Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Reading about reincarnation and New Age degrees in the same post made me think about reincarnation as a metaphor for a major life change. Like when I grew up there was a moment when I realized Santa Claus isn't real and that everyone I trusted lied to me. That change was like accidentally crushing a snake. Then later on I choose to wake up to The Science and that was like consciously crushing a snake. Rationalizing these changes in terms of male/female seems like a fruitful area for thought.
