What did Ra mean by...?

[Nau7ik]

I meant, did Ra mean by that sentence:

1. Every man is a woman. Every woman is a man.

2. Every female (as an adjective; like "female/girly dress") is male (as an adjective; like "male pair of pants")

Or, 

3. Every man is female (as an adjective); and every woman is male (as an adjective).

?

I don’t interpret Ra’s quote as any of these options. In context of the answer in 5.2, Ra is discussing the polarity of mind and body. The key to understanding each man is a woman and each woman a man, in my opinion, is by the polarity of the mind/body complex. Ra talks about acceptance of the polarity of the body complex. The balancing exercise can be applied here because man and woman are a polarity.

Dion Fortune goes into this in detail in “The Mystical Qabalah” in the chapter on Netzach. I’ll quote the relevant points:

17. We shall comprehend the nature of Netzach in the microcosm best if we remember that it is the Sphere of Venus, with all that that implies. Translated from the symbolic language of the Qabalah into plain English, it means that we are concerned here with the function of polarity, which is a very great deal more than mere sex as popularly conceived.

18. It is important to note in this respect that Venus, or in her Greek form, Aphrodite, is not a fertility goddess ar all, such as are Ceres and Persephone; she is the goddess of love. Now in the Greek concept of life, Love embraced much more than the relationship between the sexes, it included the comradeship of fighting men and the relationship of teacher and pupil. The Greek hetaira, or woman whose profession is love, was something very different to our modern prostitute. ...

19. The Aphrodite cult was something very much more than the simple performance of an animal function. It was concerned with the subtle interaction of the life-force between two factors; the curious flow and return, the stimulus and the reaction, which plays so important a part in the relations of the sexes, but extends far beyond the sphere of sex.
...
21. The function of the hetaira was to minister to the intellect of her clients as well as their appetites: she was a hostess as well as a mistress, and to her resorted the philosophers and poets to receive inspiration and sharpen their wits; for it was wel realized that there is no greater inspiration to an intellectual man than the society of a vital and cultured woman.

22. In the temples of Aphrodite the art of love was sedulously cultivated, and the priestesses were trained from childhood in its skill. But this art was not simply that of provoking passion, but of adequately satisfying it on all levels of consciousness; not simply by the gratification of the physical sensations of the body, but by the subtle etheric exchange of magnetism and intellectual and spiritual polarization. ...

23. We cannot understand sex aright unless we realize that it is one aspect of what the esotericist calls polarity, and that this is a principle that runs through the whole of Creation, and is, in fact, the basis of manifestation. It is represented on the Tree by the two Pillars of Severity and Mercy. The whole of the activity of force is comprised in the principle of polarity, just as the whole of the function of form is comprised of the principle of metabolism.

24. ... The great point we need to realize is that in the microcosmic Tree there is a flow down and up the positive and negative aspects of our own subjective levels of consciousness, whereby the spirit inspires mind, and the mind directs the emotions, and the emotions form the etheric double, and the etheric double moulds the physical vehicle, which is the “earth” of the circuit. This is a fact that is generally realized, and it’s inplications are easily seen as soon as attention is drawn to them.
