What Does Femininity Mean to Me?

“I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.” – Mary Wollstonecraft

The moment I think about the word femininity, a whole swarm of ideas flashes through my brain. Here’s a few. Both men and women have masculine and feminine traits. When you learn to balance them, you do well. Femininity doesn’t automatically mean soft, pinks, and florals. What makes me feel more or less like a woman can be completely different from another woman, and that’s okay. Feminine traits are not something we’re stuck with, but they are worth the investment.

For me, this journey is about finding ways to accept all the parts of me. I want to learn to leverage my femininity and lead with it rather than feeling like I have to defend it when I show up. I hope this journey toward accepting my feminine desires adds to my wisdom and authenticity.

What comes to mind when you hear the word femininity?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
