It seems like in recent years, I've noticed a growing trend of society, particularly in this generation, looking down on or outright vilifying femininity. Whether it's being labeled as "weak," "outdated," or "performative," femininity is often dismissed or misunderstood.

But why?

There’s nothing wrong with embracing femininity. Being feminine doesn’t equate to lacking strength, intelligence, or independence. It’s simply another way of expressing oneself, and it holds just as much value as any other trait.

Femininity is often about nurturing, creativity, elegance, and emotional intelligence. These qualities are not just valid—they’re necessary for balance in any society. Unfortunately, in an era where hyper-individualism and aggression are often glorified, softer and more traditional traits are sometimes seen as less desirable or even shameful.

To me, femininity isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a choice and a celebration of self. It takes strength to embrace who you are unapologetically, especially when the world tries to diminish you for it.

What are your thoughts? Why do you think society has such a complicated relationship with femininity? And how can we push back against this narrative to reclaim and celebrate it?

Let’s have an honest and open discussion—whether you agree or disagree!

I don't think what you describe is actually happening at any relevant scale.

"Women belong in the kitchen" idiots outnumber "feminity is bad" idiots 10000:1.
