His love of painting, art and poetry
His recommendation of progesterone
A preference for an introspective, reflective thoughtful life
Your title question is about what he believed
But
Your text above is about who he was
So im unsure of what you are askingI comment to point out
Have you seen his subjects of a majority of his artwork?
Naked womenHe was a man who found beauty in women
Extremely “androgenic” although nothing to do with mass or hair etc

Well I guess Jacob was preferred by God to Esau. So there's that.

I found out he was married for decades when he died and the image shattered. Still hard to imagine
Interesting... pretty sure if you listen to his radio shows someone asked if he was married and he said no. Maybe he just didn't want to reveal too much to complete strangers?

@Dedeluded Per my memory of the interviews...
Ray didn't like the concept of marriage, as a form of authoritarian ownership. He'd been with a woman together for many decades but I'm not sure to what extent it was a marriage, or something they thought of as such.
In another interview, Ray was asked what to do if a spouse died. After some grieving he said that one had to go "out to find a suitable replacement", which earned some laughs from the interviewers.
I tend to think he was a stone-cold guy who didn't feel the need to establish a legalized exclusivity of his woman. And not really putting her on a pedestal as The One and Only (if she were to die) at the same time.
I suppose it makes sense in the grander view of metabolism. Grieving for inappropriately long is almost a form of constipation.

@heretoday
He's right on many things but cringe on others. Surprising he managed mostly independent thought through the liberal / socialist revolution period, but many of those views seem to have stuck with him. -

Wtf is this thread? Peat once made an infertile woman ovulate by lending her his cardigan. And that's no joke.

I think he mentioned fertility for men several times, and fertility is one of the most common factors or the most commun factor associated with male, I'm not sure, I think he also mentioned that he often had sex dreams.
If you give credence to theories, Georgie has shared study(s) where progesterone and pregnenolone are most beneficial for male fertility, and that high dose testosterone reduces fertility.

Even if it varies from species to species, the other factors that are commonly associated with males are generally the ability and propensity to compete and fight, fighting physiognomy, and what you have mentionned do not fully prevent that
Also if you look at what is said about animals, for example moose, rams, they don't breed and fight all year round, they do it specifically during the rut at a specific time of the year, so even these two main elements that are associated with males are manifested in specific context

me: do you think being competitive has a place in a healthy individual or would they be fairly indifferent about being better than others?
ray: I think it’s a form of neurosis
me: what do you think of chess as a hobby? Does mental exercise have the same potential to be anti-metabolic as physical exercise does?
ray: I think the abstract nature of games makes them potentially harmful, addictive.
