How To Be more feminine : 1- Start accepting, recieving. 2- Comunicating our needs. Speaking Up. 3- Choising a partner who wants the same Life objectifs (starting a family or not …etc)

[@isabellezionchipochaishe7103]

2. is Nurturing and 3 is Boundaries. Communicating our needs was an answer to what mistakes do you think most women make

[@draftcomment2comment232]

difficult to receive when uve had to sleep with someone twice against your will because you were charged with being the house-sitter, without being asked, so thought it your duty to protect the family furniture, fittings etc, but then suffered awful social degradation, including from same ppl who volunteered you to be surrogate parent and 'sitter', and psychological pain, as a result.

[@frusia123]

@@draftcomment2comment232 Sleeping with someone against your will has nothing to do with receiving. It's called rape, and it's a crime. It's absolutely normal to feel psychological pain after such an experience, I hope you can find help, and if possible, report the offender to the police.

[@therealkoolaidandkale]

​@draftcomment2comment232 In the most kind way, I hope that you consider talking to the police and a therapist (if you're not already) vs the internet. Someone forcing you to sleep with them against your will is a crime, and there's not much that we here in the internet comments can do. All the best to you and your healing. 💛🙏🏾

Thats not being feminine. Those things are common sense regardless of gender. Being feminine is the opposite of being masculine. But a woman that knows how to kick ass can still be very much feminine.

I understand on the surviving mode, and being tired. I was with a feminine man before, and he doesn’t like to make decisions and take the lead. I ended up leading on everything. In the end, I got exhausted, and we broke up. Being with a masculine partner now, and I let him lead (He is happy to lead), and I am so peaceful and happy. When I don’t have to think of our next step all the time, I have sometime to think about the next step for myself. ❤️

[@mhuntprofessional]

In some other interviews she has actually openly admitted she has self-confidence issues and is frequently self-deprecating to sort of pre-emptively appease an expected aggression she has experienced most of her professional life. Which to me is quite heart-breaking because she is very intelligent and well spoken. But apparently in her field if you are those things but ALSO choose to express yourself in an attractive and ladylike way, everyone just automatically assumes you're a bimbo or a slut or whatever. And would frequently treat her very disrespectfully. So she developed mechanisms to work around that and make herself more likeable, but I think it came at the cost of some pretty deep internal self esteem. She's not faking being nice. She's faking NOT being insecure. And thats a sad thing for anyone to have to do. And worse when there's literally NOTHING for her to be insecure about but she still feels that way because of years of abusive treatment...

[@956judith]

I love Sadia! I’m a teacher too, but sadly even when I was in middle school I saw so many girls talk like men(curse) and physically fight with other females. Femininity is not weakness ❤

[@TheQueenIsWithin]

Femininity is a social construct. Even in nature females fight each other. To say women shouldn't curse or fight just because of biology is foolish. Women have feelings and we're not perfect. I think it's unfair males get to make mistakes and we brand it as boys will be boys, but we act as if girls have to be perfect all the time. Then considering how hard men have made this society not showing assertiveness will place you at a disadvantage. In some cases what femininity has been packaged as has put women at a disadvantage and in some very dangerous situations too.

[@denisesmith8657]

You’re right, “femininity is not a weakness”, but society thinks it is. Consider the phrase, “don’t be a p*ssy!” that a lot men use against each other-since that word is used to name a part of the female anatomy, I think that translates to don’t be a female/weak/woman.

[@fionah3433]

I once saw a quote on FB. It said "Women are not here to do what men can do, we are here to do what men can't do." I thought that was interesting. It seems the concepts of masculinity and femininity have both become very twisted and tied up into a Gordian knot in our culture. It has become very difficult to unravel. This could become a very long post but I will try and be concise. Somewhere along the line women were brainwashed into thinking that nurturing was analogous to being subservient or servile which was somehow seen as "less than." Of course there are many things that men and women can BOTH do, but I think the point of the quote was thought provoking. Men have really been painted into a corner too. Many of the inherently masculine characteristics are now being termed "toxic." Certainly the negative interpretations of this may be true, particularly for men themselves. If you haven't read it, I recommend The Hazards of Being Male. The positive manifestations of masculinity and femininity both should be embraced, encouraged and celebrated. I think the beginning of the problem started with the assumption of gender roles being the ONLY choice for men and women and that they had to be very rigid and were used to force people into molds that were not natural to them but were promoted as being the only acceptable societal choice. Many people are quite happy in embracing traditional gender roles as delineated in Western society. Not everyone is, and we all need to find (or make) our own place in the world. When certain psychological characteristics were determined to be masculine or feminine, it caused a divide. We all have both kinds of characteristics to a greater or lesser degree. I am pretty much a tomboy but loving and nurturing people and animals comes very naturally to me and I embrace it as the best part of myself. I became a caregiver, nursing assistant and mental health therapy tech. I love the part about anticipating needs - very important in both personal and business relationships. Customers like to feel nurtured and cared for too. One comment on the pleasure part mentioned in this video. Pleasure is not the same as happiness. Dr.Robert Lustig's Pleasure vs Happiness videos are wonderful and say it much better than I can- long versions and short versions both available on KZbin.

[@janelysantiago3201]

Excellent

[@Himmiefan]

I think conservative religion, any conservative religion, has played a big part in making the roles very rigid with women on the losing end. As for masculine traits, those labeled toxic are the ones that insecure, emotionally troubled, or narcissistic men use such as being domineering and putting down women and wanting to control them.

[@almira_elli]

For me, receiving and speaking up have been transformative steps on my path to true femininity. It's like a sacred dance of self-discovery. 💖

[@VeX00786]

There is something unique about Sadia when she speaks. It feels like she is the peoples emotions. She is able to articulate exactly what our needs and emotions try to tell us.

[@Bbytelle]

No she’s not. She told me I should be hit harder. She is not the peoples emotions. She has no credentials. She publicly condoned domestic violence in her very public comments

Femininity, to me, is stepping into the fullest expression of yourself. That's subjective. ❤ I think there's some confusion among others as we embrace our natural self and identities because from the outside, it may seem more masculine for some. For me, I'm hyper feminine. For others, their truest self may not.

[@No-js8bs]

I strive to be a traditional woman. I want to be confident and secure in myself enough to just receive like how you are saying. I always feel like a burden and am predominantly unable to receive from others. I'm terrified of hipotheticly, let's say someone I love feeling like I just want to use them. Guys, offer me help all the time, but I fight it. I think it has hurt their feelings. I'm going to try to be more open tword help. It's one of the most difficult things for me. I don't think it's hard because of my pride, I think it's difficult because I'm scared. It's so confusing.

[@jasminasinanbegovic6225]

Pay attention to your childhood time, since everything stems from that time. If you were made feel guilty if you can't do something or you are not willing since it doesn't make sense for you, you will have problems with setting boundaries later. If you were rejected or unheard you will have problems with asking for help. Boundaries and help is what I learn now

[@Camilliamahal]

This is the why people are stuck in illusions. Energy is energy and we are whom we are. Even when we are female to be balanced means we also have masculine energy for we came from male and female. In different experiences and times we draw more so on other energies than others and other times we become more of one than the other but we are both. We don’t need to be taught what is “feminine” by society’s ideals nor another person, for we are all unique. Be you, by whom you were meant to be, not whom others tell you or want to box you in as.

Masculine energy is giving and feminine energy is receiving. Unfortunately, a lot of women, myself included were/are stuck on the idea we need to learn how to do it all so we do not rely on a man. It is then taken to the extreme and makes you impenetrable when a man tries to give. We are human beings and human connection is crucial for us to thrive so let's stop pushing either other way and live in a better balance of masculine and feminine energy. :)
