So I've been ponderig over something. It seems that women are I herently dynamic while are static. The unspoken aspect of femininity and masculinity. Women embrace change and impermanence and go through various stages of life when they feel like completely different people. Although ancient couldn't pinpoint it in such clear way you can still see that a lot of goddesses have multiple facets and personalities. Feral Durga the killer and Mahadevi the Mother of All. The innocent spring maid Cora and a winter mistress Persephone. The Hecates literally has three bodies of different ages. Hathor who both brings you to life and then guides you to the otherworld. Well it goes on. Male deities are way more straightforward and logical in what they represent. But moving to real life, you can see that men basically stay the same person they were as a little kid through their whole life. They can't even fathom that fundamental change in values and preferences can actually happen during life, because it rarely happens to them. They seek some sort of immortality and want everything to be eternal, and when they realize it's not possible they reject the world and seek God. Things are inherently better when they are permanent, to men. Men also deal with boredom much better, just same cozy everyday is fine with them, women constantly need to experience something new or they lose it. The main reason for a man to do something is a wife nagging him about it. But they are fussy as hell themselves as well. What are your thoughts?
It seems that Heian Japan presents a uniquely female minded state. Like it wasn't strictly matriarchal (although there were some interesting matrilineal aspects) , but was ruled nonetheless by femininity. There were a lot things there that you really don't see anywhere else in history aside from modernity. Romance novels, normalization of cuckolding, embrace of impermanence and emotionality, morality being centered around shallows ethics and not actual good and evil, massive leaps in accountability in government, sex outside marriage being common.
