Phil N. Molé: “Given the continuing resistance to gay marriage, and frequent attacks on the rights and characters of bisexuals and homosexuals, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about homophobia lately. I’ve been thinking about the reasons for this intolerance, and why it remains so common.
Among secularists and atheists, it often seems to be thought that homophobia is simply a matter of religious faith. People are supposedly homophobic because their religion tells them any sexual preference other than heterosexuality is sinful, or because they have general repressed attitudes about sexuality that stem from religious belief. But while religion definitely contributes to and enforces homophobia, it can’t reasonably be considered the cause of homophobia. For one thing, plenty of non-religious people are very homophobic. For another, religions get their characters from the societies in which they’re found, so we have to look at the norms of those societies if we want to understand where homophobia comes from.
Homophobia is a consequence of heterosexism, which is the idea that heterosexuality is the normal or “default” sexual preference…”
Excellent article! Clearly the medical community would like to keep things as they are. Once the type of medicine you are suggesting along with regenerative medicine become widespread, most of the current standard procedures will be rejected, not just for their ineffectiveness, but for the damage they cause.
Presently young people choose to become doctors for the money and the prestige. In medical schools they are taught that the human body and mind consist of parts and systems that have nothing to do with one another. Once they start practicing they don’t get rewarded to listen to and educate their patients, and most importantly they earn no income from healthy individuals.
The Old Testament was written between 3,200-2,200 BP in Mesopotamia in a time when a nation could not form without a new religion. These new religions were usually hybridized native and neighboring religions which is why YHWH, the Jewish-Christian Abrahamic god, was never depicted in art.
@Sandra: rediscover your core, your true self. Leave behind stuff that hinders inner growth. Understand that based on our primal nature we are leaders not followers. Inform yourself, expand you knowledge and your awareness, the way it is being done on this and other sensitive subject threads and other sites, boards, blogs, etc.
Read some Riane Eisler who knows a lot about what she calls the dominator system, Merlin Stone, Stephanie Vermeulen, Catherine Blackledge. If you feel that their books speak to you…
Phil N. Molé: “Wishes that people (by which I mean, mostly men) would stop feeling the need to bring up male circumcision every time there’s a discussion of female genital mutilation (FGM). It might seem “fair” and “equal” to you to do so, but it’s not. That’s because the two procedures are widely, signficantly different in terms of harm done, in terms of the reasons for the procedure, and in terms of the larger cultural background of FGM, which is about controlling and suppressing women. Those who want to discuss issues with male circumcision have every right to, but they should do it without hijacking discussions of a very serious women’s issue.”
The pronounced labia took the attention off the much feared clitoris, visually reducing the size of the demonized part that sticks out, giving the vulva an accommodating and passive look in stark contrast to the aggressive look of an erect (and often mutilated) penis, together serving the patriarchal ideology of opposite genders.
Patricia Robinett: “I have never seen so many people so upset. never seen so many 4-letter words. when will they get it that we still do a similar atrocity en masse to baby boys?”
Natural News: “Protein requirements set out by the World Health Organization (WHO) range from a minimum of 0.45 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight to 0.8 grams protein per kilogram. It may increase 1 gram for endurance athletes. One pound equals 0.45 kilograms, so a 150 pound person would weigh about 68 kilograms. Excess protein can cause severe health issues such as dehydration and kidney failure.”
@James: I meant to write FYI to quote you. Now let’s say we agree overall. You should know that I am no authority on any of these subjects, it’s simply a hobby.
I still think that patriarchal elements were around roughly 20,000 years (depending on region). There were some early signs of violent interruption in Europe/Balkans, like the sadistic cave art image of the pregnant woman and the bull in France, etc., that don’t signal egalitarianism/matriarchy.
Phil N. Molé: “Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaks here about the initial support by the American Association of Pediatrics for the proposed practice of “genital nicking” of girls, meant as a “compromise” to American Muslim parents who want to acknowledge the practice of female genital cutting. Thankfully, the AAP has dropped its initial support due to protest. Ayaan Hirsi Ali will be on Stephen Colbert tonight, so be sure to watch.”
The pulling activity points out to the likelihood of ancestral women having pulled on their authentic clitorises for masturbatory purposes in the same way this is still done by males.
Because the inner labia are attached to the clitoral prepuce and together with the outer and inner clitoris constitute one organ, the pulling and resulting sensation would occur in our archaic ancestress whenever they experienced clitoral engorgement, which would stretch the inner labia due to the originally greater thickness and length of the authentic clitoris.
@Jay: “… women CANNOT depend on men to ‘save’ or even help them in this or any discussion. Do that, and you’ll be waiting a long time, and so will your granddaughter’s grandkids.”
Great post and so true. It is sad to see how women refuse to accept facts. As an ecofeminist I feel that a large proportion of women live their lives in a slumber. Sort of like a beauty sleep of denialism.
Why is it so hard to accept the facts? Because it all goes back to us. We the women produce society. We create children, and for the most part we still raise them as mothers, caregivers, teachers, nurses, doctors, educators, voters, consumers, etc. etc…
@Chris: I hope that by beasts you don’t mean animals. Humans in fact are animals. The difference is that wild animals practice natural sexual behavior and humans do not. The result is the perversion of human sexuality. One example is sadism (rape, humiliation, degradation, etc.) or the intention to inflict psychological, emotional and/or physical pain. Another is masochism or the submission to sadism.

@Amen: exactly. If every case of child genital mutilation were to be reported as a crime to the police accompanied with criminal charges in accordance to various laws against assault, child sexual abuse, torture, etc. it would cease to be practiced.
To avoid clitoral castration and as an attempt to replace clitoral tissue lost to castration and regain some of the sensation, women eventually started teaching their pubescent daughters to methodically pull on their inner labia with the help of medicinal plants.
Normally I don’t play matchmaker but this guy has such a unique wish that I simply could not resist. Here is what he is looking for:
A “feminine woman” who is also “beautiful, very liberal and aware that the sexism in our culture MUST change. A confident, brilliant, playful Female, perhaps even a female supremacist, who finds joy in a male who puts her pleasure before his own interest.”
Phil N. Mole: “The only thing comforting about this story is that it shows me that not every bigoted, God-bothering simp is here in the US (or concentrated within Arizona) – a few are lurking across the pond as well. Interesting that Stroud is up in arms over the “false” claim that she thinks homosexuality is an illness, but doesn’t deny that she thinks it can be elminated through prayer or is caused by demons. And here, as someone raised as a Catholic, I always thought demons caused HETEROSEXUAL lust. Sneaky lot, those demons.”
LOL!! It certainly appears to be so. In modern terms ‘it’ would be described as a psychopathic anti-social sadomasochistic pedophilic pathological liar-pervert provided with holy BS immunity from criminal prosecution by likeminded law enforcement, political and business representatives.
Those names have been translated into various languages. The culture and language (dialect/accent) of Spain and Portugal have been strongly influenced by the Phoenicians (Semites), who at some point in history held nearly the entire coastal Mediterranean region under occupation, comparable in method to the Greco-Roman and the Christian Empires.
The initially nearly identical female and male phallus possessing a highly developed sensory system ensured exceptionally easy and quick orgasms and a sense of mutual and equal satisfaction among the sexes.
It’s not about calories but about food quality, freshness, and most of all nutrient density. Eating smaller meals and cutting calories may decrease body fat percentage but it will not make for a healthy body-mind system. If on the other hand you start investing in natural, organic, freshly prepared meals and avoid processed junk, you will eat less because…
Facebook: “Phil N. Molé” – Preventing Homosexuality And Uppity Women In The Womb
Phil N. Molé: “Here’s an example of homophobia and heterosexism in action. This piece discusses some interesting research about possible biochemical influences on sexual orientation, but also discusses some rather disturbing perspectives on that research. Some of the researchers discussed here view homosexuality and even “masculine” behavior on the part of girls/women as abnormalities, and suggest that pre-natal steroid treatments might be a good way of ensuring that girls grow up to fulfill their expected roles as women. And that’s really creepy.”
