Just as man must sever his connection with nature if he is going to be spiritual in the existing concept of spirituality, so, too, must woman. In doing so, she cuts herself off from precisely what makes her woman.
This is because, in the existing concept, she is seen as the very embodiment of what will lure man “down” to his animal nature: the body.
The natural emanation of who she is must be covered, disguised, kept as invisible as possible through modest dress, diet, and position. Thus, what she must most conceal is her power, because power equals visibility equals threat.
