A woman who has been failed by men in her life and did not experience masculinity will reject her femininity or perhaps more accurately, she cannot embrace her femininity. As I see it, femininity can only be safely indulged in if masculine order is in place. (Contd)

Whether you take it symbolically or literally, Eve came out of Adam. The order of the masculine creates a space in the world where the feminine chaos can be explored safely and with protection.

I am a woman with or without a man, yet I feel the most feminine WITH him. (Contd)

So I see the masculine embodiment by women as an unhealthy or defensive posture to the lack of order and the vacuum created by having no strong masculine presence in her life. She must first create that masculinity because again, that order must come first.
