In "That Hideous Strength", the last book in the reasonably well known
science fiction trilogy by C.S. Lewis (a well known christian, now dead),
he uses the idea of masculinity as a relative quality.
For example, God is more masculine than the angels, who are masculine than..
.. than men who are more masculine than women. I haven't read the novel
recently, so I can't remember more than a vague idea of what he was talking
about; maybe he was taking about authority, or dominance (in essence,
not by force). 
   Does anyone in netland know where this idea of his came from ?
