It has been several months since my last post on head coverings. but this has been on my mind for a few weeks and I let it "stew" in my heart and mind for a while so I could discern how I thought about what happened.
A couple of months ago I was in a local store and crossed paths with a woman who was wearing a head covering. As we passed we both said hello and that was all. As soon as we passed I was aware of something happening in my spirit and being that I could not immediately identify. It took a few days for me to actually become aware of what I felt that day as I passed this woman.
What I realized was that I had communicated with a female and in the process had not felt the normal things that I as a man felt when in the presence of most females in our society. These are the feelings I identified.
1. Lack of feeling threatened. I did not feel that I would have to be defensive and deal with the normal feminist agenda that comes across in the clothes or attitudes of much of the world's female population.
2. Lack of sexual attraction and of being drawn with my mind or eyes to have to look at certain areas of the woman's body including the hair.
3. A feeling of overall mutual respect. I actually felt more equal with her as a person. I did not feel she was battling as a female to be better than me or for me to be better than her.
