THE FEMININE ENERGY WOMAN AND HER WOUNDED MASCULINE

PICTURE THIS: When unhealthy she is like: a bottomless pit, a stagnant pond. A ditch for dumping wastes

CAUSES

 

Internalization of misogynistic values and power structures that insists women only ever show feminine traits such as: passiveness, selflessness, and compliance, or docility, without a heathy balance of masculine energy.

Consequently, her masculine expression remains at an unevolved or weak state.

Women being shunned for expressing the masculine energy of confidence and assertiveness results in the underdevelopment and unhealthy expression of their masculine energy (wounded or thwarted masculinity in women).

HOW IT MANIFESTS:

 

She overcompensates for her wounded masculine energy with exaggerated dependence on feminine qualities.

She may over rely on beauty, youth and sexuality and doesn’t develop other skills

In an effort to secure external validation she may normalize objectification

Her Inability to set boundaries makes her vulnerable to other people’s whims.

Her authenticity is compromised as a result of taking in other people’s dogma.

She hides her capabilities so as not to come across as intimidating to others, especially men.

She represses her anger out of the need to be polite, but indulges in passive aggressive attitudes such as gossiping, spreading rumors manipulation and sabotaging.

She transfers her autonomy and her self-agency to external authorities.

 

IMPACT

 

DOMESTIC ABUSE: Settling for unhealthy partners and staying in unhealthy relationships because she feels incomplete without a male partner may enable domestic abuse.

 

BODY DYSMORPHIA: She may engage in risky surgeries and eating disorder in order to keep with societal expectations for women’s beauty.

 

SHAME: She may feel judged or judge other women for how much they fit into societal expectations for their sex.

 

EPISODES OF HISTRIONICS; Inner rage may flare up when her attachment needs aren’t met, leading to episodes of histrionics in extreme cases.

 

EMOTIONAL STRAIN: Putting others needs and desires before hers and conforming to expectations that leave her unsatisfied and resentful can lead to fatigue.

 

UNDERUTILIZATION OF POTENTIA: Downplaying her capabilities can keep her stuck, or trapped in her career. A lack of agency over her own life and abilities can lead to depression.
