I agree, the bible was written by men to gain control over the gullbile masses, now we have goddess books written by women seeking pretty much the same thing - of course, there were plenty of gods and goddesses before the bible, which is why the bible was written with that thing about having no other gods before me...but it's all about power. After all, once someone says their opinion is "the voice of the god(dess)," that pretty much makes it unquestionable, right?
Of course, guys, if you're really unscrupulous you'll just pretend to go along with whatever nonsense she spouts until she fills your needs, then dump her...from what women have told me about their pasts, they must like that because they keep dating those kinda guys...
(For those without a clue, yes, I'm being sarcastic - though there is a grain of reality in there. Can't count the number of women who complain about dating jerks, but seem to flock to them like moths to a flame....) | |

Posted: 7/14/2006 9:12:24 PM | | Right-To most guys,these terms scream'SPOILED!'.Usually good-looking women who are daddy's girl or who have been told one too many times how hot they are.We as men have to stop with this foolishness of putting women on a pedestal-A healthy dose of respect is ok,but idolizing?No way.I don't think of religion when i hear a woman refer to herself as a goddess. | |

Posted: 7/31/2006 9:19:40 AM | And I don't believe in the Bible, any of the 26 (?) versions? It was written by men with the intent to gain control over the masses and it worked wonders...and lead to the death of countless men, women, and children.
We may have more in common than you think.
Death's blamed on the Bible"
The Christian Crusades
Roman Pagen Occupation of Asia
The Extermination of Jews in Europe
The Middle East Wars.....ect.
My sweet, innocent quasi-interlectual girl if you were more older and wiser, you would realize that these events were started by mad men not the authors of that piece of litature. The basic philospical beliefs are what seperates mankind from the lower species. Even though presented by less educated men than yourself they were very wise. You can put what the politician refere to as a "spin" on any written material that is set in stone and used for any perverted quest of perverted minds. I think you wrong about the authors ,but dead on about how it is used. Jusdan | |

Egads ! The moment a guy hears a woman describe herself as "princess" or "goddess" , he runs in the opposite direction. It screams "It's all about me !" to a guy.
Maybe the ladies view it differently than most guys do but just as a little FYI , it's a good way to scare off Mr. Right. The connotations are simply too powerfully embedded with those terms when used self-descriptively. Sorry but that's just how most guys (at least, the ones I know) see things.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. I think the perception is actually quite general amongst us guys.
So that's the question then : are some of you fine ladies conscious of the impact these terms have on your potential dating life ?
I doubt it. A lot of people are only interested in the here and now and not at all interested in how today's actions may affect them tomorrow. | |

Posted: 8/1/2006 1:08:53 PM | Geez folks! Lighten UP!
If my lady wants to call herself a "goddess" or a "princess" or WHATEVER, it's okay. One of the reasons the genders have such a problem is that everyone takes so much innocent playing to heart! Dang!
If she says she's your 'sugar' do you see her as a pile of crystal from a cane plant?
If she says she's your 'honey' do you see bees throwing up around her?
It's just a way of reaffirming to herself that she's a woman. What's wrong with that? | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 11:38:58 AM | | The reaffirmation of being a woman is done by her man. If he has done it right she knows she is a woman. I see no reason she can't in her mind call herself anything she wants, to promote herself to herself to build self esteem. But I hardly believe that calling one's self a "Barfing Bee" can in any way cojure up an image to equal a powerful goddess or the lofty princess. These are images of POWER!! No one except the perverted souls wants to be dominated by a princess or have to try to equal a goddess. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 11:56:04 AM | I have to say it too. "Queen", "Princess", or "Goddess" sends the message that the woman might be rather lacking in the generousity and compromise departments.
I realize that the intent of these types of names may be something completely different, but be aware that the perception amongst many men (see the previous posts in this thread) is not of power, but of selfishness.
As in dating, like politics, perception is reality. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 12:03:03 PM | IIRC the Goddess bit usually stems either from Deism, Wiccan (pagan) or trendy trinkets and jewelry one can buy in chain stores.
No need to be intimidated as most of these are spiritual concepts and not usually religious. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 12:34:16 PM | I believe any woman who must proclaim herself as a "goddess" has no idea what it means.
A true goddess just keeps it to herself. It's a personal thing. What part of "inner" do these women not understand.
If your powerful, you know it. What's the point in explaining it? Just live it. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 1:02:57 PM | I'm an agnostic, but I respect the right of others to have whatever religious beliefs they want. As long as they don't try to force their beliefs on others, or hurt others in any way, who cares?
Neo feminists get on my nerves, but if there is a connection between them and paganism, it's news to me. | |
