Sappho Speaks: The Third Sex
Lectori Salutem! or L.S. (Greetings to the Reader!)
This is a bit of a far out blog so stay with me as it is a hapless theory I threw together in hopes that there are more people out there like me or at least looking for the same thing I am looking for. I just happen to have some followers who like my concept so I thought I’d send it out into the universe. There are those of us who believe in three sexes: a man, a woman, and a THIRD SEX to be defined in these pages. We all know a woman in this day and age to be a many and varied thing: gay, bisexual and straight, from the boardroom to the mailroom, from security in her relationships to clinging to the one she knows she should have let go long ago. Most women are usually not the aggressors in their relationships, and there is seldom equality in relationships on all levels, just as women currently have equal opportunities to rise and live self-determining lives, but it seems that the reality of that comes to fruition less than what the statement provides. Lingering acculturations continue to hobble many women within themselves and from society that floods them with mixed messages and expectations.
To prove my point, fifty-seven percent of college degrees are now earned by women. They are excelling in all fields of employment including the military, math and science, although still in minority numbers. Why is that? Are women allowing this to continue to occur or is it men who continue to control the glass ceiling? In companies where women are in control the statistic doesn’t change much either. Why do you think this is? One of the reasons may be that women are still referred to even in Webster’s Thesaurus as the following: female, lady, dame, gentlewoman, madam, madame, sen ora, beauty, belle, chick [slang], damsel, doll, gal, ingenue, lass, lassie, mademoiselle, maid, maiden, miss, senorita – five of which would seem complimentary in this country, the other four in other countries and the rest are crass where ever you may be and this is in 2009 and only one is considered slang.
Along another line, women are going to greater lengths to please their mates with plastic surgery to increase their bust line, now something a child dreams of right along with their wedding day as a new trend that the male population has added to it’s list of demands. Sure, most women believe it is their choice but when it has started with the idea planted in your brain before you are even fully developed yourself and then payed for by your special someone, I think the charade has gone a bit too far. It is not for you because the only thing women do for themselves to make improvements is for the envy and jealousy of their friends. Your friends are not into your boobs so this one you cannot wave off like extensions, a great mani/pedi, or a little work done around the eyes – your straight friends may only resent you for them because now the pressure from their husband comes to get the same procedure when they are happy with things the way they are!
So the ideal woman has changed a bit since the Billy Joel song, Modern Woman: “You see her sitting with her coffee and her paper; With her high top sneakers of italian design; With a long cool stare she aggravates the tension; Makes up her face while she makes up her mind“. Don’t worry, it will be one of the Songs Of The Day.
What about the ideal man? He never was such a catch when you look at him through today’s goggles. He worked, put a roof over his family’s head, and food on the table. He provided.He also required his wife to be home all day with the kids, cleaning the house, dinner on the table by 6 P.M. with no talk of your day, just a drink in hand ready to listen to his. His college days and yours if you were lucky enough to go back then and learn about the world you would never inhabit and the dreams of your life that would never come true, it would make life just a little more unbearable but the light of your days were the beautiful children you could talk to of the lessons of life you learned in those books you read and only hope that they would have a better life. Thank God this was the life of your grandmother and possibly your mother and not yours. Feminism is no longer a dirty word and college is now an equal opportunity employer with women doing as well or more often than not better than their male counterparts.
The new man grew out of these campuses and towns where working women were rampant. They would have to learn to work beside them and sometimes as their employees with grace or be fired under the new laws protecting discrimination in the workplace. The really awful men had to learn their lessons the hard way. Others found the new woman sexy and vibrant but were still hoping that the marriage and kidswould change everything and in some cases it did. Others with this same wish thatdidn’t work out found themselves in divorce court. These new men were not as flexibleas they first appeared and they were extremely competitive with the women in their companies resorting to rumors and sabotage that didn’t think was in them. They neverrevealed this side of themselves to their loving wives, some of whom were friends with the women he was competing with.
Through all this compromising of souls on both sides of the gender fence a new sex arose to set the example and the tone and many jumped ship from the old stereotypes to join the THIRD SEX. It is both male and female, gay and straight, bisexual too. The first criteria for this new sex is that all genders and sexual identities have to transcend their previously societal assigned roles. There are no preconceived notions allowed in the THIRD SEX. In the workplace, everyone is equal. The person, no matter whether the wereinvolved with this THIRD SEX, will be treated equally in the workplace and allpromotions will be based on merit only – no seniority, affiliation, nepotism, or gender.Other than that, the THIRD SEX has nothing to do with work.
People of the THIRD SEX care about other people and especially the one they are with to the extent that nothing is expected in return for the kindness, generosity, and loveshown from one person to another. When two people begin a journey of love together, it is a blending of their two cultures that existed in each other’s lives – of everyone they have ever met before so they can create a true partnership anew. They will just feel thatfeeling of melding of the spiritual, the philosophical, the intellectual, and the emotionalon a physical level.
All of their shared experiences are always heightened experiences.
The material world and the physical plane become one while all things coveted shift and come into focus and the exist only in how they can further the journey both members of the THIRD SEX are on. NOTE: A member of the THIRD SEX can fall in love with anyone and bring them on this journey. This is not to say the material world falls away. We stillwork, have jobs to live our dreams of pleasure and utopia in these relationships of equal and glorious love for one another as solemn vows between two joined however they see fit.
Sexuality is fluid an connects with each other on every level and is an art form between two in the divine. As two focus on each other and become one they become all that exists in the realm for their time. The art of kissing is a lost art, one that men and women have forgotten it’s power. Dive into each other and explore your inner consciousness and see what you can find and if you can restrain yourselves long enough for your oneness to be felt from head to toe. Then you will know you are the THIRD SEX and life is yours for the taking.
Much Love.
