I am not sure what you meaning? However, women tend to be more intuitive than males, and this is associated with spirituality. There is truth behind the women are from Venus and men are from Mars theory. However, social pressures can influence the development of our natural tendencies and shut down our natural abilities.
When we value heighten sensitivity, women and homosexual males can hold a very high status, as people who have special powers. When this is culturally valued, males and females will develop along this line. When it is scorned both males and females will repress their sensitivity, and it will attrophy, resulting in people being insensitive. Women's liberation in the US made it taboo to feminine, resulting in a culture that has lost compassion, and is more prone to war. And oh yes, I do think this is mind control of the most evil kind.
