When the sex is female:
and the Ego and Identity are both female, they are in agreement and are the normal and preponderant archetype in patriarchal society. A woman has naturally a female Ego and may be expected to assume a female Identity, like home-maker, secretary, nurse or school teacher.
The Identity may determine the degree of femininity
or submissiveness. The Alter-Identity is male: or female/male heterosexual of the matriarchal society.
When the sex is female:
and Ego is female while the Identity is male, means the heterosexual woman may feel more like woman but prefers the male Identity. This might be a commanding, bossy, strong, masculine, leader type, but who feels herself as feminine. This may be the archetype of the matriarchal society. There may exist a conflict here with the normal male Ego and Identity, and a more compatible
mate might be the male with the female Ego and the male Identity. The Alter-Identity is female: or female/female lesbian.
When the sex is female:
and the Ego is male while the Identity is female, may be representative of a woman who feels like a man and thus incompatible with another man, but has a female Identity and thus is a submissive lesbian. The Alter-Identity is male: or male/male lesbian, as the opposite or dominant role.
When the sex is female:
and the Ego is male while the Identity is male, the woman may be a dominant lesbian. This woman feels, has the Identity, and acts like a man. The Alter-Identity is female: or male/female lesbian, as the opposite
of the dominant. Lesbians then might easily and comfortably be able to switch roles.
