Women have always been the "great Mystery." In them, all beauty resides, all grace, all creation." Man can build, destroy, build again, but only the "Star-Woman" can create life within her, nourish it, birth it, and care for it.

This is why we men put women upon pedestals, why we cherish her, why we protect her, why we don't want her to do our dirty business of war. Woman is our saving grace, for only she can bring us back from our darkness and into the light.

In my experience it's men with the least contact with women who tend to romanticize them like that. In reality men are more often mentally together and rational than women, there being a reason basically all successful societies were patriarchal to one extent or another.

Speaking as a Married man, my wife is still a mystery to me. And you are right about patriarchal societies. They didn't allow strangers to live among them until they proved they could be part of that society.

Most of our problems today are from women in Congress who feel too much compassion for strangers who shouldn't be here. That may be the problem with most of Europe.

Part of why is likely to simply be the fact that women tend largely to view the world through the lens of how something makes them feel rather than whether or not it is true, which is why their actions seem so random and unconnected to men - the underlying logic seems indiscernible simply because there is none. Idiot compassion is the bane of many a woman for just that reason.
