Sexism and feminism. Hexagrams 58 and 53.3.4 to 12 respectively

[Caritosur]

¡Hola! No soy nuevo en este blog, pero solo he escrito una vez antes.
Contexto: en varias ocasiones me he sentido no acompañada e incluso irrespetada o acusada cuando mis preocupaciones estaban relacionadas con cierto tipo de relaciones que incluían abuso. Lo mismo han sentido al preguntar sobre la justicia por agresiones sexuales o cualquier tipo de situación que implique un equilibrio desigual de derechos entre hombres y mujeres.
He leído que por la cultura de la época el lenguaje puede “ser machista” pero que los conceptos son igualmente útiles si aplico una lectura con “perspectiva de género”. Sin embargo, en más de una ocasión me he encontrado acorralado en respuestas imposibles de transponer. Cansado de sentir que no se puede discutir, básicamente con un libro o lo que sea que me responde a través de él, hoy pregunté:
que es el machismo hexadecimal 58... ¡Me sorprendió! es una gran alegría y un hexagrama absurdamente lleno.
Entonces pregunta ¿qué es el feminismo? hex 53.3.4 a 12... esto es terriblemente triste y doloroso y realmente no creo que esto sea feminismo.
Por favor, agradecería comentarios al respecto y sus experiencias.
saludos desde argentina

Hello Caritosur

That's one subject I'm very sensible to and have written lots of posts about on this forum.

What's machismo? 58uc
58 is about communication.

"Interconnecting pools
Satisfaction
The noble young one, accordingly, joins with friends for discussion and practice" [Bradford].

Seeing this hexagram I even thought about sisterhood but well, you're asking about "machismo". So it can be some sort of (toxic) brotherhood, a way in which people are socialized. That said, women too are largely responsible for this false way of socializing, in my opinion.

What's feminism? 53.3.4>12

A gradual way to go beyond the blocks. In 53.3 the man leaves and the woman refuses to rear the child. Inevitably some traditional ways of living fade. And there are enemies. You should resist. In 53.4 you find a pretty safe stand to live your life but that's not the final destination. You are still on the way.

Good luck

Hi Cartisur
It can be difficult to make sense of the male / female constructs that appear in the I Ching, especially if your cultural or life experiences have produced perspectives of inequality or a sense of injustice between male and female gender.

Saying to you to treat them more as a feminine principle and a masculine principle, may not help in any way, but that is the historical context. Before there was gender assigned the lines were just seen as broken or solid and changing lines transitions between strength and weakness. The early translators assigned strength to the male principle and weakness to the female principle. These became the foundations for the concepts within the I Ching that you struggle with.

What is machismo? 58
Machismo is defined in the dictionary as 'strong or aggressive masculine pride'.

58 speaks to a sense of self expression. It means seeing and letting it be seen. This Yi advises, is best done through a process of repeating over and over with people who are your partners.

What is feminism? 53:3.4 <>12

53 carries a meaning that 'the marrying woman awaits the man's move'. It speaks to a sense of flexible and smooth progress. A progression that is best advanced through living a life of high morals that in time will influence the characters and customs of a community.

Your enquiry into feminism is contained within many Hinderances (12) that have acted to close your progress towards greater understanding.
Incidentally the shadow of 53 is also 12 while it's nuclear is 64 Not yet crossing. I think indicating that the blocks currently in place, with respect to the understanding of feminism, have still to unfold fully, revealing their true purpose.

53.3 speaks to an image of finding the right way forward. Neither the masculine principle nor the feminine principle are fulfilling their roles each separated from the other and seemingly heading in opposite directions. Here in this position, the wrong invaders are being waged war against.

53.4 While things may seem as if they are in retreat, the situation has found a place to settle. Perhaps a place of uneasy equilibrium. This is not a mistake. The understanding of feminism will soon be being embraced in unexpected ways.

.... of course your reading may mean nothing like this at all.

Good Luck
