What are "masculine" and "feminine" energies?
I think the notion of literal masculine and feminine energies in the body are retarded, at least in terms of all the things that people blame situations on. Sure, you could say testosterone is masculine energy, and estrogen is feminine energy, but people talk about integrating these energies and doing other psychological work with them, which pretty much eliminates a simple physical explanation.
I came to an idea for what they mean psychologically.
Masculine energy = Life drive/instinct
Feminine energy = Death drive/instinct

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_drive
The life instinct drives survival, competition, success. Taken overboard (without balance), it can lead to narcissism.
The death instinct drives humility, ego death, cooperation. Taken overboard, it can lead to laziness.
These are paths that the ego can take, towards life or death. An inner life/death. It makes sense that these would be the most fundamental drives in humans, because we have egos and because life/death are the most significant directions that it can go in.
