Lest you think that Sacred Whores are limited to the beauty sirens that we see or hear about with the way they work their bodies, I heartily commend all the Sacred Whores in history that knew (and know today) how to bedevil the masses with their minds as well.
To list just a few: Veronica Franco, Ninon de Lenclos, Emilie du Chatelet, and Germaine du Stael…….not to mention Marie Curie, the only person ever to win TWO Nobel prizes (in Physics and in Chemistry).
I dare anyone to challenge the notion that a man can truly be intimidated by a woman of immense intelligence. In fact, I think what we saw is the reaction of being awestruck by women who aren’t afraid of exploring new dimensions in the sciences and technology. Personally, I think the world craves more women who speak up and act out. The woman’s mind is in too many regions of the world an untapped resource of ideas and solutions.
I agree women’s minds are an untapped resource in many places. I’d like to see you write more about that, Thalia.
