Quote

Masculine and feminine roles are not biologically fixed but socially constructed.

We all live in a culture that is continually isolating feminine and masculine aspects, even when they're not related to people.

Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.

Masculine ideals have become very confused in the modern world.

The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

Femininity in and of itself - and the feminine - can be not only privileged, but honored or worshipped.

I'm not convinced that what are traditionally considered to be male energies or qualities or female energies or qualities really have as much to do with gender as many people think they do.

Feminine virtue is nothing but a convenient masculine invention.

I have always believed that we all have male and female within us.
