“The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.” -Brene Brown
Learning to invest in the parts of me that are feminine is starting to feel interesting. First off, I started the day by shaving only one leg. I have no idea what happened there, but I had a morning appointment, so we had to just go with it. I’m laughing at myself right now.
The first thing I’ve learned so far on this journey is that there is no term coined for women that means the same as emasculate (but for women). Society loves to condemn feminine traits. Generally speaking (because baby steps), they like to think pink and glitter make women less powerful. Less capable. And I think that women are fighting for their feminine nature everyday whether they know it or not.
Why isn’t there a term for taking away women’s femininity?
And that’s what led me to tomorrow’s post, What does femininity mean to mean?
