Women's groups? Feminine Power?

Last week I was on the phone with a friend and wonderful guide of mine. One thing that came up was this: what about all this stuff about women getting together, women's groups and awakening and feminine power stuff going on these days, it's everywhere,  even a women's safari group formed itself almost effortlessly in this field - how much if any of this is somewhat of a  new age fad, something rooted in selfish "self" expression, getting needs met and/or is this something  in line with certain kinds of high level initiations which have service as a center piece, or a true bodhisattva disposition.
Here is how she viewed it: "It can be looked at as a way of the system (of all of humanity) to self correct to come into a more balanced state, to become healthy - after centuries of dominance of the patriarchal systems". That made a lot of sense, and while there may be some overcompensating that may happen - it still is something that needs to happen.
...and it is not a "return to" kind of a movement, it is  a new direction: from femininepower.com: "For the feminine to become a source of power from which we can create the future of our lives and the future of our world, it needs to be consciously evolved through us. We need to awaken and cultivate a new, co-creative, feminine power that integrates and includes all the gains of masculine power, giving us access to a kind of co-creativity we’ve never seen in our recorded history.
The power we've been mastering for the last 50 years has been a masculine version of power.
Until now, power has been defined exclusively in masculine terms. If you look up the word “power” in the dictionary, the definition given is the ability “to do, to act, to accomplish, to wield command or control over others. This masculine power system has given us the miracles of science and the marvels of industry. It has enabled us to create an unprecedented standard of living and have opportunities beyond our grandmothers’ wildest dreams."

From the - The Women's Temple group:
"For the balanced feminine to blossom it is helpful, and in our experience crucial, to create and sustain women’s circles that truly nourish us in the deepest sense. Instead of enforcing the status quo by focusing on our problems and personal shortcomings, circles like this connect us with truth beyond our fears and limited self-images. From this deeper place we can effortlessly radiate clarity and guidance instead of exhaust ourselves in trying to be leaders from a tense, competitive and ego-centered state of mind." The Awakening Women Way, http://awakeningwomenblog.com/, is an invitation to show up in your life as a compassionate and powerful leader, fully honoring your feminine beauty, wisdom and strength.

It is in this field I look at my life, and, not being able to come up with a single thing, other than emptying my storage unit before I die, - I made an invocation.
