What The Hell Has Happened To Females and Femininity?

 

Are Ladies The New Breed Of Macho?

Are Ladies The New Breed Of Macho?

Is it just me? Or have you also noticed how western women have become less feminine? Most of the women I meet seem to be always challenging - and sometimes downright aggressive.

Now I'm all for equality - but does it have to mean that women stop being feminine? Surely women can be strong AND feminine.

I mean, there's really nothing attractive about an aggressive, demanding woman is there? Personally, I like a woman to be feminine and confident in her own feminine sexuality. I don’t want a woman to think or act like a bloke – it’s a big turn-off.

And have you noticed how it happens everywhere - these days you see more and more females following role models like Rosanne Barr and Rosie O'Donnell. And very few like Marilyn Munroe and Sophia Loren. 

I believe that this trend is directly impacting the number of women you attract into your life. And by "impacting" I mean reducing the number of women you can attract into your life.  

When I first realised this I was shocked. But now more and more men seem to be having the same issues.

Let me explain.

In the western world, men are encouraged to be less masculine and more feminine, while women are encouraged to be less feminine and more masculine.  Look around and see if I'm wrong.

Are All Women Now Conditioned To "Never Trust A Man?"

Are All Women Now Conditioned To Never Trust A Man?

Men seem to think they better show off their sensitive, caring and emotional natures.  At the same time, women are encouraged to be single-minded, dominant and career-oriented. The mainstream media tells women to be self-supportive and not to rely on men. Masculine traits in women are now seen as strong, encouraged and necessary.   See if you can find a women these days, who's not been taught to never rely on a man.  And there's no doubt that many men have turned more effeminate in their misguided effort to please and attract women.

So what's the result?

Women don't like it either! While women claimed that they wanted a “man in touch with his feminine side”, it's obvious that this type of behaviour is just not attractive to them.

What a double-edged sword for guys. We're told not be "macho" or "chauvinistic". But being soft and effeminate just puts women off. In trying to please women by being more "sensitive", men have lost their naturally attractive male qualities.  As men have developed a more sensitive side to their characters, women have come to view such men as weak and untrustworthy.

And women are never attracted to men who are weak and untrustworthy.

Well, I've got more to say on this, but tell me what you think.

Is the root cause of this problem a loss of femininity in women? Have you also noticed that women have become less feminine? Or maybe you like to be bossed around and challenged on every decision by women. Is it affecting your relationships and dating?  And who's to blame?

Let's hear what you think.

I'm interested to hear more about this perspective that you have. I think there is a lot of truth in how society conditions men and women to be a certain way. I guess it comes down to personal choice, but I have noticed that western women arent attracted to sensitive guys - they still prefer the "bad boy" type.

Thanks Richard…

Yes, you're right. And the sensitive guys don't get it.

Talk to any women. You'll find that while they may admit to wanting to "control" a guy….at the same time, a guy that they can control is, actually, unattractive to them.

At a deep level she knows, if she can control him, so can any other women. There is no basis for trust or security there.

So yeah, even though her conscious mind is telling her that the Bad Boy is gunna be bad news for her…he's still gunna come out in front of the sensitive guy.

Any guy who thinks he can win her admiration and affection by letting her lead him around by the nose, will always find "he's just a friend".

I've read recently that stress has caused hormone changes in woman that didn't happened a couple of generations ago. The kind of work women do now causes the kind of stress that affects their waist to hip ratio — making them look more masculine. I forget the details of the research. Perhaps this changes women's behavior.

I am female. I've always acted and feel more masculine than other females. I was in a line of work that is mostly dominated by males. I did feel confident, aggressive, etc… but after I gave birth to my first child this all changed. Environment/hormones is not something individuals have control over.

Very interesting Wai.

It stands to reason that environment changes hormone, which changes behavior, which changes environment ….and so on.

But I have never heard about research showing a physical change in women's body's such as waist to hip ratio. (Which, I would imagine has some effect on child birth.)

If you come across that research, would like to hear more.

On another level, I don't really agree that we are victims and powerless over our environment.

In summary, "Stop having opinions, ladies, and get back in the kitchen." Lovely
