I do not often leave comments, but I wanted to express my appreciation for addressing this topic. I have also observed that the mind has taken a negative connotation in femininity. Although I agree that it is important to be in the body and to feel it, I often felt like a very important part of me was being left out. It was confusing for me to hear that men do not like intellectual women. I think it is not about a woman being too intellectual, but about her energy and her expression as you have stated. One of the movie heroines I love and relate to, is the philosopher Hypatia in the movie 'Agora'. She is an example of a thinking woman who is also deeply feminine.

Thank you so much for this comment. I'm glad you can see the value in what I'm wanting to deliver. I am a dominant sage and have found the men I've been all attracted to my mind. They articulated that so I know there is a missing piece in the space of feminine teachings.

There is a difference between mental intimacy and intellectualizing strategy.

I'm so glad you brought this up. A friend sent me a reel of Hypatia and said she reminded him of me. I did some more homework but found a lot of the same material on her. I'm going to look up this movie.

Thank you very much for your reply, Eleanor! 'Mental intimacy' - I love that expression.
