RE: Dichotomy of Masculinity (A reflection in cognitive dissonance)
Roaring...YES!! thank you for saying this. To be balanced in life and in the world we need to embrace and celebrate both a strong masculine and a strong feminine. Instead throughout history we tend to vilify one and then the other, the pendulum swinging back-and-forth who is currently hot and who's not. Let us all be free to be who we be, and bring all the gifts to the table. 🙏🏽
I couldn't agree more @steemed-open. Perhaps I didn't state so much in my piece, but I am also a huge fan of the feminine. Both men and women and possess masculine and feminine qualities. But generally speaking though men posses more masculine and vice versa; and that's ok.
Like you said, embracing all of it is awesome; rather than picking sides.
Cheers! :)
Thanks for the comment, it made my day...
True, you didn't espouse equal love for the feminine that post. But I got what you were saying. The feminine, though much maligned historically, recently has been glorified to the extent of making the masculine almost evil over the last few decades. Again, I think it's all good. Balance...
Have you read "The way of the Superior Man"? Amazing book on this topic celebrating folks embracing whichever is the most dominant energy type in their being.
@steemed-open, Agreed....
And thank you for the book reference. I'll look it up. It sounds like a fascinating topic.
I personally feel like I possess a lot of feminine energies on a daily basis in my thoughts and actions and then every once in a while have an intense burst of masculine that motivates me to action. To, as they say, "git 'er done!".
