FEMININE AND MASCULINE

October 18, 2020

SUMMARY:

In this reflective dialogue, Matías addresses the complex duality between the feminine and the masculine in human society, exploring how these concepts have evolved throughout history. Through an etymological analysis of the words “Man” and “Woman,” it reveals how gender definitions are influenced by cultural and social aspects and how these words may not adequately reflect the richness and complexity of the human experience. The dialogue argues that the true balance between the feminine and the masculine lies in the acceptance of humanity as a whole, beyond gender labels, and in recognizing that each individual is free to express themselves in the way they choose.

QUOTE:

“Balancing the feminine and the masculine is not about making man a little weaker and woman stronger, but both more human.”
