The cultural pendulum has swung from patriarchy to matriarchy. Neither are healthy. We're two sides of the same coin. It's not easy, tho. The two polarities push apart and the friction feeds back from microcosm to macrocosm. Give it time.
The cultural structures are feminine while the relational systems are masculine? Do I understand our confusions correctly. This feels existentially important, so I want to understand it. Thank you for mapping it out so frankly, and giving hints toward how to handle it. This is what I'm getting from your piece: we could do better if those who haven't "feminize" their relationships to themselves and to others, and we need to "beef up" our accountability to the commons? And me personally, I need to soften the self-judgment a little, and find ways to resist complacency. I appreciate your work. Your contributions are supportive.
Beautifully expressed. The most inspiring couples nowadays are the ones leaving to start successful homesteads. The masculine needs to work to own rural land and cultivate trade skills. The feminine needs to work to connect like-minded people and to share ideas and resources. Broadly speaking.

Beautiful truth, thank you!
Absolutely.
