Here to dead the misconception that femininity is a particular dress code or is equivalent to acting in a ladylike manner. Being Ladylike is a behavior that is taught and represents good social grace and standing. (Sitting with your legs closed/Saying please and thank you/Being polite/Wearing makeup/Wearing heels and dresses). These things help with presenting a kinder and more approachable image but it is not the root of what femininity is.
Being Feminine is an innate energy that is about expressing yourself in a way that makes you feel best. Femininity is when you stand in your authentic truth and honor your self worth.
Feminine energy isn鈥檛 always polite nor respectful. Sometimes it鈥檚 destructive and wild.
Femininity is not a exact presentation, style or aesthetic.
It can look like this,
