Depending on what you're looking for "girly" could fit.

Ex. If a macho man is a "manly man" (which I don't think is entirely accurate because I think the concept of machismo is much more complex than that), then a "girly girl" would kind of be the equivalent?

Alternately, "femme" can be used to mean kind of the same thing but more respectfully since "girly" has a rather childish connotation. "Ultra femme" or "High femme" can be used to describe someone that strives for or is the peak of feminity but then... defining what that means is a whole other thing that's probably just as complex as defining Macho/ Machismo.

Not sure if this helps but I wish you luck in your search for the word.

Spanish gave us the word machismo, and it also conveniently has its opposite, hembrismo. So, yeah, I'd go with that, myself.

bingo

thanks

Depends on what you think the equivalent behaviour is.

If macho is the limited and stereotypical image of manhood than possible it is trad wife.

But that is only one interpretation.

You might want to tread carefully here. Because it’s highly likely that you’re thinking of the traditional representation in media of women, which is typically held by men. A clueless, helpless, beautiful, innocent “Madonna and whore.” It seemed like you were asking (and getting answers for) the women’s version of “macho” culture (which is typically, these days, mixed into the “alpha male” culture). The other side of that same coin would be the “trad wife” thing where women believe they should be under a man’s direction, a wife first and a person second.

Just saying we might not be having the same conversation.

Pick me

Assuming that the common thread is accentuating gender characteristics to an absurd extent for attention

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

I dunno but the first thing that came to mind was terfs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

With the same sort of negative connatations? No.

indeed there is not a word to describe the nuances of a woman who is macho in a women way

thank you for your truthful take
