But a man can develop better intuition than your average woman, it would be odd though to speak on it all the time

This is esoteric Taoism 101, but it's esoteric precisely because exoterically minded people don't get it "Know the masculine, yet keep to the feminine: receive the world in your arms. If you receive the world, the Tao [and its power] will never leave you" — Tao Te Ching, 28

That femininity (i.e. receptiveness, passivity) is the most essential principle of the natural universe, and understanding it and learning to use it in your life grants you great adaptive advantage over those who do not.

Your eyes see because light comes to them Your ears hear because sound comes to them Your skin feels because sensation comes to it Your nose smells because smells come to it etc.

All of this is a *feminine* principle of reception. But to put it down because it's "soy" means you see only the caricaturized surface level of it on the level of human social conduct - the exoteric part

This applies to intuition in the sense that you do not consciously work your intuition in an active sense, but must cultivate a passive sensitivity in order to hear it and detect it - that is, let it come to your mind - in a principally feminine fashion of passivity

But none of this femininity has anything to do with your external demeanor, of being a man or a woman; it is all part of the concealed understanding within your mind of the principles of the natural world - what is esoteric

I see; I'm grateful for your explanation, but I still disagree with all of it - It is man's role to do, not be. Where a man runs out of things to do, or simply cannot do them at all, is where that man is dead in the eyes of who he protects or wishes to protect, including himself

And indeed, the masculine is the active principle. What is implied in this philosophy is that there is always a little yin in the yang, and thus there is no real need to keep explicitly honing the element of yin in the man - and in this sense I completely agree with you
