Long, boiling hot showers. Followed by lathering myself in body oils and lotion, and then putting on the softest bamboo PJs with the most ridiculous patterns on them, topped off with fluffy socks. Men could never. Well they could, of course but most wouldn’t.
Cooking every meal and wearing dresses. I started wearing more dresses about a year ago and immediately noticed I get a ton of smiles and compliments, mostly from other women (which in my opinion is better than getting those comments from men lol). Huge confidence booster!
Having dedicated women-only nights with my friends and cousins. Started this a few years ago when my friends constantly brought their partners around and I was single and I was sick of it. Married now and these are the hang outs that make me feel most grounded into femininity and womanhood really.
I get your question. As someone who does sports, I naturally move in a more tough and rugged way, and because of that, people sometimes make assumptions about my sexuality.. but whatever they think, it doesn’t really matter. We’re women anyway, and we come in all styles! Personally, to express my feminine side, I love playing with accessories, soft colors, makeup, and even falsies. Also, dresses and skirts too!
lol surprisingly getting tattooed. Made me start to self love my body, I’ve lost a lot of weight and been through horror stories, each tattoo was therapy, cried from venting to my artist not from any pain. It’s spiritual.
Remind yourself you don’t have to fight argue or be defensive it’s okay to not always be understood and to just be comfortable in your own self to the point where how others feel about you doesn’t matter anymore cause it really doesn’t. By this point you’ll just feel so at ease and peaceful that you’ll just radiate feminine energy, calm, and the version of yourself that is truly yourself. Also confidence, be confident no matter what even if you feel you can’t, just fake it till you make it because it does work!! Be confident in yourself, your strengths, your hopes and dreams, and your likes and dislikes as long as their logical of course. To really be “feminine” at least in my eyes is to really love yourself and just be you, everyone is feminine in different ways that stem from their own personalities and identity so be you + confident and there you go! I hope this helps.
I rarely don’t as I rarely really think about my gender. It’s just kinda there, trivial. I do things I enjoy doing, and have both stereotypically feminine and masculine interests and traits.
But I do sometimes acknowledge that I look cute in dresses, when I decide to put one on instead of a t-shirt and joggers, and might do a little happy spin lol. I guess also empathy, resilience, being precise/detail oriented, and being good with animals could be considered stereotypically feminine, and I’m proud about those.
Its been hard for me due to past relationships but I’ve gotten more confident in myself due to my new bf and I’m starting to wear dresses and more girly items.
Being in nature is my biggest one. But also wearing dark clothes, sword fighting, and feeling the rage of my ancestors. To me femininity is not dainty and fragile; it is resilience and flexibility. The women who came before me fought to be here and I want to honour that in whatever way I can.
Also, acting like I did when I was a child. Playing in the mud, hugging dogs, reading books about snakes, doing art, and learning. It makes me feel connected to my family and passions and true to myself.
Probably the only time is when i have an ‘everything’ shower, skincare, hair, shave then extra skincare and actually blowdry my hair afterwards.. other than that probably never 🤣🤣
Hmmm probably my constant listening of Taylor Swift and other pop girls who know how to describe the way I feel things and the stuff I’ve been through. Also painting my nails
Femininity is just a load of arbitrary things that have been designated as a feminine by the society I happen to live in at a time I happen to live in it.
I do me. If it is deemed to be feminine, then ok, if its not, then ok.
Boxing is the only thing that’s ever made me feel feminine. Full pink kit, one of few women at my gym, I actually felt like a woman for once in my life.
I play around with my presentation. Gotten “they-ed” a couple times. Tried not shaving, wasn’t a fan so I went back to it. Love a simple skincare routine but I don’t think that should be gendered, it just feels nice. Women’s clothes, men’s clothes, just depends on the day and what’s comfy. I started doing my eyebrows, just light shaping with a brow razor and I like the feminine feeling of that. Otherwise, it could be argued that just being a woman makes my actions feminine.

Shake da booty
I’m a girly girl! But if I feel like tapping more into my femininity, I usually put on a hot girl spotify playlist – like “Hot Pink”
I dress feminine – skirts, make up, bow in my hair, perfume etc 🙂
Move slowly and gracefully! And speak slowly with a higher voice!
Haha idk
wearing dresses and anything that helps you feel pretty 😊
Makeup session 100%! Whether it’s a full beat just for fun or just touching up my lipstick after a meal, it just fulfills something inside of me. 🥰
i dont
Lingerie
I’m a woman. Everything I do is automatically feminine.
by wearing pink, painting my nails, and rewatching Legally Blonde like it’s a sacred ritual 💅💖 Elle Woods is basically my spirit guide!

Idk what this means. I was born a female and I am still a female 39 years later
Stepping on men.

For me .. no matter what I am doing it’s feminine energy.. I am a woman who lives in her feminine energy 🖤
Tap? I jackhammer

I wear makeup even if I’m not going out. Not a lot but I put it on so I feel amazing no matter what.

Soaking in my bathtub 🛁 and wearing J’adore Dior perfume everyday

I put effort into my appearance. I wear heels, do my hair, wear fitted clothes and accessorize.
Its been hard for me due to past relationships but I’ve gotten more confident in myself due to my new bf and I’m starting to wear dresses and more girly items.

Crack open a beer and smoke salmon
In our fast-paced, impatient world, I take my time. Rushing isn’t feminine

Which “alpha male” influencer did this to you? 🙄

Prayer, introspection and prioritizing self care.

I love exploring femininity through fashion and self-care, it feels so empowering!
Clothes, heels and makeup. Otherwise I exist as grunge.
Do my hair up, put some mascara on, wear form fitting clothes, walk tall and proud
I just remember to add a little sass, a little sparkle, a pair of high heels and maybe some chocolate. Femininity unlocked.
Doing one thing that brings you joy every day.
I exist.
