The basic definition that makes sense to me is receptivity, heart centered. Generally we're taught that is powerless.
-
That makes sense to me but evolutionary psychology would explain women's greater emotionality, empathy etc on average.
-
Taoist chi inner alchemy meditation, and am noticing connection with hormone levels... Interesting stuff.
-
You'll lose me with spirituality and chi & alchemy but the same observations come up in different cultural imaginations.
-
Whether its the Xtian sapientia (masculine, thinking, doing knowledge) & scientia (feminine, feeling, receptive knowledge)
-
Or the Kabala or Jungian archetypes or Kristevan psychoanalysis. I think biology, partic brains, underlies it all.
-
I think you may be on to something! To me, biological basis doesn't mean no spiritual element. But yeah - yin after ovulation.

I think 'spiritual' is one of those terms which has a variety of meanings so I'm never quite clear what is meant by it.

lol long answer :)
-
Yes but I think this comes under gender differences which evolved to make men more proactive & women more communicative.
-
Men more about things, women more about people. But with huge overlap. The worst of feminism cld be seen as toxic femininity
-
Because its still very much about feelings and sociality & verbalising. But its the nasty side, abusive, self-destructive.

vs yang: achieving externally, thought centered(see how gender roles aren't involved?)Which is considered empowered, generally.

the yin principle: one of the modes of energy present in (or "powering") all life, transcending culture, gender, etc.
