How we got it wrong......

I love this Cherokee Proverb.  It feels so right and true to me and I wonder if we all adopted this - I mean really lived by it - all of us - every person-every nation-every tribe-how wonderful life would be.
What happened? How is that we have strayed so far from this truth.  How is it that man is now feared by woman.  Through the ages, it seems man has caused so much harm to woman.  Raping, murdering, so much violence toward woman.  I don't think many women see men as their 'protectors'.  
Where we went wrong, in my opinion is that we changed one word in the second paragraph...just one word and it seems to have changed the whole dynamic of society.  We changed the word 'protect' to 'provide'.  We have asked our male counterparts to provide for us instead of protect us. I'm not sure where, when, why or how this changed, but I feel it has caused so much harm and discord between the sexes. It put so much pressure on man to be the providers and it was never meant to be this way.  Men were the Hunters and women were the Gatherers. We worked together to provide for each other, our families and our tribes.  How has it happened that all of a sudden it became mans burden to be the sole provider?  How has it happened that we lost the balance between the sexes?  By asking man to provide for woman, we have placed so much burden on him & given him so much power that it made woman seem weak and unable to provide for herself.   She was no longer his equal, but now reliant on him like a child. In reality, God/Goddess is our provider.  God our creator and Mother Earth are our provider of all our food, shelter, water etc.  We were so in tune with that all those years ago when we lived on the land.  Earth provided, we hunted and gathered.  Man protected woman, woman nurtured man back to himself and source. We lived in harmony with God/Goddess, earth and each other.  Man protected woman, he didn't harm her.  Women were revered and celebrated.  We were and are still the life givers. We birthed our families and it was man's highest calling to protect her so that she could keep creating, giving birth and growing our tribes.  Perhaps it all changed when we stopped living on the land. We became disconnected to source and our mother earth. We no longer focused on protecting - 'providing' became our new focus.  It seems we have been raping and pillaging ever since. I long for the old days of living in harmony with the land.  Feeling protected, providing for each other and being in tune with our 'Highest Calling'.  I will never give up my call to lead my man to his soul and as long as he protects me I am free to walk this earth unharmed.  I think we are slowly heading back in that direction.  The age of the Feminine is upon us and it's not to tip the scales in the other direction, but to bring back the balance from being a male dominated society that has been focused on providing for far to long.  I'm sure we can all see that if we don't change our focus to protecting then pretty soon we will have nothing left to protect.  Life needs to come full circle.  We need to get back to the old ways of living in harmony and balance.  This Cherokee Proverb should be our inspiration.  It points the way back home to us and for us so that we can all walk this earth unharmed and in tune with our soul and with Source.  I hear the call, can you?
Namaste.
