Femininity without consumerism

Femininity means empathy, intuition, and strength-in-vulnerability.

Masculinity is power; femininity is resilience.

Masculinity is stoicism; femininity is empathy.

Masculinity is logical problem-solving; femininity is intuitively guessing the right answer.

Masculinity is solving the problem directly in front of you; femininity is protecting the long-term goals that make solving that problem important in the first place.

In an ideal world, these compliment each other, and people can choose how much masculinity or femininity to embody for themselves.

In our world, men are covertly rewarded for hypermasculinity while berated for not being feminine enough, and women are rewarded for co-opting the benefits of masculinity without taking on the consummate responsibilities.

I think parts of consumerism are OK, as creamy soft skins, nice smelling perfumes are indeed feminine.

To me feminity is motherhood and the preparation for it. Even in a young age like 20 a feminine girls looks at men through the eyes of "Does he worth it to get pregnant for him, and if yes, how do I behave so that he will want it?"

From a teoretical standpoint, beeing a kind understanding patient motherly person.

From a practical standpoint neutral, adaptive, flexible they need adapt to my life and compliment it, accentuate the good parts, support the bad parts, it's kinda like defense vs offence, the male scores points, but the female, keeps the advantage and gives the offence a chance to rest and recover.

Femininity is the add-on to masculinity. In every area where masculinity fails there is the feminine to take up the slack. It is not beauty although we tend to find it beautiful. It is caring, sensitivity, emotional vulnerability (and sometimes physical), a desire to nurture and to bring out the best of things.
