I believe femininity to be a lost art. Indeed, it is an art. Femininity is in stark contrast to feminism in that it requires care, finesse, and confidence in who you were created to be to achieve it. Feminism, not so much. I find femininity to be effortless. Unlike the constant and incessant haranguing of feminists to prove their place in the world, women who are feminine present no such display of posturing. The differences between femininity and feminism are, in my humble opinion, obvious; however, for those who remain confounded by its mystique, indulge me in this “Compare and Contrast.”
Femininity is effortless—Feminism, labored.
....
Femininity is gracious—Feminism, uncongenial.

Bookmarking, as this looks to become an interesting thread.
Bump for later

Women acting like men should honestly be called masculinism, not feminism. But leftists aren’t honest about anything, ever.
Thanks for that. Gives me hope for women in this dark time.
I’ve been missing femininity in our society for decades. Feminism is not appealing to many men. It’s not because it’s threatening or it’s competition; it’s because it squashes womens’ natural beauty and allure. I love real women; today’s femi-leftist Karens - no thanks. Hence, sadly, MGTOW was born.
Gals: Authentic men are missing real women in a big way.
I have never seen a woman act like a man. I have seen lots of women acting like a caricature of men, what they think we act like or what they believe we act like.
But none have actually ever acted like a man. If you want proof, put up a picture of a baby or young kid with a puppy/kitten in your cubicle/office/workshop, etc.
The males, if they say anything, will say something pabulum and maybe ask about the kids. The female pretending to be male will always look close and tell you how cute the photo is and try to say something. But the eyes always give it away. The men will look, get the information, then move on. The females will look, stare at each part, and their eyes will wish it for themselves. They will lust for that softness.
I stand ready to be flamed.
"Feminists"...not so much. They come across to men as angry creatures that we tend to stay away from. Maybe beta males will latch on to a "feminist" but no real man would.
