The article discusses the trend of "gender-coding" in politics and how politicians and corporations (namely Facebook in this case) often use it to distract from the problems they cause for society.

The worst part is that masculine/feminine energy are actually concepts from Taoism (but it’s WAY different from this weird alfalfa male stuff), and now Western liberals assume you’re one of these weirdos when you talk about the energies.

For example the Taoist concept of it says that nobody could live a happy life with only one energy (for example a father has to have feminine energy to properly show love to their children) and everyone needs to be introspective to feel what balance is best for them.

I'd think most liberals wouldn't associate you with the schrigma male crowd if you call it "yang energy" instead of masculine energy. It does come with a higher chance they'll think you're an evil CCP spy or that they won't know wtf you're talking about though.
