I think what was ment here is more a case of how important it is to you that there is a female part of the divine. Well that was how I interprated it.
Personaly haveing never felt opressed in my femininaty or felt my femanin spirituality to be undervalued I don't place a huge importance on there being a female divine. I can understand why it would be important to those brought up conditioned to believe in only one gender creators.

I answered all the questions but I don't think I was the best person to answer them, dispite my belief in the goddess and god I believe each are mans interpritations on a greater thing. The ultimat divine for me has no gender. What on earth would it need gender for? Humans couldn't relate to this and so they found pathways to the divine of their own. Gods, Goddesses, Angles, Jesus, Mary it's all the same. Even Jesus in the bible says that the way to God is through him, because man cannot hope to come close to such a universal being in our manifested presance.

I'm not sure I was the right person to answer this either, but I answered everything honestly, and I suppose that's the best I can do. Interesting questions.
