Blessed Love Empress I, give thankhs for the glory of Her Imperial Highness Mama Menen I. As I Ras Goddess mentions, I think in both cases it is the life and Ixample that I&I need to focus on. Personally I never think of anyone or anything as "dead", only gone from the physical body. So I dont have an issue with the statement that Menen I left the body. I dont have an issue with the possibility that Ras Tafari left the body either, although as many Idrens pointed out, this has not been shown to be the case and in fact cover ups reveal the situation is not as cut and dry as the situation of Menen I leaving flesh.
But we have to be careful not to turn this into a sex battle. In this Iwah, Inity is crucially needed between the sexes.
Ras Tafari culture is the only one I have experienced that gives honor as RASpect to wombman as an equally strong and able partner, not as a piece of property or someone to be responsible for as a child, but as an Lioness, an Empress, and a Goddess, and at the same time acknowledges the Fyah within Man and Man's Ibility to walk in autonomy and strength. Maybe the balance is not perfect but I see many strong Empresses emerging, and I see positivity in the gender relations within Ras Tafari. In the west I see men downgraded, made fun of and made to seem incapable of simple tasks, and women many times immasculating their husbands. In other cultures I see wombman is still downpressed and not allowed to make choices for herself. Ras Tafari Livity and culture show I&I the greatest balance so far, and I think this is something we should be praising. I never felt like just because people say Selahsie I Na Dead and dont mention the same about Menen I, that this is giving less RASpect to wombman than man.
In Iwombman sIght, it is not patriarchal that Ras Tafari's bones cannot be found, it is just the fact. Had the body and bones of Menen I gone missing before anyone confirmed she pass flesh, I&I would be saying the same thing about Menen I, and it would not be matriarchal to say so.
Oneness of Everything
Give thankhs for JAH love + life
