“"Elohim," the name for the creative power in Genesis, is a female plural, a fact that generations of learned rabbis and Christian theologians have all explained as merely grammatical convention. The King James and most other Bibles translate it as "God," but if you take the grammar literally, it seems to mean "goddesses." Al Shaddai, god of battles, appears later, and YHWH, mispronounced Jehovah, later still.” IfsMeanStillsFactsSeemsChristianNamesCreativeGenerationsFeminismKingsBattleFemaleAlsConventionsGoddessTranslateTheologianGrammarGenesisJehovahRabbiCreative PowerElohim Author:Robert Anton Wilson

“Russia's 62% of women and only 38% men, many of whom are heavy drinkers, so the battle for the female happiness is a rude one, only the slimmest, the leggiest, the blondest and the sexiest are the winners.” MenBattleFemaleHeavyRussiaWinnerRudeDrinkersSexiestHeavy Drinkers Author:Alexander Vassiliev
“I think that female musicians are constantly fighting an uphill battle in general. Even when I'm not writing heartbreak songs... the fact that songwriting is so difficult and music criticism has become so content driven means that sometimes critics can go for the easy descriptors rather than an in-depth analysis.” ThinkingWritingMeanSometimesSongFightingEasyDifficultBattleMusicianFemaleCriticismCriticsDrivenSongwriting Author:Marissa Nadler
