One of the things that really appealed to me about neopaganism was the concept of "dynamic polarity"; the pendulum of a clock, not caught up at one end or the other, or even in the middle, but constantly in motion. I've seen some hopes expressed for a future when all genders are the same (dressing the same, looking the same, sounding the same), and I don't like that idea at all. Equal, yes, please gods. Never the same.
Masculinity has the potential to be a good thing, I don't deny that. But it's still mostly potential, and the achievement is long overdue.
