Women are connected to their being through their monthly cycle, huge investment and risk in procreation, dependence upon community to co-nurture children, and the dominance of their beings by their feminine sexual organs, and hormonal cycles.
Women as beings confound all rational analysis, and triumph over the war of the mind against mystery. The rational wants to reduce things to their simplicity so that they can be mentally inspected, exchanged, controlled, utilized.
The totality of a woman defies the rational, hence Freud's lament "What does a woman want?"
Women know, and can share the smile of La Giaconda with each other. What men can piecewise guess about women, though never fully understand with their minds, women experience directly through their being, and need no language to confirm it.
The power of the raw demand of Nature upon them gives them an awesome duty and the tools to accomplish it - heightened senses, the ability to endure the pains of childbirth and child-rearing, the creativity to make play and joy of the task of domestic necessity and fulfillment of children's needs.
Add to that ...women can develop all the mental acumen which men live and die with, to which she brings her inner unlanguagable comprehension and capacities.
Knowing women intimately...listening to them without aim. Loving them.2) In what ways do you further your belief?
My desire to "Accomplish" an emulation of womanhood is self defeating.3) Aside from the physical attributes, has there been anything within your beliefs that keep you from being all the woman you think you can be?

Womanhood is not an "it" that can be cloned. It is a consciousness and a being-ness that must be grown into, and an array of sense capacities that only Grace can confer upon a humble, hopeful man.
