An elusive construct imbued with multiple meanings,spirituality has been defined in the research literature as the process of seeking personal authenticity, genuineness, and wholeness; transcending one’s current locus of centricity (i.e.,recognizing concerns beyond oneself); developing a greater connectedness to self and others through relationships and community; deriving meaning, purpose, and direction in life; and openness to exploring a relationship with a higher power or powers that transcend human existence and human knowing.
That's a non-significant difference - 22% vs 18%.In terms of behavioral indicators of religiousness, 22% of women and 18% of men were deeply engaged in religious practices; — Emptyheady
Probably.Similar to the differences on the religious measures, women scored higher than men did on dimensions related to spirituality, spiritual quest, and self-rated spiritual/religious growth; — Emptyheady
Yes.An outward extension of their inner spiritual sensitivities, women also tended to be more involved in charitable activities, concerned with social activism, and more likely than men to perceive themselves as compassionate individuals; — Emptyheady
Because there are biological, physical and spiritual differences between the sexes. So women are generally more attuned to their bodies, more at peace with themselves, focused on compassion, love and care, whereas men are more competitive and conflictual and focused on the mind. But these are generalities, you can always find exceptions. Why it's like this? Because men and women have played different roles historically, and each has become adapted to play their specific role better than the other. Men will generally for example be physically stronger - they usually had to fight, to defend, to hunt. Women on the other hand will be emotionally attuned, focused on others' well-being and comfort, focused on conflict resolution and unity. Both are required, for example, in a successful family. If it's just the man, then the family is like a military, there is no love and compassion, or care between the members beyond mere utility. If it's just the woman then the family has no direction, no strength and no vigour.Why are women more spiritual than men? — Emptyheady
But the modern day feminazis want to erase all the differences because somehow, the fact that women are attuned to deal better with a different set of matters than men, that to them means that women are oppressed and inferior (because despite what they profess to think, they really act as if women were inferior - as if, somehow, being able to deal with the situations they are able to deal somehow makes them "inferior"). — Agustino
That's a non-significant difference - 22% vs 18%. — Agustino
more at peace with themselves — Agustino
That so called insecurity is merely a trick they use to get attention.Women 'more at peace with themselves'. lol. — Emptyheady
But I like to view women as angels, that's why I hate those who aren't ;) — Agustino
Is this Professor a feminazi? :P The curious thing BC, is that women actually treat us men like beasts of the field who can't control themselves - at least that's the attitude I've encountered. So if a man were to cheat, very often the woman won't be as mad at the man (unless he persists in it, or when confronted refuses to do anything about it) but she will be fucking mad at the other woman, and will go after her >:O This underlies the common thought (which is I have to admit, for many men) quite often true: men are often unable to control their sexual impulses and can be very easily seduced. But for us men, if our wife or girlfriend cheats - then we don't go after the other guy, we have a problem with her as well - because we assume, just like she would assume about the woman we cheated with, that she seduced the guy, who just couldn't control himself. So it's interesting - by receiving the blame, women are actually playing a game in which they are superior, they are the ones who can control themselves, unlike men who are weak and fall for every little bit of skin they can see.It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you wrote in the words of you're song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many good girls to go wrong.
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever been broken
Was because there always was a man to blame. — Bitter Crank
I agree entirely to this.Could it be that women are "more religiously [or spiritually] oriented because it fits their material/maternal circumstances? — Bitter Crank
I disagree that men were superior to women through history. Now that's just revisionism and it's just false. You say that, and it kinda assumes that men kept women by design in those positions. That men were in charge, and they allocated the woman the position they should have, and they allocated themselves the position they should have. But this is precisely false. The positions were allocated by the biological and natural differences that exist between the sexes in combination with the material circumstances.In any case, men dominated the field of religion (as "men are naturally wont to do". Here, Miss, let us manage the church -- keep praying, just stay out of the important meetings. And don't get any big ideas either. — Bitter Crank
If I go have a sex change, can I not refrain then? Will I be permitted and indulged? ;)You are culturally oppressing me with your opinion, please refrain, sir. — Heister Eggcart
Okay bruv, you'll fuck me till I love you I get it manWho says I'm forcing you, though? You forget, Agustino, that I still believe in the powar of luv, brah. — Heister Eggcart
Oh yes, I even have many black friends/acquaintances. You forget I've lived and worked in the West for quite some time.Have you even met a black person before, Agu? — Heister Eggcart
