Defining the Feminine in Dating

What makes a woman feminine? Specifically, what makes a woman feminine to a man who is considering her for a relationship?

Most women cannot answer this question with any depth, precision, or thoughtfulness. They focus on aesthetic qualities they believe enhance their beauty: wardrobe, make-up, jewelry. Essentially, for a woman, being feminine is about hair and nails.

But isn’t it about more than appearance?

Women today are distinctly lacking in femininity. Most come across, shockingly, as masculine. Even women who do attend to their physical beauty and attractiveness often lack femininity. This comes from a misguided attitude and philosophy they wrongly believe to be empowering. They issue unreasonable, one-sided demands. They reek of entitlement. They imbue their personalities with a stench of narcissism detectable from across the room. All of this, of course, is the product of feminism, which preaches independence, egalitarianism, and the diminishment of men. Feminism, ironically, has destroyed the feminine.
