Actually the book also used other labels for the contrast between behavior
types, e.g. yin and yang.  The book was dealing with archetypes.

It helped me a lot by helping me start accepting the parts of me that are
traditionally "masculine", my built-in rejection of which (presumably
caused by being raised by a mother who divorced my father when I was 8
and never found another man she was willing to marry) has caused some
people to think I was gay.
