The difference in man and woman status is largely similar in many civilizations. Man is he-man, the fighter, the protector, the warrior, the samurai, the gladiator, the predominantly 'yang'. Man is not the she-man.
The Chinese cosmic concept of yin-yang is easy to understand. All individuals are a mix of yin and yang. The male is predominantly yang, probably over 80% yang traits and less than 20% yin traits. The female is probably over 80% yin and less and 20% yang. But this yin-yang balance in male and female could change due to nurture and environmental factors. For example, a female who needs to fight for her survival may soon develop 70% or 80% yang. A male brought up in a feminine environment may nurture 70% or 80% yin.
As in all nature, there are always extremities. There are yin-males who are born with 20% yang and 80% yin, and there are yang-females who are born with 20% yin and 80% yang. Yin-males are born effeminate. Yang-females are born manlike. They are rare exceptions, making up 2% or 3% of the population.
However, if society allow these rare exceptions to promote themselves, and be accepted as the mainstream instead of the exceptions, then some normal people would be attracted to experience their lifestyle. The yin-male and yang-female group could grow to make up 50% of the population.
I am fine with yin-man who are born effeminate in mannerism, or woman who are born with manly traits.
I am fine with man who are more comfortable relating to man, or woman who are more comfortable relating to woman. Let this relationship remain platonic.
But I find it disagreeable when same-gender platonic relationship turns sexual. That is disgusting and repulsive.
