> And humans are designed to be ‘lights’ on earth.
We’re all meant to ‘light up’ our lives, and that can’t be done without some amount of both energies. Feminine and masculine.

> Polarities are important.

Yes! We are all meant to be lights. We're meant to be happy and light up from within. I spend a lot of time in my masculine when I'm working. I can tell when it's time to stop, dance, sing, or create and get out of my head and get back into my body. My body will start to ache, I'll start to feel uncomfortable in my body and sometimes I even find myself getting annoyed with work. When these things happen I know it's time to stop and break and get into my body and out of my head. But I definitely need the polarity of both feminine and masculine. I used to think masculine meant being "manly" but I was wrong. It just means thinking more, being logical, and using my brain for work. I definitely identify as feminine though. I enjoy being in my body more. Being creative, dancing, and FEELING not thinking. 


> Male-led institutions have tried hard to degrade the feminine.

they have. And we've allowed it for far too long. I allowed it in my life repeatedly. Now I refuse to allow anyone to degrade me unless I choose to 😉


> Progress happened as women’s steps into ‘the market’ was celebrated as ‘being more on the same level’ as men. It had a side-effect though. The art of being feminine, homemaking, nurturing, and everything traditionally connected with women came to be perceived as derogatory –not just by men– but by women themselves.

I got a lot of shit from women when I decided to quit teaching and become a full-time SAHM. My family, my friends, my co-workers all thought it was ok to tell me what a mistake I was making. The judgment was so gross. I stopped it by leaving the country and getting far away from their judgment. But it was the same when new people would ask me what I did and I said I was a SAHM. The judgment or the pity in their eyes lol. I loved being a SAHM. I spent time nurturing my children, my home, and myself. I wouldn't change it for anything. Even now when I tell women I love being traditional and love my life as a submissive they judge. But now I don't care. I know it's because so many want to be that way but are afraid of judgment or are afraid, to be honest with themselves about it. Women have definitely judged me more for my traditional choices than men. Men are like well duh that's what's natural for you and most women want to buck against what feels most natural so they can be perceived as strong. 

But You once told me...strong glass breaks when it falls. A squishy, soft newborn bounces and doesn't get hurt when it falls. I'd much rather be soft and squishy than harsh and strong. 

Excellent article. Thank You!
