Masculinity and Femininity

Why we can understand a bar spectrum, but not something like a colour-wheel?
Also can't we think of parallels rather than two opposite ends on a scale?

I felt like in this contemporary (heterosexist) world, we are programmed to understand masculinity and femininity as two extreme oppositions. We are also taught the fact that only the merge of masculine and feminine qualities would create balance in the world, blending the Yin and Yang.

But why can't we have things living and expanding in parallel actions? Rather than two bodies sharing the one same scale and tune around it, we should know that each body can have unlimited amount of scales within themselves, or even colour-wheel like palettes?
