Rationality in a Feminine Narrative; Western Discourse

Reason is the distinguishing factor between humans and other animals, and it is a common characteristic among all humans. Through reason, the possibility of argumentation and planning is provided, leading to the growth and progress of human societies. However, women are often accused of lacking reason due to their maternal and affectionate emotions, and it is clear that this lack of reason can be seen as a lack of humanity.

Throughout history, women have been pushed from the public sphere to the private sphere using this excuse, and their voices have not been heard in the design of rationality in shaping human civilization. While it can be argued that if affectionate feminine emotions are in conflict with rationality, aggressive masculine emotions are also in conflict with rationality. So how has masculinity always been described as aligned with rationality, while femininity has been introduced as irrational?
