Feminism Vs Femininity by HRhotness(f): 4:22pm On Nov 05, 2008
The label feminist in todays world has eveolevd to a whole lot more than womens rights (right to vote, equal pay, against discrimintation, sexual harassment, domestic violence etc) but also to include gender equality and in most extreme cases the emasculation of male gender.

woman r getting stronger and more ascertieve at work, on the streets and even in the home. thats good news to all pro-feminists but at what price? for many women they need to put on a presona in order to comand the respect they deserve and this involves dressing a certain way and using new mannerisms which r often not feminine.

many men r unattracted to the feminist or a strong independent woman not becos he feels insecure in himself but sofetn becos she seems to hav lost her femininty. I guess it cant be helped as society is still largely sexists and woman needs to be more like a man in order to succeed but i cant help but wonder is ther truely no way to find a balance?

can a woman still be the CEO of a multinational company and without letting go of her femininity?

Yes, she can.

I think men need to start reassessing their ego. There is a difference between a "balls to the wall" hard hitting feminist and a woman who is smart, knows herself and her worth and acts like it.
