I slightly disagree with this idea, although I agree with the article. On an spiritual, energetics level--- these are energies and not behaviors. What the patriarchal understanding is, is behaviors. I've seen many women contest this idea claiming that energies and behaviors are the same, when energies are more in sync and internal than external behaviors. On an energetic level, abuse is the opposite of compassion. So if they think that masculinity means abuse, that's purely misalignment. Masculine energy is nurturing in terms of protection and being a pillar of strength. These ideas aren't solely western, it's a miscontrued and misaligned version of what humans should understand.
