Eugene discusses the differences between two kinds of awareness - the masculine and the feminine - and the historical to-and-fro between lunar, matriarchal cultures and the solar patriarchal cultures.
In the modern context "...all people being born today...are tending towards a hermaphroditic state. That is, they are tending to balance the male and female sides of their being...". A person with the outward appearance of a boy is not necessarily an old-school militarist man of initiative and violence. They could be a "...very, very quiet, subtle weaver of patterns of feelings and of ideas, a wheedler as much as a man of violence."
"Simultaneously, because of this female emergent in the so-called male, the females have had to start thinking to themselves, 'Can we find a masculine principle inside ourselves so that we can rescue ourselves from being toys for warriors, considering the warriors don’t exist?'"
How does a girl get in contact with the male side of her being?
