Can we discuss the yielding aspect of the post on Psychological Femininity?

Yielding. To yield is to submit, defer, and/or relinquish oneself to a higher power. Too often women vie for dominance within a relationship, stirring up drama instead of simply allowing their man to lead. “Allowing” does not mean giving the man permission to lead, it means stepping out of the way so that he can step up. How to be more yielding? Say yes more. Be flexible and generous. Let go of the need to control everything.

For me ’yielding’ isn’t an influence that changes my actions. It feels as though it doesn’t come into play, something else already makes me react the way applying ’yielding’ would look like. Well that is what I think but is that actually true? There are no situations where I could yield instead of whatever I’m choosing?

What is your relationship with yielding? or what is a situation where you would act differently were it not for applying it? Is your world very different whether you apply it or pretty much the same? Experiences to share?

What is yielding that is exclusively done by the woman counterpart? Is the man counterpart ’granting’? If so, is the only difference the spirit in which the decisions are made (making the actions interchangeable)? or are the outcomes, or some other factor, determining what is yielding?

Can we discuss real life examples of this? It’s a little more helpful than discussing the concept because examples fill out more of the detail questions one might have. They can also contain details that obscure our understanding of course, so the more examples the better.

I don’t want to frame the conversation too much so I’ll stop here.
