Femininity is many many things but a big part of it is manipulation, smoke and mirrors.Coming of age I had my Dad almost challenge me...'you're going to have guys lined up out the door' and 'you'd make a good wife someday to a man'
Mixed messages, lmao
What is seen is actually all an illusion, part of the reason why women are so competitive to other women is because if one is successful, she'd have a man under her tiny palm whilst he is completely oblivious to it, thinking he's the man who is in charge and the other woman relegated to obscurity.
It's a high stakes game and that's why it's vicious.
Yet at the same time, if a man is easily controlled then he is of little value, because it displays that he is a man that isn't actually a man but a mere boy.
And a boy would tremble in fear and might cower or worse, run off during a storm.
Consider urself to be lucky, you gals have an inbuilt mechanism to weed out the weak and seek the strong.
Just imagine u r carrying on a weak man's DNA and passing it off to ur offsprings...
