Why does everyone have to over-analyse this? Is it so important? Will the world end next week before we come to the final answer? I feel the 'other' thread is a wasteful exercise in nothingness, and the more we have to 'define' what we mean by voting this way or that just compounds and expands the problem rather than clarifying it.
Is the world predicated upon such tiny terms as these?
I'm surprised this has to be such a hot button issue. Is the topic of gender and tarot important? I think it's as least as interesting as many of the other things we go on about on the forums. The connection between the concept of intuition and the concept of femininity is as old as the High Priestess card. I'm specifically surprised that you are irked by this topic as you wrote Every Man's Tarot: Tarot and the Male Experience.
From the book description:
"Believing that 98% of Tarot books are written by women for other women, [the author] has used his years of Tarot knowledge and experience to create card meanings that apply to men and men's situations. He removed the coy Victorian concepts stifling the cards and created a male-defined Tarot concept; part Tarot, and part men's life experiences and philosophies, with a touch of locker room talk. This concept applies to all men, straight, gay, or bisexual."
If there was a need for a book on Tarot from the male experience (and I agree that there was and am delighted one has been written) then why is a topic on whether more women read tarot than men verboten?
