I feel that I have been Pagan all my life and when I chose to follow Wicca as
the pathway to express my spirituality...I felt that it was a good framework
to break down destructive traditions that have created nueroses in our
society and my particular life...

After examining unschooling and home schooling as well as how I TRULY felt
about public schools, government, institutionalization of anything and
everything, grading curves, how children should be brought up to become
effective and happy members of our society...and comparing my own particular
efforts to get back to the basics of what is important in life as well as
simplifying life...and...I can go on an on...I find that Unschooling is
another reflections of living my beliefs and spirituality.

I am also a radical lesbian feminist (that is one of those labels that gets
tacked on from time to time)...and I just don't agree with how our society
socializes boys to become men...a few years ago I was at a loss of how to
counter that socialization...and now I hope it is not to 'late' to
de-socialize and re-socialize...

Now don't get me wrong...I do NOT hate men...in fact I love them just as much
as I love women...I thoroughly believe that it is a mother's responsibility
to bring up boys to become caring loving fathers and husbands and the
fundamentalist feminist stand that suppression of women is all men's fault
and patriarchal society's fault is quite mistaken. Remember boys come first
from mothers and then from fathers...and I can go on and on about this as
well...

I applaud SAHM's, I don't particularly think that I could be one...but I also
do not think that I can participate in marriage as defined by our society
today either...I have alot of pride for women who choose to stay home and
raise children...I feel that is as much a valid choice for women as the
choice of becoming a career woman or a working mom...or choosing not to have
children...or choosing to have as many children as God sees fit to grant one
family...I feel lucky that God has granted me the determination to make the
choices I have made...if that makes any sense...

Okay...I will stop for now...
Thanks for listening...or is that seeing
