"Our true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever." ― Andrew Cohen Topic(s): Nature More From Andrew Cohen "Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity." "It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world, both men and women measure women’s value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance." "Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we’re always trying to live up to."
