I have to point out that yin and yang is not about dominance and submission but truly about the co existing and balance of opposites, neither one of which can exist or thrive without the other. If I am 'dark' and ''silence' and 'below' then I am that which makes 'light' and 'sound' and 'above' meaningful, or to put another way, utterly meaningless without me.

Why do you suppose that the 'natural' order of things is for males to dominate females? Because you think it's always been so? Those books? I guess you'll never change your beliefs about that but I would simply say that this is just one orthodoxy among many that, like many orthodoxies, is worth challenging.
