If you grew up in a climate, both societal and in the media, where everything remotely feminine equalled weak and bad, it leaves a mark and develops sometimes into internalized misogyny. Been there, experienced that in my childhood. It's not easy to get rid of that.

Wearing dresses was girly and girly was stupid, if you were a boy who did it you were called a girl as an insult (and obviously also received gay slurs)
"You throw like a girl" = "You throw badly"
"Don't be such a girl" = "Don't be such a coward / emotional"
Media representing women through the male gaze so women can't identify with those female characters (bc they're not shown as human, just sexually attractive) and hence, reject that way of "being perceived as feminine" because it makes them feel icky and wrong and they want to distance themselves from that image as far as possible.

Other than that, just personal expression as you get older. Dressing preferences don't mean shit. We can never win.

The ones that I know who have somewhat masculine traits were raised in places, where female traits like empathy, sensitivity, courage in the face of risk, and gentleness, were punished and penalized.

I've had people get offended when I tried to be nice to them, cause they thought my kindness went against their expectations. I've had people take advantage of me when I was nice to them. I've had people bully me when I do not fight back or threaten them the way their other opponents do.

I still get positive reinforcement from many people and I'm somewhat feminine but I know people who faced cruelty and became cruel too because they did not resist the bad pressures in their life to act out in bad and toxic ways.

I mean masculinity is kinda cool. I can see why women like it. Femininity is pretty cool too though, and I still see a lot of feminine women around the city. Although what is in fashion as masculine and feminine has certainly changed from say the 1950s. Gotta be on the lookout for that 2020s feminine style.

Modern culture driven by the elites who are puppets for the devil are trying to blur the lines and confuse the masses. Makes people easier to control and manipulate. But it's just an attempt to reject and rebel against God of how He set things up from the beginning

DishLady · Answer

We don’t. Some girls just grown up liking certain things over others and they’re labeled by society as being more or less feminine. Or… some folks still see a professional woman as being more b****y than feminine, which is an upsetting negative ascribed to professional women who are compelled to be a certain way just to earn an equal salary or opportunity as their male counterparts in the workplace. 🤦🏻‍♀️

There are also some guys who are dubbed as being “more feminine” just because they are a bit emotional or like art or whatever.

It’s just a matter of being too reductive in our assessment of others.

And so many of them are more masculine than most men. So many men are growing beards because its the only way they can show they're men in the street and it just shows how blurry gender is. The main reason guts get rejected is she's more masculine than he is.

lmao...

different people express themselves differently. Some men wear dresses and makeup, some women wear trousers and short hair... I can't see any problem with that

the freedom of expressing ourselves...

Probably mostly from not having a father in the household. Being raised by a mother alone and seeing that a woman can take on both roles which sets the next generation of women up for failure. It's also society pushing women to be more masculine. Taking on more masculine roles and pushing men out of their traditional roles causing them to be more effeminate. It's all due to feminism which I hate with a passion.

I think its a style/image choice more than anything which makes the girl standout. That being said, I think the actress in the photo is a total cutey/hottie.

Because being feminine gets you hurt and the main reason we are o masculine is because men are not men anymore… Trust me if men were doing their job correctly their would not be any masculine women..

What? Not the women I know! I guess I hang out with women +/- 30. Is it the generation younger?

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I see both fem and masculine women. There's a lot that are feminine. It's just how some women want to dress, look, and express themselves.

genericname85 · Answer

fact is: women that are masculine are less attractive to men that are feminine. and if a woman is not feminine, men are likely not her target audience.

electromagnetic · Answer

Because they like girls too. It’s competition to who can be the most manly.

People are now less forced to be feminine, so they aren’t because they don’t want to be.
