I retain a high level of skepticism around the metaphysical concepts as buttresses or counter-metaphysics grounded in alternative theology. Things can become sophisticated as smart feminists and others can take these as the narrative structures from within the faith rather than a secular alternative imposed forcefully from outside it. The ultimate reductio ad absurdum of a white, male God — preferably Dutch-Canadian? (I can dream) — is the image — literally — of Obi-Wan Kenobi on the mantles of some mom’s homes where the sons, more likely, point out that it’s a Star Wars caricature. The importantmotion is worship beyond oneself, while the larger anthropological point is that humanity has always characterized the gods in our images. The Christians and others have traditionally been at the forefront of a contemporary abstract, even mathematically and morally encoded Lawgiver and sustainer. As of now, that took a lot of work, though, from some very, very smart people. The Sacred Feminine isn’t anthropomorphic in its entirety, while not abstract completely abstract, either, as it would be the ‘Matriarchal Black Female.’ It’s an in-between method to provide theological interpretive justification for women’s equality in a faith. However, to invert and half-abstract from the white male god to the divine woman, the “Sacred Black Feminine,” is this not to commit the same error as the Caucasian Patriarch implied by some imagery of the faithful?
