>Jung described the animus as the unconscious masculine side of a woman, and the anima as the unconscious feminine side of a man, each transcending the personal psyche.
Short reply here: For reasons I have been forced to use my animus as my "main" for a long time, my real masculinity hasn't been possible to control.
Recently I realised this is related to the same reason as why Jewish kabbalah can only be taught to men after they turn 40. This has to do with the slow development of the "opposite sex of a person", but it's needed to have this understanding solidly to not turn insane when learning kabbalah. The "entering the orchard", a wordplay based on some Hebrew acronym referring to the 4 different ways to read the Torah. Someone entering the orchard is starting to read the text in all 4 ways, seeing that none of them is the one and only way. But someone who can't balance them and keep alternating between meanings, has "gotten lost in the orchard".

That was a parenthesis.

If the man has a female side and the woman has a male side, doesn't that mean the female side of the man has a masculine side as well? That would be the controlled masculine side. Same thing would be possible in reverse: the masculine side of a woman, would have a female side. I suspect these "roles" are how you get the "pussified married man"/"chad" on one side and the whore/wife on the other side. A complete submission to the opposite sex, with an identification of their perception of what you should be like, but turning out differently depending on how it's applied.

I realize this post has no "point" but it wasn't intended to have, it's an observation.
