It is not a new thought that differentiates between males and females by the strength of their M~ and G~ sides (respectively).

In relation to Christ – and nowadays, the Church – we can say that males tend to move away from Christ (C) on the outer circle; but that those who move towards Christ will do so in the strongest arc of the inner circle, always bearing in mind the dangers of a reversal and fall through the Lucifer point.*

Females, on the other hand, if they take the shortest apparent approach to Christ, will do so on the final arc of the outer circle: to develop, to integrate, to find Unity, they must turn on to the inner circle through the Transformation Point, and return through Diversity, although always keeping Christ in view in the light of the Spirit. Many women, perhaps because not having experienced the full rigours of the outer circle disintegration (as nor would, of course, men moving from m~ → s~ → C), may tend not to recognise the need for the transformation, but to continue past C and on round the outer circle, losing direct sight (or insight) of Christ until they come up again. Perhaps this is why there has been so little pressure for women priests; and why the Church generally has so few Marys, and so many Marthas.
