Statement

The Women's Portal is a way for women to be introduced to Corrupt.org since it focuses on issues of the site which are of particular relevance to women. In doing this, CORRUPT is hoping to increase the number of women readers and contributors.

The organization shares the philosophy that everything in life ultimately requires the individual to act responsibly and to set themselves values and ideals that reflect Reality rather than taking for granted the values set by others.

We aim to make women aware of the various ways in which modern life has a corrupting effect on our minds, bodies and environment and to find ways to help solve this.

Women are oppressed by a corrupt society which encourages us to spend our time slaving away for corporations and to spend the resulting money buying our identity. Society thus blinds us to our true potential as well as our natural path in life.

In order to rediscover ourselves, to find peace and true happiness, we must break from the stranglehold of social, political and religious dogma. This is no easy task, as, in most cases, we have been conditioned since birth to believe-in and uphold certain values. But these values can and should be called into question. What motivates our belief in them? If it is fear (of authority, of rejection, of what other people think, etc.), complacency, or tradition (i.e. "because it's always been this way") then we must reassess ourselves.

We consider women to be different from men, and believe that women should realize and focus on their individual strengths and abilities, rather than struggle to imitate men, especially in typical male areas of expertise. Men have to feel special and needed, while women should not feel pressured into being "everything to everyone". Thus, we should not strive to be men or to compete with them, but instead take pride in remaining true to ourselves. Women should not feel obliged to have children, but we wish to present it as an option which is, in most cases, better and more satisfying than many others available. In any case, a woman who makes a family should realize her responsibility to it, even if this means sacrificing some of her own individual needs in order to best care for its members.

Men and women think differently but need not be at odds with each other. When we think together by cooperating, we are both able to function at our best.

What would be especially wonderful is if we can attract men and women to CORRUPT who will feel they have really found a community on the same mental wavelength, and that lasting relationships may be forged here with results in the real world.
