ok i'll bite and see where it goes. i still think the intuitive resonance thing is an important part of this, but there could be multiple things going on here as well.

how would i integrate the masculinity? i don't think i judge myself for those qualities, if anything i am proud that i am not like the stereotypical, 'what's wrong? -nothing' female.

i took a look at the page about the Jung concepts and found this in reference to the inner male in females: "The process of Animus development deals with cultivating an independent and non-socially subjugated idea of self by embodying a deeper word (as per a specific existential outlook) and manifesting this word."

i definitely have an existential outlook that is not socially sanctioned, and i share that view freely as long as i won't disrespect a person's free will. (i used to just share it in all settings, but this became problematic and i realized honoring others' free will is an appropriate step).

so anyway, those who think this is not really about sexual preference, how would i go about acknowledging the masculine traits more than i already do?
