The conscious mind includes everything that we are aware of.
Most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable or unpleasant

That is a logically false premise.
Because there are not 100 percent males or females it does not follow that it is an error to divide the brain into male and female aspects. That is like saying there is a lego set that is not 100 percent red, so it is an error to seperate the red pieces from the white pieces.
You are right about only one thing, which is the right brain is not inherently feminine.

I simply disagree with your summary dismissal of Jung, whom apparently you have not read. I simply reiterated the fact that parts of the bran cannot be considered masculine or feminine. I think we agree on that. Our disagreement is to whether or not the entire human psyche can be divided into masculine and feminine aspects. Jung seems to think it can.

Yes, but that doesnt excuse the fact youve committed several egregrious debate fallacies. I am not sold on whether or not subsets of the brain are masculine or feminine or not, but I have a sneaking suspicion they are, as hormones change the physical structure of the brain.

I don't post by those anal retentive views of what debate has to be.
