We move now from the concept of woman
(marîa) as an independent individualized human
being, to the concept of the female (untha) which
thrusts her into a duo, a couple, a relationship
with the other, "the male". And it is here, on the
level of femaleness, that differences in the roles
and the cosmic degrees emerge. Ibn 'Arabî says
regarding the two aspects of equality and
discrimination: "Whoever regards humanity
equates women to men, and whoever regards
maleness and femaleness, and God's words: -
Men have a degree over them [women],' and
made the actor prevail over the acted-upon,
discriminates between men and women."

We would like to point out here that femaleness is
an ontological degree, a quality, position and role,
not a specific being. This means that there is no
ontological impediment preventing a male being
in the degree of femaleness (a female male) or a
female being in the degree of maleness (a male
female), or for the same person to be in one place
a female and in another a male. And what is
meant by that will be clear when dealing with the
subject in the following two subsections.
