Masculine vs Feminine view of history

We must also guard against a masculine view of history based on conflict and triumph alone. This has been popularized by Western academics and their love for the Hegelian dialectic, where thesis creates antithesis until there is resolution and a new thesis. This approach assumes that history has a natural direction and purpose.

The feminine view of history does not view it as a conflict but as a continuous synthesis. Everything in past influences present, everything in present influences future.

Here the world has no beginning, no end, no value, no purpose. All meaning is created by humans, individually and collectively: the boundaries we establish and fight over.
