Describing the two sexes as opposite or complementary, rather than
useful to each other for certain things but not for others, promotes
the misleading idea that we are all in search of completion.
Bewitched by the notion of being complete, we
become obsessed by notions of sameness and difference, by thoughts of what to
include and what to reject in order to keep ourselves whole
But maintaining this icon of ourselves confronts us with a paradoxical
question: if we have an identity what are we identical to?
