I found this sentence: "they are all expressions of the feminine dimension of personhood".
Can anyone tell me what personhood means, please?

There is no such word as "personhood"...... it's yet another very silly term, thought up by some "politically correct" muppet, to avoid using word such as "manhood", "womanhood", "boyhood", etc.

Personalities live in houses and many houses for them make up what is called a personhood.

If the dwellers got acquainted at all, they'd be called neighbors, and then it would become a neighborhood.

Most of the USA is comprised of personhoods...a place where strangers live close together, but don't really know one another.

I live next door to a Mexican family that just discovered the internet. They tap into my wireless router and get free service. Now all they do is tell others how to use it. This is why I'm about to move to a personhood.

I think personhood must mean "humanity". Not a word I can remember hearing before, though.

I don't think it means anything, strictly speaking. An invented word, by the look of it.

It should be easier for you to google it than to ask here.
