I've had similar ideas about the feminine-masculine split. I see the potential for toxic forms of both cultural characteristics, though. Toxic femininity is apparent in the wokester, Me Too, and Cancel cultures.

Not sure if it's just a case of re-establishing balance. We might need to avoid either extreme by understanding why they're extremes.

"Divine" feminine and masculine? I see them as having an accidental, evolutionary origin. That's part of what makes the culture wars absurd and darkly comedic.

But certainly, hyper-masculinity or male psychopathy has dominated corporate culture and consumerism, which have led to the environmental catastrophes.
