text: why is sacred femininity so threatening to so many? powerful religious women seem to be a threat to the male-oriented religions.  why is this?  even in the "davinci code," a work of pure fiction, one of the things that upset people was the idea that the holy grail was mary magdalene's womb.  why is the sacred feminine so scary to so many?  not just men--women seem to have just as much of an aversion to it. most religious systems are controlled by men. so that is their reason for not liking this, power and control is threatened. the other women who voice the same thing have identified with their 'oppressor', the men, and parrot the same attitudes.  watch me get some thumbs down for this one.
