Generally speaking, men and women or, to do
justice to the noumenal/phenomenal distinctions of
class and/or plane, males and females are equally positive and equally negative
in their different and effectively opposite ways, as between energy/motion and
gravity/force, whether noumenal or phenomenal.
But, having said that, I must not overlook the
fact that the same is true, in their opposite ways, of pseudo-males and
pseudo-females, whose distinctions between pseudo-gravity/pseudo-force on the
one hand and pseudo-energy/pseudo-motion on the other indubitably exist as the
subordinate complementarities of the respective kinds of hegemonies of females
and males proper.

If you cannot be wise, at least (as a male) be a fool to yourself rather than to somebody else.

The male in one context can become a
pseudo-male in another, a pseudo-female in one context the female in another.
Everyone and everybody exists in a state of constant flux due, in large part,
to the complexities of societal, familial, and other relationships, with
appropriate changes of status that mirror the fluctuations of life, not least
in axial terms.

In football, the attacking, or offensive, players
are akin to energy in motion and the defensive players, by contrast, to force
in gravity, so that there is a kind of left/right, radical/conservative
distinction between forwards and defenders, with some players, habituated to
playing in midfield positions, more liberally and, hence, centrally if not
neutrally, coming in between the defenders and the attackers.
There is also a sense, it seems to me, in which
a hegemonic/subordinate relationship, or parallel, is established between the
winning and losing sides, although a drawn game would suggest the inability of
either team to hegemonically prevail, with neutral
(if not gender-neuter) implications.
* * * *
Much of what passes for culture with people is simply
a reflection, on sublimated and artificial terms, of the basic dichotomy in
life between energy in motion and the force of gravity, with largely
female/male implications that normally run along objective/subjective lines in
relation to the particle/wavicle distinctions between
vacuum and plenum, competition and cooperation, individualism and collectivism.

One could argue that St. George and the Dragon,
the former in the process of slaying the latter, perfectly symbolizes the
curbing if not neutralizing of energy/motion by gravity/force, and that there
is consequently a gender paradigm in which conservatism triumphs over
liberalism or radicalism, like males over females.
Indeed, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that males, when true to themselves (subjectively biased towards psyche) are
inherently reactionary, reacting against the actions, in free will and spirit,
of females, whose natural disposition, rooted in a vacuum, is to objectively
'come on' to males according to need and requirement.
Even at the chromosomal level, a XX differs
somewhat from an XY, and it is, I believe, the Y aspect, as it were, of the
male which makes him suspicious of if not inherently opposed to the advances of
the female's XX, fearing that his X will be the thin end of the wedge that
allows the female to seduce him from and even corrupt his Y, thereby leaving
him at cross-purposes with his soul, his true self, in a divided loyalty that
smacks of psychic ambivalence.
