I'm interested in this area recently.
Firstly, I think it's easy to condemn this or that and get blockages in this area but it is worth trying to get an idea of the fact of everything being perfect and whole etc.
Having said that, I find social roles confusing. In relation to a woman I used to be able to take the lead and most of the time, generally, the 'power' in the conversation seems to be on me or equal. I don't take a submissive role.
But I think it is undeniable that some women are more aggressive and generally tougher than me. Is this because of a lack of balance? I would hesitate to say so, but I won't out rule it either. Because even when people balance massive life lessons, they don't really change. They just move the same being into a different configuration.
I should define 'aggressive and generally tougher' so as not to create confusion, that is a bit vague. What I mean is that some girls;
Are able to engage in emotional fights a lot more to press their points, I would get exhausted quite quickly, I can do confrontation and have, but not with any great intensity.
ENJOY physical acts of service that I would be not inclined to and alienated from (I am more of a thinker).
Indulge in things (films etc.) that were violent in some way that I would not.
I don't see much of this, I think genders work on their own gender and don't really work on each other. For instance, I've seen research that the whole 'slut' idea is more of a female term, that it is women that shame their counterparts in order to 'fight the competition' of attractive competitors. Likewise, it is men that hit on each other for not being 'stereotypically masculine' enough.
