Sex and Character by Otto Weininger

Today I was reading through Wikipedia, and how it usually goes (and what makes it such a lovely thing..) is, I managed to cyberly Stumble on so many topics I would normally never just Think of reading off the top of the bat.~

Who really remembers the Root-topic, but what matters is, one thing led to the next, and I came across a Austrian author & philosopher by the name of Otto Weininger (who died at 23). What I found interesting was a book he wrote titled Sex and Character, which aruges that:
"that all people are composed of a mixture of the male and the female substance,"

This to me, is a rather interesting concept, which basically follows the acient teachings of Black & White, good & evil, light & darkness, and all the rest, but, in a more Down to earth context.

"The male aspect is active, productive, conscious and moral/logical, while the female aspect is passive, unproductive, unconscious and amoral/alogical."

"the female life is consumed with the sexual function: both with the act, as a prostitute, and the product, as a mother. Woman is a "matchmaker". By contrast, the duty of the male, or the masculine aspect of personality, is to strive to become a genius, and to forego sexuality for an abstract love of the absolute, God, which he finds within himself."

Now, dont get me wrong or the author of which either, this is no Sexist statement, just as the age old legends we are faced with, there always has to be a Dragon & a Prince; someone has to be the face of the Opposites.
I see nothing as completely good, nor bad.~ We are all made up of Both good & evil, and thats what I see this idea as touching upon. It's almost a Yin & Yang, which we all are made up of, and I find it interesting to put it down in a Human form.
