now,
         in her present lifetime,
          happens to have a female body."



I am sure there will be, or have already been, some movies about this,
 like these movies
  where an adult suddenly has the body of a child,
  or where a child suddenly has the body of a grown-up,
   and is expected to act in society according to the size of his body.

I find these movies always great fun to watch.
