Most self-consciousness is impotent in nature because yin/yang is very difficult to balance in one person. Trying to make love to yourself ends up as masturbation for the most part. "But I'm practicing for love." Yeah... but you're improving... the wrong skill....

Relationships are much easier when the individuals play specific roles, e.g. one Yin and one Yang. More complex relationships are possible but you have to at least know how the basic one works to understand the more complex interactions.

Looping back to the consciousness as phallic sword analogy, there is also the opposite skill of combining atoms into molecules. Let's call it... the yonic manifestation of consciousness. It's more creative and birth-giving.

The Yang aspect says "This and this don't belong together." The Yin aspect says "This and this should belong together."

There's a whole set of analogies and pros and cons to this 'merging' energy as well. E.g. while the insatiability of Yang manifests as blood thirst, the insatiability of Yin manifests as gluttony.

What I think conservatives are trying to get at is that this 'creative' energy traditionally and culturally IS the more important one. Because it is so important, it ends up being taken for granted. E.g. the family structure and its ability to prolong the human race.

So.. their argument against feminists is that feminists are anti-yin, pro-yang in the same way single males w/o a girlfriend are.

Many women probably don't actually want to pick up a sword and kill dragons in order to be appreciated. Many women probably don't want to learn programming in order to not be considered dumb. Many men in fact don't want to do either of these 2 things.
