I read that “turn into” and was like “that is a great idea”!

In my religious beliefs, the Fall of Adam and Eve was supposed to happen, and actually the plan all along.

Adam was straightforward. Do what you’re told to do, no questions asked.

Eve questioned and allowed herself to be analytical.

Adam would have never partaken of the fruit if not for Eve leading the way, and the human race never would have grown.

So there is a lot of credit given to the mind of woman, and deservedly so.

Wow, what an amazing post. From a woman’s perspective, I really feel the value of womanhood was well expressed here.

As a non-feminist woman, I’ve always refused to trade my feminine values just to compete with men or prove I can do everything they do. That choice set me apart from many women—as if I were the ugly duckling. But today, I’m proud of that decision.

And let’s be honest—competing with men isn’t just about being able to do what they do. It’s about delivering the same results with the same quality. And that comes with hidden costs many don’t talk about.

Feminism merely means we are equal in rights, but not necessarily the same. Logos and Eros are also equal yet not the same.

We can say that although they are different, they have the same value. Best regards, Adrianka

Absolutely, trying to reply to the anti-feminist sentiment. Because if people knew it merely means men and women are equal, I believe nobody would say they are anti-feminist. Feminism is merely about choices for women! 😌

Ineresting perspective. Jung is more needed than ever to heal the psychological rift between the sexes that Western society is steeped in today. It’s time to come to terms with the fact that the masculine and feminine approaches are fundamentally complementary, not competitive. When we honor both, we unlock a deeper wholeness—for ourselves and for the culture at large.

That’s why passing on this wisdom is so important. For females it gives us power and insight on our gifts and roles. Side note, I wonder if this is why crime shows are so appealing to women.

The Feminine connection is currently lost to the masculine, this is our problem in the world currently.

. . .I would but even “intelligent” women believe in extorting each other for permission to share a planet none of us actually own through capitalism, starting literally from the ground up by way of real estate.

Sooo I'm good✌🏿🖖🏿

I’m interested in Jung’s work from an astrological POV. His theories on personality types and shadow work, have been magical for self awareness. Yet here he’s designating a communication / thinking style across sexes. It’s interesting, because with astrology - logic / intuitive all live in all people, but varying on a spectrum. Times really do shape you~

So this is why my mind now is connecting so much! Stress and survival mode my whole left had left me unknown to the wonders that my mind could web. I had read up on Jung, but I haven't seen this aspect. Thank you for sharing!

Let it go once read done below

When the mind turns toward intelligent

and the form toward

woman

who is turning?

Is it man seeking guidance

or form seeking reflection?

The deeper voice

neither teaches nor follows.

It is not woman

It is not man

It is the silence

both are echoing

Turn not to the other

Turn to what remains

when there is no other

So after excluding women from a say in “democratic” greece, already then it was inevitable to need female input into decision making, yet look at today, what a waste of centuries

Co-existing and cooperating has been key to our survival! I love a balanced masculine/feminine dynamic. Life became a lot easier when I learned to embrace my feminine strengths and appreciate masculine strengths: protection, security, etc. famous quote from my father with 5 children: can’t you all just get along?! 😇
