The man is male, the woman is female.

Only they are playing one another's parts, as they must at certain periods.

The dynamic polarity has swung around.
If we look a little closer, we can define this positive and negative business better.

As a matter of fact, positive and negative, passive and active cuts both ways.

If the man, as thinker and doer, is active, or positive, and the woman negative, then, on the other hand, as the initiator of emotion, of feeling, and of sympathetic understanding the woman is positive, the man negative.
