Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
Great question, @tobetada ! The article emphasizes heavily that we all have both energies inside us, and that they're energies we can personally feel and have 'intimate' knowledge with. It also mentions that just like the 'two dots' in the yin-yang symbol, there is always a bit of masculine in the feminine, and a bit of feminine in the masculine.
Because of all this, definitions aren't too necessary since one person experiencing a 'feminine' trait as masculine 'for them' is fine, and vice-versa. Defining whether a certain trait is masculine or feminine is mainly only helpful in 'broad strokes' to 'get a point across' and is usually quite intuitive. If someone really passionately wants to define things, the definitions of masculine and feminine traits are best pulled from the creator of gender in the first place... nature.
In nature, the lion's share of females do the nurturing across all species (but there are exceptions.) In nature, the lion's share of males are larger, stronger, and more aggressive. So we might ask ourselves, what energies does nature deem feminine or masculine?
But I must repeat, definitions are much less important than one's own personal relationship and understanding with both energies, because even if that understanding/personal definition differs from others, at least we know who we are and are in harmony with our own personal balance of energies, and that's what really matters.
Hope this helps clear things up, wishing you a great day! 🙏
