Associating men with negativity and women with positivity gives men a bad rap.
I’d rather associate men with a different side of positivity, and negativity.
I, and I suspect many, tend to associate men with pride (I like myself, which can be (un)healthy, mind you, like all the feels) and anger/hate (I dislike you), and women with guilt/shame (I dislike myself) and love (I like you), giving men a more self>other attitude, and women a more other>self attitude, but of course both sexes are more than capable of experiencing both.
I associate men with courage, but also foolhardiness, and women with cowardice, but also caution.
Oddly I associate men with both happiness (things are pretty good), and despair (but they’re going to get worse), which gives them a conservative outlook, and women with sadness (things are pretty bad), and hope (but they’re going to get better), giving them a progressive outlook.
And all of these qualities have implications for the kinds of music men and women tend to create, and gravitate towards.
Satan is one of our negative male archetypes, and Jesus one of our positive ones.
They appear equally masculine, in that they both look strong, but Satan looks antisocial (the attacker), and Jesus social (the defender).
Men’s sociality manifests in their capacity to protect and provide (ensure survival), and their anti-sociality manifests in their capacity to destroy.
There are negative and positive female archetypes in the bible and elsewhere in popular culture, such as Eve, Lilith and Delilah on the left hand, and Ruth, Esther and the three Marys on the right.
Women’s sociality manifests in their capacity to give birth, and to nurture (ensure health and wellbeing), women’s anti-sociality manifests in their capacity to abort, and to deprive.
Disclaimer: even if it ought to go without saying on a philosophy forum, I just want to say I’m sure some of what passes for masculinity and femininity is socially constructed, as I’m sure some of it has a biological basis, it’s just often difficult to distinguish nature, from nurture, and of course there are exceptions, no two individuals are entirely alike, but a few exceptions don’t disprove the rule.
