Question: How does the wisdom of Kabbalah relate to men and women? Is it according to gender, according to how they think, or is it something else?
Answer: Both men and women are the feminine receiving part relative to the Upper Light [1]. In the spiritual world, a male (man) is someone who receives in order to bestow [2]. Bestowal is the male part because we turn our female part into a male part and the female part continues to receive. A force that resists the ego [3], which is called a Masach (screen), is created as a result of spiritual development, and then the resistance is in the form of male or female regardless of one’s gender.
