It's not an attack- at least I don't intend it to be; it's just how I feel, and wanted to see what the I Ching tells me about that.In general, one could take your attitude as an attack on mothers. It's as if you're saying that once a women has given birth, that's it, she is finished, washed up, and has no more choices, or tasks, or paths in life. Is that what you're intending? It's certainly not what I think 35 is saying.

Okay, good to know.It's not an attack- at least I don't intend it to be; it's just how I feel, and wanted to see what the I Ching tells me about that.
Yes, UC is 'unchanging', meaning a hexgram with no changing/moving lines.... is OTM
If you are referring to my commen above, I never described it as an 'overwhelmingly postitive answer'. I said it's about ....I suppose this is similar to the comment written above, but I do not necessarily see this as an overwhelmingly positive answer.
.... how we can best make use of our time and resourses while here on Earth.
And .... it's casting motherhood in the very good light .....
I almost see this as a given with the responses from the Yi - that even the most 'positive' response requires effort on our part. It's not like rubbing a magic lamp to make something happen, and then thinking that the extent of what's required of us.What you get out of it is proportionate to what you put in.
I think one of the benefits of this website is that we get to be Xun- or Wind-like and look at readings and the Yi from many different perspectives. So, regarding what 35 is saying:because 35 really does seem to be touting the benefits of being the male and then ... this answer should be interpreted as the I Ching simply mirroring the statement and giving the reasons why one might say motherhood is unjust.
Useful information. After reading your post I visited De Korne website and yes, the judgement specially indicates being granted numerous gifts. So the notion of mating isn't literal; it rather refers to multiplying.In other translations of Hex 35 that I have read there is no mention of the horses being mated.
Of course I didn't mean they won't enjoy sex for the rest of their lives, but during the phases I named- and it's a lengthy time in my eyes. Maybe I haven't been lucky indeed, as I came across several women my age with difficult pregnancies, hard labor, eye-wandering husbands who didn't appreciate becoming fathers but resented it and left the woman to be cared after by her family, and painful bodies months after giving birth. If a woman has three children in these conditions she would be suffering a large part of her youth. Her man? not at all.”Pregnancy, labor and nursing ruins sex“? If that has been your experience then I can certainly understand your feeling cheated. On the other hand many women enjoy sex after becoming mothers and continue to enjoy it all their lives ...
For me, the more encompassing view is there are no winners our losers here, but only people making choices about how they want to live their lives.Not to wonder they see a sexually loose person- girl in particular- as a loser but a suffering mother as a winner. For me it's the opposite.
