the other night I was home alone. I got high, put on some good music, wore a pink satin robe and nothing else and just danced around the house. idk the whole time I kept thinking “damn i feel like a woman. and I love it.” it was a nice night.
the fact that we are unapologetically able to be into fashion and aesthetics. i prefer femininity over masculinity, and i like that that comes easier to me as a woman. Oh! Also, girlhood/womanhood!!
Genuine friendships! The intimacy of women’s friendships and knowing from my straight guy friends so many of them don’t have anything like that connection with other guys. It’s so sustaining!
Having an amazing gut instinct. It doesn’t always specify what the issue is, but it lets me know something’s up. It’s so satisfying when it turns out to be right!
Getting ready with my girl friends before we go out somewhere. We did a beach trip and were getting ready for clubbing and it was so fun, there was doja cat blasting on speakers, we were drinking soju with a straw, everyone’s putting makeup on each other and were all sharing clothes and hair accessories and hyping each other up.
Empathy, emotional intelligence, having genuine friendship that are far way more important to me that romantic relationships, going out and talking to friends, self care, exploring hobbies, dressing up, doing my hair, my strong intuition, ambitious, wanting better for the world, sleepovers, creativity, swing beauty in many things, love of books and music, themed friend gatherings at my home, thoughtfulness, etc…
Wearing a killer outfit, walking past construction workers, and watching them not catcall me because I’ve mastered the art of the “I will destroy your bloodline” glare. Then going home, taking off my bra like I’m freeing a trapped soul, eating noodles in bed, and feeling like a goddess of chaos and carbs. That’s peak womanhood, baby.
Being capable of and comfortable with crying to express and process my emotions. I know and love so many men who couldn’t cry even if they wanted to, because they’ve been so thoroughly socialized to avoid it. But it actually relieves stress to cry! I’m grateful that of all the shit that was socialized into me, an aversion to crying wasn’t part of it.
How amazing it was that my body grew humans. Like, that is so mind-blowing. Without me these cool young people I incubated and raised and cared for wouldn’t exist at all.

Being able to cup and caress my boobies as a self-comforting mechanism. Caught myself doing it in public many a time but it’s so comfy!
And also having a community of women around me and feeling instantly better with them when I’m sad!
I got my hair done last night. Everyone was in a good mood, chatting and enjoying themselves. I love being in a fully female space.
My clitoris.

Shaving my legs, putting lotion on and getting under a super soft blanket. I know men could do this too but ive never met one that’s experienced it

Being able to carry snacks, makeup, AND a life crisis in my purse like it’s nothing.
I don’t envy people with a penis. Definitely that.

The few days after my period has stopped.

Wearing cute clothes
so easy to get help. I think I always look like im struggling so ppl help me out
no pressure to be good at sports. Men ive spoken to say they dont face this pressure either but idk i feel like it’s a thing
songs that make you feel sexy as a women and you can dance to
being able to dress up and wear makeup without judgement
kinda relates to the sports thing but less pressure to lift super heavy
No refractory period, close intimate female friendships and great intuition.
Lesbian sex is fire 🔥
Being intimate with my wife
Sex..sex fantasies…masturbation…

cute pjs, lipstick, ability to create life was a big one, raising strong daughters, raising an intelligent son, high heels, dresses with no undies lol
Being soft emotionally
(Not saying men aren’t soft but we are more gravitated to that mindset)
Also I love how most of us have this ability to make things look cute or pretty just because we can lol
Makeup
Being able to hide goodies in my bra 🙂
Other women will obsess with me about things men don’t consider worthy of obsessing over.

Being able to giggle
