Love Horse/Car

[vagabond]

You're the only one who said anything about power. Love has nothing to do with supremacy or superiority or might. It has nothing to do with politics, unless a politics of experience in mutual acceptance and battle. The battles, not between the sexes, but between the masculine and the feminine in each person and in each relationship between two people are the closest to the ideal spiritual battles that replace politics and war. They are higher than cultural wars, and national and religious wars aren't worth mentioning.

A woman can reject a man or leave him or sleep around. Those things have their appeal too. You want to get your revenge by loving her even more, and better. Now, that's hate love stuff. "

you want to tell me this has nothing to do with power? power is ability. the woman can do these things, you imply that the man cannot. that is a difference in power.

I went on a date, and had a wet fart at the table, and my date got disgusted and went home with the waiter. And I somehow was able to make that seem like a victory for me, and I came out the hero of the story. That's how I practice Christianity. . . . You asking me to explain the ways of mortal women, is that part of the joke?
"

if that is christianity and victory, where´s the sacrifice and what kind of sacrifice is it?. you can be sacrificed like some animal in the old religions or you can choose to make a sacrifice. the former has no chance to feel like a victory to me. 

anyway i still don´t quite see you want to say with "the ways of women" (i leave out the distinction between mortal and immortal since i don´t know where gendered gods fit into this topic).

together with the thread´s title i come to believe that you want to say the masculine part of a relationship is the horse and the feminine part is the cart as in the man carries all the effort. or i could interpret it as the horse pulls the cart and the cart is fixed to the horse and can´t choose any other way.
yeah, i see that exists, but i don´t believe it´s the one and only way relationships can work out.
