superior to the other. This sets up a division of capability and authority with the consequent development of superiority-inferiority relationships in the two areas of responsibility. But it wasn't one of equal reciprocity. While females are obviously superior to males in nurturing, sensitivity to others and concern for them and inferior in strength, size, hunting ability and technical (left brain) achievements, it was not a fair offset against the males' areas of superiority. Destiny is not an "equal opportunity employer." Thus while theoretically the division of responsibility was equal, the males figured they were "more equal" than the females and with their greater physical strength and size, the fact that in the sex act they had the aggres- sive role, they took over and enforced their ideas of the division of ability and responsibility. The women were converted to the servants of men and were kept "barefoot and pregnant" over the centuries.

But underneath all this social arrangement was the unchanging fact that males were developing a right-handed, left-brained society and women were in effect in it but not of it. I hasten to say that they had the capacity of being as functional in it as if they were given the opportunity, but with few outstanding historical exceptions like Queens Hatshepsut and Cleopatra of Egypt, and in more modern times Catherine the Great of Russia, Elizabeth I of England, Joan of Arc of France and others that I can't think of, women were not given that opportunity. Women were left to their nurturing, creative, artistic tasks and in short stayed in tune with their right brain abilities and potentials. So where does this leave modern humans? It leaves men living in and largely functioning on a left brain level-with of course specific exceptions of architects, artists, musicans, and psychics of various kinds, and women while living in and having to contend with a left-brained world remaining much more proficient in right-brained potentials than the men.

Now do you begin to see why there is a drive towards "unity"—a coming together in non-sexual ways between men and women? In effect the left brain is seeking wholeness by acquiring right-brained functions through a woman, while the woman is seeking left brain benefits through association with a man. Together they make one whole complete person. The FP at the same time is unknowingly seeking the same thing, seeking entrance into and expression of his right-brained potential which cannot generally be accomplished while tied into the left-brained world through the uniform of that world—men's clothing. Feminine clothing is the key to, the entrance
