Pillars, not pedestals

Pillars, not pedestals

My lover and I were comparing putting a woman on a pedestal, and how subtly demeaning it is, taking away her rightful place as a co-pillar of functional society. And of course there are more than two genders - and they're all pillars, and none should be put on a pedestal.

This doesn't deny the inherent divinity of each of us, and the validity of adoration in the moment of connection. Just leave us both on the ground, please.

I'd love to hear thoughts on this.

 I completely agree with that.
I think that when we put people up on pedestals, we are thinking that they cannot do anything wrong. Then when they do something wrong they
have a long way to fall.
