Women In Control: Questions about Female Supremacy
Screen 36 of 56
Galli priests, often temple attendants or servants of Cybele and her female representatives, were eunuchs attired in female garb, with long hair fragrant with ointment (representing the masculine taking on the feminine, based on the story of Attis). Together with priestesses, they celebrated the Great Mother's rites with wild music and dancing until their frenzied excitement found its culmination in self-scourging, self-laceration, or exhaustion. Self-emasculation by candidates for the priesthood sometimes accompanied this delirium of worship崇拜侍奉 — adoring service. They would accept flagellation by women for the sins of the patriarchy (male dominance).
What is amazing to me is how the more things change, the more they remain the same. The desires of men to worship崇拜侍奉 — adoring service and serve dominant women have always existed. There are many similarities to what these men did to worship崇拜侍奉 — adoring service women and what men desire today, even though 99% of submissive顺从 — willing to obey men today know nothing about the pagan religion of Cybele, which existed in ancient Greek and Rome thousands of years ago.
