Wife = Yang / Husband = Yin ???
[edit]The article currently has an uncited sentence which reads "Ban Zhao compared marriage to the Dao, with the husband as the yin and the wife as the yang."
I'm wondering if this is a mistake, and was supposed to be written "Ban Zhao compared marriage to the Dao, with the husband as the yang and the wife as the yin."
This is the orthodox explanation of gendered Daoism that I have encountered in every work about Daoism which I have read, and it seems to me as if Ban Zhao would have been engaged in a radical inversion of traditional thought if she asserted otherwise, which does not seem consistent with her personality and reputation...
