OK, I made it quite clear that patriarchy does not equate solely with masculinity and is not some sort of euphemism for men. It's a dominance hierarchy social system - as I said about 3 different times.

Everyone has both Yin and Yang in them. Allowing whatever blend of that is natural to the individual is what will bring healing - not forcing people back into boxes devised by others hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

And aside from the fact that there was an entire established class of samurai women (the onna musha), in ancient human cultures, women were hunters, as well as gatherers, they were the first scientists, the inventors of agriculture and writing and beer. Women were often the spiritual leaders and jurists. Pretending that is somehow "unfeminine" is an attempt to maintain patriarchal gender binaries.
