>The root of the problem lies in a social system in which the power of the blade is idealized–in which both men and women are taught to equate true masculinity with violence and dominance and to see men who do not conform to this idea as 'too soft' or 'effeminate.'
Pg. XVIII 'Chalice and the Blade'
Found this book and gave it a readaroo after it was mentioned in 'Ishmael'. Wouldn't recommended Chalice and the Blade unless you're super interested.
Anyways, does this resonate truth? I feel like it isn't too far off the mark, but maybe.
But more seriously, I agree. If you think that all masculinity is brutal nonsense, then of course feminists are going to feel justified in acting brutal.
As commonly discussed 'toxic masculinity' is stupid, but we *do* need to have a proactive and healthy vision for masculinity.

>This feels like a ripoff of Tantra Because it is in most ways. Jewish peoples have adopted ancient pagan practices.

Christianity is based on pagan worship of the sun. Hence "Sunday".

Yeah, my standing theory is that most of Kabbalah is just Judaicized/Talmudized Tantra. The worst parts of Kabbalah remind me that folks should just throw it out and go the source.
That said, there are entire areas of Jewish Mysticism that aren't full of shit.

Christianity definitely has "pagan" influences, but please do more than point to the names of the days of the week.

> Seal of Solomon
The Seal of Solomon is traditionally a five-pointed star. that said, the Seals of David and Solomon are Kabbalistic blasphemies that lead to heresies like Sabbatai Tzvi.

I bet he doesn't even know who Tyr is, or which day of the week he correlates to.

Is there a tl;dr? This page is difficult to read/incoherent. Basically what I'm saying is the page has to much going on for me to nail down how you think these things are related.
