I'm a beginner in this and totally far away from being a master at energy stuff, but I can feel "things" (energy? vibes?) coming from people. Some people feel angular and flat (= square energy) while others feel more deep and smooth (= round energy). Very few people are at one or the other extreme, most of them are somewhere in between.

thus talking about male/female energies is meaningless.

I was very surprised indeed to learn here in these forums that these two expressions of energy are called "masculine" and "feminine" because from my small experience, being angular or smooth doesn't depend on people's gender. Maybe I'm biased because I attract only some specific kind of people?

Why not just use the word masculine/feminine? Instead of saying one possesses 'male energy', why not just say one possesses masculine traits (in the traditional sense)? There's no need to complicate things by adding the word energy.

Well... In my eyes and based on this experience of mine, someone's behavior reflects how square or round their energy is. So for me, energy is essential and doesn't complicate things. On the contrary, it explains a lot.
I refuse to use the words "masculine" and "feminine" exactly because I think it doesn't depend on our biological gender. That's exactly my point.
Socialization makes men want to be more angular and women want to be more smooth and I think we should not reinforce such stereotypes, because there are also many round men and square women who suffer from feeling inadequate and who would be much more successful if they just accepted their dominant energy and learned how to use it efficiently. Both energies can lead to great results, not only the "male" one.
Saying about a man that he has mostly "feminine traits" sounds a bit like he's not really a man, and should be more manly. Whereas saying he works predominantly with round energy is more neutral, it doesn't contain any judgement about his masculinity. Guys with round energy can be terribly manly, I know enough of them to tell
I guess I'm not being clear, it's quite late here now...
