Sensitivity which is diligently used to getting the followed main
guidelines right, gives strength. That is why the weak resort to
sensitivity, but sensitivity is good also for the average and for the
strong, bringing them extra strength. Strentgth is a part of
manliness.

Sensitivity brings an enermous amount of observations about life and
about the world. So if those observations are used correctly to get
the proprotions right and main guidelines right in everything, while
the whole flows to the direction of positive feelings and away from
the causes of negative feelings, sensitivity leads to wisdom about
life and about the world. Such emotional kind of wisdom is a part of
womanliness.

Force should be guided by wisdom. So the male should be led by the
female. How is this possible inside the stereotypical view of male and
female roles? The man admires the beauty of the woman, protecting the
things which the woman finds important in life: the things of worth in
the world. They are social with each other, so the sensitivity of the
woman produces extra strength in the man, the more the better friends
they are and the closer the social contact is - i.e. the more the
man's actions are in harmony with the wisdom of the woman. ?:)

The dynamics of this roughly:

Sensitivity to your own principles of functioning, to the ground for
your functioning brings you strength by answering your needs (which
you have in order to safeguard the base for your different functions,
which do support each other). By answering each need you kind of
conquer more ground for you to stand upon, you are like a big tree
with many roots. You have feelings and instincts in order to help you
in this task!

(Why do the dynamics typically go wrong part of the time, strength
gaining room at the expence of wisdom? Then the wisdom has something
badly lacking, it is only partial wisdom. It may for example neglect
the role of tools and education and concentrate solely on natural
means to reach the natural goals that we all have in common and which
are still valid in the tough world. Or it may be women's cultural
wisdom which the individual follows in practise but does not
understand well enough to respect it greatly, not even enough to
follow wisdom instead of foolishness. Or the man may have wisdom of
his own about life giving him strength but lack a holistic view of the
world, so he stumbles around like one in darkness.
These problems are caused by the wrong view on objectivity in schools:
humans' natural intelligence is connected to atmospheres: to noticing
what things are like and what they mean to life. Objectivity does not
mean distancing yourself from the happenings, it does not fit together
with thinking by words, it does not even mean solely pictorial
thinking even though the sense of sight is useful for organising the
memory spatially and so helps a lot in thinking, it does not mean the
absence of life like the colour blue would lead one to think - no, it
means observing life and the world that we live in, observing it from
the point of view of life, of how we together create our living
conditions, so atmospheres and sensory perceptions are good for that,
all the natural sides of human life have their usefulness to thinking:
the body teaches us to handle wholes in thinking, to make perspective
shifts etc., and even the sense of beauty has its own uses in
thinking.)
So what one should do, is to seek to healthy and follow it in one's
own ways of living and doing.
