WHY WOMEN DON’T HAVE AN INNER MASCULINE : IF YOU DID, YOU WOULD HAVE SOME NATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS TO BE A MAN — WHICH YOU DON’T! The idea that certain energies and activities are masculine or feminine, and therefore when a woman is engaged in those ‘masculine’ energies, she is in her ‘inner masculine’, or when a man is engaged in the ‘feminine’ energies, he’s in his ‘inner feminine’ is not a useful formulation, and it is creating a lot of confusion. Declare certain actives as masculine or feminine if you like.  Do them as you like, But please drop this notion that inside every woman there is an ‘inner masculine’, and inside ever man there is an ‘inner feminine’. My primary argument and evidence against this inner masculine and inner feminine is this : If every woman had a true ‘inner masculine’ inside of her, her ‘inner masculine’ would be a true reference point towards what it is actually like to be a man in this world!   Every woman would then understand what it is to occupy a man’s body, to occupy a man’s psyche and motivational system and drives and desires.  THIS IS NOT THE CASE!  Women have no native/intuitive understanding of what it is to be a man. Men have no native/intuitive understanding of what it is to be a woman. Let’s stop pretending that we have some inside track into the other gender’s reality. We need to acknowledge that we are different from each other, and that in fact we ABSOLUTELY DO NOT UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER!   We need to acknowledge that we don’t have native knowledge of the other sex, so that we can start to look at each other with curiosity and start to humbly learn each other’s natures, so that we may get along better. This video is from my course for women.  It is from the section on UNDERSTANDING MEN.  One of the big reasons women today are failing in their relationships with men, is because women don’t really understand men.  In order to begin to understand men, women first need to acknowledge that they don’t have some inner masculine through which they have an access point for what it is to be a man in this world.
