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.

It's easier to watch the king/queen/prince/princess play out the extremes of each archetype rather than try to live up to them fully ourselves.

It's hard to criticize a giant balloon dick swinging contest because you have to strap one on yourself and squeeze yourself to a podium. (Popping the balloons creates a LOT of anger and closes the ears the of crowd from hearing your message)
