Women & Goddesses

Dance of the Spirits A Novel by Sanjai Velayudhan

Sometimes, I wonder 'are men inherently afraid of women?' Is that why they try to dominate them, hurt them or 'possess' them? Strange isn't it? He grows up learning much from his mother, sister, aunt and other female members of the household as much as he does from men.

Then why this contempt? men sometimes exhibit diametrically opposite behavior-treating real women badly but venerating and worshiping mother goddesses. Irony!
