Do you think submissiveness and passiveness is the essence of femininity?

[Anonymous]

Many people think femininity means wearing dresses or cooking or putting on makeup.

But in my opinion, unless a woman has submissiveness or passiveness or the willingness to follow rather than lead.

She isn't truly feminine at her core.

The vast majority of women will be submissive to the ”right” men. If he’s masculine, calm, she respects and really trusts him, feel like he’s got it and she doesn’t have to worry about anything, he allows her to be her feminine self in all areas of life and he takes on the providing, protecting, leading, assertive role… She’ll let go of her masculine energy (which is otherwise needed for her to go through life today) and naturally melt into her more feminine and submissive self. So if you can’t get any women to submit to you… look at yourself first. If it’s one or two women ok, maybe they’re the exception to the general rule and they’re just more masculine in nature, but if it’s most or all women then the problem is with you and the energy you give off.

I think femininity exists on a spectrum or a range. Its not just she's feminine or masculine. Not as black or white as that.

For me, being submissive and passive has always been my default whether the man is a beta or an alpha. I'm just incapable of being dominant or masculine.

A women can only be submissive when the guy is loyal , a leader and provider , if a women is masculine it means her man is feminine

Nahhh. That means u are weak

[Asker]

part of being feminine is being passive and weak.

I would say I'm emotionally resilient and tough in handling life's challenges. I'm that bug that never dies no matter how many times it gets stepped on.

But I do have a harder time being assertive when I need to be. I am not loud, outspoken or arrogant. But I attribute this to being feminine.

@opinion Owner

I have been called the most feminine by masculine men.

I think it's one aspect that is feminine, and it may be a very prominent one, but I wouldn't say a woman isn't feminine if she's not passive or submissive.

For example, I'm sure we'd all agree the desire to nurture is feminine. If you take two women exactly the same, the desire to nurture, prominent emotions, etc. But one is passive/submissive and the other is not, it's not that only one of them is feminine, it's just that one is more feminine.

Men can be nurturing too. Is it uncommon for fathers to play with and teach their kids?

Those are historically traits linked to women, but I don't find them essential. I wouldn't want to date someone who is just my underling. I want someone who is more of a partner.

💯. We can't lead if y'all don't listen and follow.
