Re: Beyond the 'third sex'
Posted By: Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:49 pm  |
This is the summary of 'Sanctifying Misandry : Goddess Ideology and the Fall of
Man' : "To set the stage, the authors discuss two massively popular books - Dan
Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Riane Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade - both of
which rely on a feminist conspiracy theory of history [?]. They then show how
some goddess feminists and their academic supporters have turned what Christians
know as the Fall of Man into the fall of men. On this interpretation, presented
in three "documentary" films, our ancestors once lived in an egalitarian
paradise under the aegis of a benevolent great goddess. But men either rebelled
or invaded, replacing the goddess with gods and establishing patriarchies that
have oppressed women ever since. In the end, however, women will restore the
goddess and therefore paradise as well. The authors critique this belief and
compellingly show how it has encouraged the widespread misandry in popular
culture. They conclude with several case studies of modern goddess religion and
its effects on mainstream religion."

That's all very well, but the premises are not sound. Goddesses were not exactly
replaced by God. Nor were the goddesses absorbed in God. Rather, the
"compassionate and the merciful", whether in Judaism, in Christianity to a
fuller extent and, to an even fuller extent in Islam, was canonically, so to
speak, dressed as a masculine one, under a plethora of masculine names and
titles.

"The prophets in the Old Testament were repeatedly chastising and warning the
people against idolatry, ie, moon worship. Hosea criticizes the people for it :
'They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills,
under oaks and poplars and elms' (Hosea 4 vs. 13). Hosea prophesizes what Yahweh
will do : 'I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new
moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts' (Hosea 2 vs. 11). This
prophecy did occur for the moon goddesses' new moon rites ; feast days and
Sabbaths were taken over by the male god Yahweh. They became his edits through
the Ten Commandments and laws of Deuteronomy. The Moon Goddess's rituals became
the rites of a jealous, warring, and punishing masculine deity. Judaism,
Christianity and Islam all absorbed and adopted all the customs of moon worship.
Judaism and Islam base their holy days on the lunar calendar.
The Hebrew Sabbath was adopted from Babylonian moon worship. In Babylon, the
full moon was the day of rest. The word sabattu comes from Sa-bat and means
Heart-rest ; it is the day of rest, which the moon takes when full, for at that
time it is neither increasing nor decreasing. On this day, which is the direct
forerunner of the Sabbath, it was considered unlucky to do any work or to eat
cooked food or to go on a journey. These are the things that are prohibited to
the menstruating woman. On the day of the moon's menstruation everyone, whether
man or woman, was subject to the similar restrictions, for the taboo of the
menstruating woman was on all. (...) The Babylonian 'sabattu' was the 'evil day'
of the moon goddess Ishtar, when it is not unlikely that she was thought to be
actually menstruating." (S. Karimah, Moon Goddess, p. 31)

As far as Allah is concerned, see 'Moon-O-Theism : A Study of Mideast Moon-God
Religion', especially the chapter called 'The Vulviform Black Stone With Its
Silver Casing'.

As to the mother school of the theories in question, it is, to the best of our
knowledge, the neo-Marxist so-called Frankfurt School.

Still it would not hurt to have available information on the most recent
developments in this field as to oversee the implications of these anti-idea's.
A general one is that sectarianism already manifest on the religious and social
plane, is now present in the sexual realm.

been reviewed on this list, but we'd imagine other works have become available
in the meantine. Funny enough (or not so), the latest title we found by both
authors was titled 'Sanctifying Misandry: Goddess Ideology and the Fall of Man'.
