You made some good points,
Daividh , and I'm sure
Phyllis will be the first to agree that she's observed some of what you described. But I think you've let yourself open for a little lecture on the fact that there are *numerous* groups of Wicca, with varying practices and ideaologies. :)
And, I happen to know a few guys who call themselves Wiccan and who are definitely of the masculine, he-man variety. ;) In Wiccan ceremonies, they may represent The Horned One, while their female counterpart may represent The Goddess.
Reading the books and magazine articles isn't enough to give you a full perspective on the neo-pagan movement in America. You need to meet with and personally speak with a few neo-pagans to really get to know them. And, of course, neo-pagan groups can differ from region to region in this country, same as
Christian groups can differ regionally. :)
