The www.dhushara.com website has so much on gender and religion!

http://www.dhushara.com/index.htm

The larger web pages (I have already read and discarded) contrast the
Yahweh as patriarchal solar/lunar religion versus Baal as matriarchal
fertility religion. It's a best recap of these principles I have seen.


This page is typical of theirs about gender competitive strategies,
and bears on the distribution of extreme properties due to genetics:

The thrust is simply that human evolution is pivoting naturally around gender 
paradox in a way which capitalizes on the XY arrangement to facilitate male 
sexual selection through this process. However differences are noted between the 
genders in the statistical distribution of cognitive skills, in a way which 
supports the 'Mozart X' concept of Turner.

Smuts suggests that females may have by such evolutionary reliance on male 
resources, inadvertently promoted patriarchal control of the female. You might 
call this the Margaret Thatcher or even the Indira Ghandi phenomenon of 
conservative female power - the 'drone queen' strategy, for just as Indira 
manipulated male instruments of power, so she placed her sons Sanjay and Rajiv 
into the reins. In past times, a powerful female among males could place her 
sons into many positions of power.

However, the dhushara website only writes about the huge patriarchal/matriarchal
difference and is ignorant of the true existance and etiology of the spectacular
singularity of the monogenes christic type based on a morphological male, having
some female type qualities (for he is his own mother, as well as his own father).

My recent thought on the eight well known 3.5 day moon phases suggests this
speculation: That the "new" moon, invisible, hidden in the light of the sun,
is that eighth, naught case of they Egyptian ogdoad, which leaves the seven
visible cases of the Hebrew sabbath, and is the stage of the hermaphroditic
christ. In this solar/lunar union is fulfilled the sayings that the light of
the moon shall be as that of the sun, and the light of the sun as seven days.

A moon phase surely must pertain to the 3.5 days laying slain in Revelation.
They (full, gibbeous, half, crescent, new, crescent, half, gibbeous) seem to
me to correlate to the seven seals, being seven coital situations of a lamb.
