Freud spoke of the "repudiation of femininity" as being an
"underlying bedrock", part of the "enigma" of sexuality. The enigma
is not so much the refusal of the feminine dimension as such; it
has more to do with rejecting its erotic and genital aspects, as
well as its creation through sexual ecstatic pleasure. Equality
between the sexes is a legitimate demand in the political, social,
and economic spheres, but forming a masculine-feminine relationship
as a couple is a creation of the mind, exalting the acknowledgement
of the otherness which is part of the difference between the sexes.
There is a conflict in woman - and the feminine dimension itself is
rooted in it - between a sexuality that demands "defeat" and an ego
that abhors this. It is the man's masculine dimension - the
antagonist of the phallic one - which creates the feminine
dimension in women, by tearing away their defences and generating
sexual ecstasy. The quality of the sexual, emotional, and social
relationship that is set up between a man and a woman bears witness
to the "work of civilization" (Kulturarbeit).
