Art of being a woman or a man or a human being

What is it to be a woman ? What is it to be a man ? What is it to be a human being ? Time to re-define feminism or maybe stop using the word all altogether. What is the male principle ? What is the female principle? We live in a patriarchal society . How would it be to see the world as it REALLY is ? Feminism: What is it ? It is the belief in the need to secure rights and opportunities for women equal to those of men. Perhaps it is better to avoid the word all together . " Don't mention the war" We have gone beyond burning bras and chaining ourselves to the railings. Surely we have moved past competing with men , especially in a male way , on male terms ? Women must help women and men, achieve equality and balance in society. Not " better than " but " as good as " or " good enough". What about women and men working together, to be who they want to be and do what they want to do, with self-assurance and passion and not in each other's shadow ? Yin and Yang , like Love and Will have different qualities. Love is not better than Will, nor is Will better than Love. The merging of Love and Will in Synthesis is a beautiful and powerful thing enabling the full expression of Self. I am thinking of " THE WORLD " card of the Tarot where male and female dance together with the circle of the ouroboros for mutual fulfilment, completion, satisfaction, joy, wholeness, success and not stagnation, lack of will, impatience or delays. Man and Woman , Male and Female dancing together heralds the arrival of the heart's desire, whatever that may be and a time of achievement, recognition, success and triumph. Completion and fulfilment.
