No. In simple words : feminine has a meaning but not mean "unmasculine".

those are called opposites but not real opposites. Not like hot is opposite of cold. Not: in/out, more / less on/off just called opposites, it is like old dictionary: boy was opposite or antonym girl as a pair, same those are only 2 options of one pair so each of those 2 is not the other. Those are like a pair of socks only 2 in the pair, so called opposites, but not like a pair of shoes where the curve is opposite side. In contrast male and female are like a pair of shoes are opposite.

Yes and no, ideally they are two halves that compliment each other. But it all falls apart when morons (both genders) fail to understand their own role or appreciate the other's role.

Yes pretty much only cause there's no other inity, if you aren't masculine then you are feminine, if you aren't feminine then you are masculine, but the whole thing can be easily confused or twisted

Like jagged pieces of a puzzle. Each piece crosses into the other territory in places. How can it be truly opposite like that?

No, they are different but not opposites

Exactly "empathy has opposite cruel apathy, callous" but feminine empathy does not mean: masculine is lack of concern, or apathy. And my men friends are consistently less callous/ cruel than angry women. "A woman scorned has fury" not a man. We just "get even.".

Not completely. They are complementary
