Women Initiating Courtship, Partnership and Peace
 |
Print: $19.00 Download: $9.50 This book will teach women about men, seduction and Darwin's theory of sexual selection.
When women begin to take the lead in courtship and in choosing and guiding their mates, they are fulfilling their biological role as the drivers of civilization.
Redefining Seduction gives women the skills and confidence to allow themselves to meet, choose and seduce the men they know are right for them.
Combining science, intuition and a personal love story, Redefining Seduction begins the shift to a partnership society in which women and men complement each other's biological strengths in harmony.

Women want romance, men want sex. Of
course, there are countless other needs and goals layered on top of
these, and this book will help you put most of them in perspective,
especially where loving partnership is concerned.
The male-powered movie and advertising industries survive on the
titillation of these basic drives by offering myths and products that
purport to illustrate and satisfy them. That in turn perpetuates the
need for those myths and products. The misinformation only complicates
relations and causes misunderstandings between the sexes.
A quick review of my own life revealed a history of uneven experiences
with men – based on my biological fascination with their bodies, my
fear of the unknown, my low self-esteem, unrealistic expectations (like
being swept off my feet by my Knight in Shining Armor), and going along
with the popular convention of sarcasm in conversation with men. These
were cultural norms, and I hold accountable the culture I inhabit for
my living alone for years and for damaging the men around me. And, as
you know, it’s still happening in every generation.
Most men do not want to be ‘Knights in Shining Armor’. They want to
display how suitable they are for mating, without appearing to be
displaying. They want to feel safe and loved in the arms of an
understanding partner. They want kindness.
Women also want kindness from their mates, and they expect the nice,
kind men to approach them, pursue them, to be the ready-made, perfect
lover, husband, and father to their children. It’s a recipe for
disappointment. Statistics show high divorce rates, women resentful of
men, and forty per cent of American children being raised by single
parents.
Luckily for me, my intuitive seduction of Paul was the genesis of our
partnership research and thus our discovery of Darwin’s theory of
Sexual Selection. On Darwin’s 200th birthday this year, we proudly
announce what the rest of the animal kingdom has been showing us
forever – women are responsible for their own romance and choice of
partnership.
Once we began to understand the roots of human behavior in evolutionary
terms, we applied it to the genesis of war. The first spark of
Redefining Seduction was ignited by the global (mostly-male) media when
they wrote about and published photographs of thousands of (mostly)
women in naked protests inspired by our pro-peace organization BaringWitness.org.
These men treated us with respect, a reaction to our vulnerability,
lying nude and helpless on the earth. That vulnerability was powerful
and, yes, seductive! Thus, the gentle art of Seduction thus became a
political word for us.
This science-based book will clear up most of your misunderstandings of
the opposite sex. If taken to heart, it will lead to women learning to
take responsibility for romance, women no longer waiting, lonely, for
The Call, and the ability of women using their biological feminine
power in partnership with all those lonely men. Once women show men
what they really want, we just might save our species and planet from
men’s displays of prowess.
