Sexual polarity
Concept of dualism between masculine and feminine
Sexual polarity is a concept of dualism between masculine and feminine.[1] More generally, the term may be used to denote mutual opposition between sexual ideologies.[2]
"the very dichotomy man/woman as an opposition between two rival entities may be understood as belonging to metaphysics"
— Julia Kristeva[1]
Metaphorical symbolism of sexual polarity is deeply intertwined in cultural understandings of nature. Conceptions of male and female poles are developed through history in relation to each other.[1]
