Hey.

I think I hear what you are saying. Something that my therapist said (I think he might have been reflecting me back - but it still felt quite striking at the time) was about how part of this might be about... My not identifying with my mother at all. I guess the idea is that I might be rejecting my feminine aspect because I equate that with my mother. But then my mother wasn't really traditionally feminine... So in rejecting a feminine aspect I might actually be identifying with my mother after all (my therapist didn't say that lol). Dunno... Complicated, I guess.

I'm not sure about the 'female - emotional' 'male - rational' thing... Not sure... I have some male friends who are fairly emotional in their own way... But perhaps not as emotionally expressive, that is true.

I've been thinking about the incoherance of female stereotypes... The inconsistent qualities that are regarded as 'feminine'. I think that males struggle with their conception of what it is to be masculine, too... Dunno... Hard stuff.
