More on Male Female

Perhaps, I haven't written in this blog about male/female but it has been a continuing conversation in my life for a very, very long time. So here are some thoughts I had about it once more.

It's been said that women use sex to get intimacy and men use intimacy to get sex.

Everyone laughs when they hear this one because it sounds like each person is "screwing" the other to get what they want. It's really a perfect description of a prostituted.

But when viewed from a wider perspective, it becomes clear that BOTH men and women need sex and intimacy. They just have different ways of getting it and it happens to work out. In this manner, the two most opposite natures within the same species become one

As is mentioned in the Baha'i Faith :

"The male and female are like the two wings of a bird and when
both wings are reinforced with the same impulse the bird of humanity will be
enabled to soar heaven-ward to the summit of progress."

Therefore, it seems to me that our differences are simply the same as that which is opposite to us.
