was talking about masculinity / femininity and associated energies yesterday in the water during a surf with @nonlinear.eth (yes, i needed to include those details) and we stumped ourselves.

are there any qualities or traits that are exclusively masculine or exclusively feminine?

we think no.

I love this question! Balancing fem & masc energy has been central to my meditation study. My interpretation is 

Fem - surrender, being, receiving 
Masc - action, doing, directing 

What do you think?

I agree with this—more of a yin-yang interpretation? 

I find that when I reject the fem-masc spectrum it’s bc I subtly/subconsciously denigrate one side (when both are equally valuable)

Though re-reading the original question, I would also agree that there are no exclusive traits (in that we likely all embody both sides, with degrees towards one or the other by default)

I’ve been play around with language that infers fem-masc qualities… eg sometimes for meditation coaching, I interchange the translation for metta from loving-kindness (coded more feminine) to limitless goodwill (coded more masculine) when the client seems more receptive to the latter ☺️

yes, I'm interpreting as yin-yang - the subtle energies that exist within us regardless of gender.

Love the idea of these traits being non-exclusive. 

I actively cultivate my fem energy.. receptivity, stillness, non-doing, otherwise I default to masc traits. 

How do you think this balance manifests in the web3 env?
