Deep dives
Toxic Femininity
Toxic femininity involves self-obsession, using beauty and sexuality to manipulate, rejecting feminine beauty, viewing men as conquests or enemies, rejecting motherhood, weaponizing or being ruled by emotions, putting other women down, and rejecting one's own femininity.
Positive Femininity
Positive femininity is characterized by harmony, celebrating true beauty and femininity, love and kindness towards others, commitment in relationships, celebrating other women, embracing motherhood, and honoring virtue and character.
Role Models of True Femininity
Role models of true femininity include Grace Kelly, Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Jackie Kennedy, and Michelle Obama (in terms of commitment and fidelity). Their qualities include beauty, classiness, love of family, commitment, celebration of femininity, and honor of character.
The Power of Femininity
Femininity is more than just the color pink. It is a powerful force that encompasses virtue, love, and service to others. Embracing and celebrating femininity is a beautiful way to live and fulfill one's unique calling.
The billion dollar Taylor Swift Era’s tour and Barbie’s box office success show a culture hungry for presentations of the feminine. Today I share my thoughts on the way femininity is portrayed in the media as I consider what is toxic and what is authentic.
