quick reminder that if you are caring, empathetic, emotional, homely, etc, no matter your gender, it DOES NOT mean you are weak at all. these more "feminine" qualities should not be associated with weakness and to do so is kinda stupid

for instance, you can be highly caring and emotional while still be strong af. and you can still love wearing dresses, love wearing makeup, or love cooking or whatever and still be powerful. femininity =/= weakness

this is something i have to remind myself frequently too

and also let's not forget that masculinity and femininity are human-made traits that generations ago they decided one should be for boys and one for girls, when in reality they're just personality traits that both men and women can have and that's it.

that's how i see it anyway
