Truism or sarcasm, the Chinese have a colloquial saying which goes, "Never seen a big snake poo". What impresses one may be a matter of fact for another which is why balance/stability/self-confidence is when there is no worship nor saviourship/denigration. Belief/acceptance is empowerment through femininity whereas disbelief/rejection is empowerment through masculinity. One can bear almost anything, especialy childbirth, whislt the other can bear almost nothing which is why men fear pain more than women, the real ones, not the modern-day golden-balled, touch-me-not, airy-fairies and their tag-along pansies.
