My Religion casts Women as Leaders above the rule of Men. 😄

But that is not to say Men are worthless. We still respect them for their strength and power.

Women are Matriarchs. Respected for wisdom, grace, and courage.

Men are..... I guess I would have to say 'Warrior' class but this day and age that title has been watered down quite a bit. But they are respected for thier Strength, Bravery, Loyalty, ect.

Where I would put Dolos.. not sure yet. 😛

Oh you think that men are less relevant to the modern world because they are designed to protect the matriarchs?

What if I told you that anyone can override his/her primal urges, and beyond that achieve anything they set their mind to? This notion is preached universally, but it actually has some scientific basis.

There is no better excuse for sexism other than ignorance. However, men do all begin as women in the womb. Which furthers how silly a notion of gender-superiority really is.

At this point in my life my ultimate goal is to become really smart. Brain training, education, they are all limited by your state of mind, your awareness. Meditation, lucid dreaming, out of body experiences and metaconsciousness are techniques to achieve accelerated cognitive processes. I hope to master utilizing these technqiues just for such a purpose. One of my goals in life is to join the High IQ Society, another three are Ph.D.s in physics, math and astronomy.

There are many Religions where a 'Goddess' is central rather than a 'God'. In which many cases the Women preside over.

An example is Dominionism, while it centers around the religion of Christianity it's still considered a political ideology.

Obviously in a world where Men have mostly been the superior sex, even back with Cavemen, It might be said that having a Matriarchal system IS against Primal nature. 😛 but thats just me trying to contradict what you just said and making it sound good at the same time. 😛

And I didnt say Men are less Relevant.. just you. 😄 Cause we like to pick on you.

Well if you just break it down ALL Religion is just Ideas from ancient times.

Ideology is a set of ideas that constitutes one goals, expectations, and actions.

See Dolos, I can pick on Scarlet too.

Right, it's a sociological term. Fascism is one of the ideologies you Americans should be familiar with.

It's true though. A lot of Americans are fascist pricks. America is by no stretch of the imagination fascist, but I'd believe it if it had the greatest number of fascists nationally.

I still dont see a difference. Ideas are still involved. Ideology is still just an Idea, or group of Ideas.

I am not trying to disprove you I am just unfamiliar with the term. Call me ignorant if you want but I see nothing wrong with trying to figure out something one doesnt know. You call it Ignorance, I call it advancement.

you can Google and Wiki something for hours and still only have the basic idea of what something is.

o.o The only difference in an Idea and Ideology is that Ideology is a cluster of Ideas instead of jsut one. But in truth even a cluster of Ideas spring from a Single one. So wouldnt an Idea be the basis of Ideology?

That said, I'm sure that you could learn more than I know of political ideologies in less than five minutes. My understanding of it is basically limited to the vague guidelines of the examples I recall from high school. I may have gotten straight A's through high school, but social sciences never interested me.

Random comments: Now a thread on political ideology, gender roles, philosophy, and Dolos being awkward.

o.o I try to steer clear of Politics. They make my head hurt. I am more the 'Shoot First then Shoot again' type... >_> Not so much anymore actually.

I'm kind of an anarchist at heart. haermm

That's the only logical solution.

Politics, like every money system established throughout history, is inherently flawed.

Go to my Utopia thread if you want to learn about a civilization without any such flaws. Or with a fraction of a trillionth as many flaws.

Tomorrow the take-away Thai restaurant a few blocks from my home opens up after half a month of vacation. It feels like half an eternity since I've last had their Pad Thai.
