Everyone has heard about how men have a feminine side and women a masculine one. How true is that? And if it’s the case, how does the concept typically manifest itself? Is it a good thing, or is it something we would be better off minimizing the effects of?
And wait a minute…are the traits and behaviors that we somewhat automatically consider masculine or feminine really such, or are they simply human?
What if all of this is just a social construct to begin with? But what if it isn’t? Then what? Does that change the whole perspective? I mean, if masculinity is ‘toxic’ as we’re led to believe nowadays, why are so many women trying to act like men?
What if we all migrated toward the feminine instead? But can’t there be such a thing as ‘toxic femininity’ in that case? After all, is femininity always ‘soft’ and inherently innocuous?
And what of the idea that masculine dominance is sexy to women…how can that be? How come there are tomboys but no such thing as a tomgirl? What do single moms have to do with all of this?
Stay tuned for the trait we’ve never really considered feminine before, but just might be…and we make a solid case for it. But all the while we’re the same couple of dorks you know and love, who may or may not have knocked back a couple before hitting ‘record’ on this episode.
