Some yogis incorporate both the masculine and feminine elements. Examples for this are Yogananda and Ramakrishna.

Yogis who lack a feminine aspect are likely to get in trouble with women.

If you would analyze or hear the Ramakrishna Mission Swamis' talks, their doctrination is mainly endored &/or based on Shankara's writing.

No doubt. They have published a lot of scriptures including Vedas and Upanishads, but invariably with Shankara's commentaries. They also claim you have to study Vivekananda first in order to understand Ramakrishna.

This is from Durga Ma's book:

I remember once when Master was scolding me, I don't recall the incident for there were so many, because I fully deserved them, but to this one in particular, I answered, "After all, Sir, I am a grown woman." His face became crestfallen and he answered, "I wish you hadn't said that, because I never see you all as grown women but as children of God." Believe me, I never said that again.

-- A Paramhansa Yogananda Trilogy of Divine Love, 1992 edition, p.32
