IMO masculine and feminine are standards of behavior that allow us to categorize people (something the human brain is quite good at and REALLY likes to do... not always to it's benefit).

They are also highly subjective and gender sensitive... the definition of "masculine" for a male is somewhat different from "masculine" for a female.

My subjective opinion of masculine:
- independant
- creative
- logical
- strong
- physical
- internally focused
- morally absolute
and many more...

feminine:
- dependant (not in a negative way... but more along the lines of a person that creates webs of relationships as opposed to "going it alone")
- nurturing
- emotional
- collective
- externally focused
- morally relative
and many more...
