There is no question that physical and mental strength can produce great
results. But why are women so much the opposite of man? - why so much
the "opposite sex"? Surely physical and mental strength in women would
have done no harm?
A bipolarization of personality types would aid pair-bonding, breeding,
and child nurturing, by making men and women psychologically dependent
on each other. A couple would grow to need each other to complement and
fulfill their individual personalities. Woman grew to need man not only
for his physical and mental strength, not only for his support and sex,
but also to help in exercising the male part of her own personality.
Similarly, man grew to need woman not only for her body and her
particular mental skills, but also to exercise and satisfy the female
part of his personality.
In addition, the segregation of personality types into well defined
roles simplifies social interactions. People could then specialize in
certain tasks, and thereby achieve greater things. Everyone would know
what was expected of them, and how to behave towards others, which would
undoubtedly reduces stress in society and perhaps increase its
efficiency.
So, in a sense the wish for enlightenment for one and all, true equality
of the sexes, seems to be going against the stream of evolution. But is
not this Great Wish the result of evolution?
I seem to write at inordinate length on the subject of the sexes, though
I am only writing about human values. It is a difficult task, and I have
chosen to tackle it from the perspective of the two "sex personalities".
I am merely writing about the ego, the embodiment of delusion, and how
it manifests in our lives.
