Dear Mary,

Why must women always be the patient ones, the caring ones, the silent ones?

Why aren't women ever portrayed as strong, independent, intellectual, violent, loud, angry etc. Why is it that men and women have always been defined as being "opposites" - men are strong, women are soft, gentle and kind?????

This thinking denigrates both women AND men. It is hurtful and oppressing. It has taken too long for women to try and shake off these stereotypes that we are either Eve's (evil whores) or Virgin Mary's (deers running in dewey meadows). In many parts of the world, women still have not been able to shake these stereotypes. How many girl-children in India are murdered because they are deemed too expensive (through dowry) or bad labourers?

Why is it that female lives are not as important as male lives in many parts of the world?

Whose interests do you think these "sweet and innocent" images serve Mary?

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
