Male v. Female
ОглавлениеWater is undoubtedly a feminine-oriented element, and hence generally much easier in our society for females to handle than males. Whilst men can be sympathetic, caring and compassionate, it is still not easy for men in the West to show their feelings or to allow themselves to be seen dissolving into tears. In consequence, strongly watery men may actually swing into the opposite pole and become ultra-rational, detached, and unemotional to a degree that some would see as almost pathological. This can lead to men of this type, and some women, taking pride in showing no emotions and acting only through reason.
When this does happen, however, this type of polarized individual will almost always be found surrounded with highly emotional people and situations that ‘act out’ the inner emotional life they find themselves unable to handle. This can be seen in the super-rational husband with the hysterical wife, and the calm, reasonable psychologist who is deeply concerned in a supremely rational way to help those who have become ‘confused’ and ‘emotionally disturbed’.
