“Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.” – Garson Kanin
I started to look more into femininity and I found that 54% of women 65+ felt highly feminine in comparison to only 20% of women between the ages of 18-29.
I think several factors are at play here. And now I’m interested. It could be from the demand of social expectations making younger women feel insecure in their femininity, it could be financial burden, and it could be how femininity is treated in the workplace. Or is it that the acceptance of femininity comes with age?
What do you think?
