My journey of faith to manifest a peaceful and joyful relationship with my husband has brought me through a journey of studying divine feminine energy, as well as masculine and feminine polarity (note that these things are RELATED but are very different things).
It has shown me how much cartoons, sitcoms, and movies have influenced me as a child and carrying forward to despise certain feminine energy characteristics – and to despise the positive, polarizing effects that these characteristics have on a man to inspire him to be more positively masculine. This polarity which inspires men to the kind of courage that gives him power to be the heroes who would never cower when they saw a crime happening on the street.
I was taught by media that men are controlling, stupid, easily manipulated, and overly sexual to the point of addiction and deviance. Not to be trusted.
I was also taught this by experience from the time I was a toddler and was molested and brutalized by men, and then repeatedly beaten by a male child as a youth and nobody came to my rescue… there were no heroes in my mind.
