What is it with women and the goddess complex?
Do women have hard time connecting to religion with the monotheists concept of 'God the Father'?
Here are a few sites to give you some background.

I've always been in favor of worshiping women. (Although have no interest in licking their boots and being whipped.)
I never could understand physical abuse towards women.
Sure I like to make women shake and quiver - but not from beating them.
If someone pisses me off that bad...then for the sake of inner peace...if it doesn't fit I must acquit.
I always thought that without women, life would be very, very, very hard to live.
They say that to be happy you need:
Something to do
Something to look forward to
Someone to love
Someone to love you
Women help fill the void for the love category of this equation.
Sexual cults are becoming more popular now where devotees (usually men) get dominated by women and the men take the abuse from 'the goddess.'
Guess it is nothing new, more of a modern twist on bondage.
But the idea of goddess and devotee used in such sexual relationships is more of a modern development. As the ancient goddesses were in the form of statues and not in the flesh.
What are your views on modern women and the goddess complex?
