"If we can change the metaphor of the earth as mother to the earth as lover, then maybe people would start to realize that it's time to take care of the earth instead of expecting the earth to take care of us the way a mother would,"

Yeah, I get the point, here, but if my imagination goes to a place where it sees the earth as a lover...well, I can't help but feel I'm a little small for her, if you get my meaning.

I'm not sure how gaia fetishizing makes sense.

The planet may be a provider, but it isn't the one giving head.

Unless, or course, Earth is both.

Earth as a mother or a lover is a flawed metaphor.

We should consider the earth as a nest or cradle. Treat it with respect because it's a finite resource and recognise that we will eventually have to leave.

Nature is a heartless bitch, and should be treated as such.
