masculine and feminine archetypes
But if we look at the chinese gender bevaviours, the archetypes of masculine
are directed, focused, light, activity, day and the feminine
unmoved, unknown, dark, absence, night. Then if we accept that all
persons are some part of each of these archetypes, usually the one oriented
with their physical sexuality is dominant.

Those gender types are 1000's of years old china. The superego is agreed, both
masculine and feminne in aspect, though by using the traditional types, any
focused ego at all is masculine.

(this post is in reply to mongo's post that dosn't come up:

I think sweethearts post illustrated this best:

I very much like this phrase, and the male dominant paradigm is each of us, a voice
in our heads that is this dominant dictator, and every honest person will admit
they have such a demon, and as well, a benign sacred observer consciousness that
is not there to drive the car, a very feminine awareness. And both these awarenesses
share our every waking, the male dominant paradigm not effective if there is no fear.

Male - dominant dictator
Female - a benign sacred observer consciousness

I think that as long as you are assigning gender to behavior you are not really talking about the behavior itself. All posts like this do is enforce old stereotypes.

Which seems to be the OP's favorite game.


Its very frustrating to write a composition and to have a thread locked in the mean time
for no fault of mine own.
