Frieda and the Guad.

Mexico adores two women. One is a spotless, miracle producing, virgin and the other a bisexual, uni-brow who drank and smoked heavily. Strange heroines. Both involved with men named Diago. Hummmmm.
I always have found the idea of Virgin woman producing off spring to be as weird a concept as any distorted sexual view of w omens nature. I have been contemplating the distance between these female icons for over  two years of living in Mexico. I knew little of either of them before coming here.

It seems that Frieda was as wild as The Guad was pure.


 Do Mexican men visualize their women somewhere in between? 
I suspect Mexican women walk the line of polarity.
Does he want the sweet purity of the Virgin? The one who can lift him from his poverty mindset to the heights of recognition.
Do the "Roses" she gives him verify his worth?
If he "prays"to her will she deliver the fruits of his loin, bearing him the golden prize, a MALE child.
And if not , can he denounce her purity and feel justified in her joining the ranks of the beaten? No guilt there.

Or should she be strong enough to be the "wild " Frieda? How can he live with that? Could he accept his wife's bisexual nature, her drinking,her passionate art?
Her SUCCESSES?

I believe these two women offer the far ends of the spectrum of polarity. Because there is such strong worship of the one there must be the other.Where there is light there must be darkness.

And I ask, is it possible to live in the glare of the bright white light or the deepest darkness?
Do real women need to be on this spectrum. Is this WHY the world is so out of balance.. 
I can only say , that as a woman I feel the need to balance all the aspects of my nature and hopefully that will affect the world. 



I also hope these unbalanced stories of woman fade like distant memories of cultures that were on a path to evolution and moved beyond them to higher levels of thought.
