On Femininity

I've read many posts on forums about the ultimate femme feeling. There are so many different takes on what ultimately helps a man feel like a woman, including being dressed all day going out shopping, getting spa treatments with manicure and pedicures, dating or having sexual relations with a man, even being called miss, ms. or having a door held open for you.


But here's my twist on the ultimate feminine experience: Be a woman when it's not convenient to be a woman. Wear a clingy dress when you feel fat, high heels when your feet hurt from the day before, makeup even though your face broke out or you couldn't hide your facial hair just right, put on the wig even though it's 95 degrees in the shade.

Essentially do the feminine things we love when you don't love them so much.


It is so convenient for us, to be able to shed our skins so easily that we take for granted that WE are the lucky ones. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but I feel lucky.
