The line between femininity and masculinity are more blurry and unclear nowadays in the Western world than earlier on. Men and women do more of the same things and have more of the same rights like voting, participating in many of the same jobs, freedom speech, taking care of their own economy, education etc.
In the past it was expected of women to be house wives while men worked outside and earned money, but today it's common for both men and women to work to make their own moneys. More women are independent like men. Both women and men participate in the same sports too like football, do workouts in the gym and so on.
There's still a gendered pattern when people choose jobs. Many women still voluntarily choose to become nurses, teachers for kids and so on, while men often ends up as engineers, economy/bankers or business men, construction workers, miners, truck drivers etc. Although it's voluntarily, there's still traditions out there and some wants to follow them.
There's also still some fashion differences. Yes, men and women both wears pants. But there's still more common for women to wear dresses or skirts than men. Same applies to high heels, makeup, hand bags, long hair and these kinds of things. There's still feminine and masculine things, but they've just lessen.
Feminism or the gender equality movement has off course affected it. If people didn't want to be more equal, this wouldn't happen. :)

Feminism has decreased femininity and has helped to make women feel shameful of desires such as being a stay at home mom. Just listen to former feminists on YouTube and theylll tell you about their mental battle with wanting to be a mom and also wanting to be a career woman as society seems to expect now since feminism has declared that unequal work distribution between the sexes means inequality and badness, rather than hey maybe a lot more women want to be house wives than you thought and maybe women aren’t oppressed but actually had a choice at one time and now that choice has essentially been removed.
Umm no, femininity can't die lol
Being feminine is behavioural, it has always been a thing and it always will be.
Feminism itself, the REAL feminism hasn't decreased femininity in women, but the radicalised feminism definitely has because people think that because they feel 'trapped in the wrong body' means they gotta go and make permanent changes to their bodies.
Personally I see it as a phase, nothing more than a trend kickstarted by social media. Basically the new tribal tattoos, they because super popular for YEARS then all of a sudden they became pure cringe and nobody wanted them. Same thing, just wait and you'll see.
it's not dead, the societal definitions of femininity and masculinity have evolved over the course of time.

No I think women are just finally learning that they define their own womanhood, which might not always be the ultra feminine.
Most women are a little bit both on the spectrum of femininity and masculinity.this is a common misconception of those fearful of feminism... it has nothing to do with forcing all women to dress down but more to do with choice so in reality i dont see any of what you said to be true. here are two feminists i greatly respect... they aren't the usual feminazi image put about by the anti feminism brigade are they?
both seem very feminie to meIt kind of seems like it. I mean look at the quality of women in the dating scene lately. Most don't act that lady like. Honestly as a guy it's frustrating. You want a partner but then all there seems to be left are these women with horrible personalities that just turn you off from them. After a while it seems like there aren't even any good ones life at all. Till you just give up all together.
So feminism is killing masculinity and feminity what do these retards want? Fucking up the gender roles
Think about it. Its the exact opposite. Lesbian feminist retards can't reproduce and pass down their defected genes. Natural selection takes place and there will be more feminine women.
No, femininity and masculinity are a part of our human nature. They will change with the times but they will not go away.
That's IMPOSSIBLE! (Basesd on science.) Only an insecure woman can, herself through will, diminish her OWN femininity.
Neither masculinity nor femininity are dead. There are still masculine men and feminine women. It's just that there are less of them today.
No, not at all.
I don't see a reason not to act like a lady.
I see masculinity around all the time, so no.Nah just evolving on a surface level like it always has.
Under threat (from feminism and homosexuality) but femininity is not dead yet. It will never be, for He who created it will never allow fools to destroy it.
Feminism is destroying both femininity and masculinity. It's raping society in the ass, and it's basically a cancer that needs to be eradicated.
Of course not, but it is hilarious to see how many guys fear feminism.
Endangered certainly. But it still very much exists depending on what country you're in.
I hope feminine women are dying out
They are annoying and act like spoiled princessesNo, I don't think one thing has anything to do with the other.
Oh I fucking certainly hope femininity is dead.
I'm still very much feminine
No.
