What Does It Mean To Be Feminine?

What images does the word ‘femininity’ conjure up for you? Do you see it as something that is weak and frail? Do you associate it with passivity and subservience? For many people, the concept of femininity has been shaped by societal norms and expectations that often limit women’s power and agency. We might think we are expected to be less than and not step on someone’s toes in order to be ladylike and seen as acceptable. But, ask yourself, is this the truth? And do you have to live by these notions? Is there really only one definition of femininity, or can we redefine it on our own terms? Can we reclaim femininity and tap into its inherent power and influence? By embracing Dark Femininity, we can break free from these confining stereotypes and explore the full range of our abilities and potential.

What Is Dark Femininity?

Dark Femininity is a representation of the aspects of femininity that have been historically marginalized, repressed, or overlooked. It is a way to reclaim and redefine femininity on your own terms, embracing traits that have been deemed “dark” or unconventional. This is important, especially for women who feel like they have been abused or misused by people, or have had to suffer under societal norms and expectations of what a woman is supposed to be. By embracing Dark Femininity, women can tap into their inner strength, assertiveness, and strategic thinking to navigate the world and get what they want.

Embracing Dark Femininity

Do you wonder what dark femininity looks like exactly? Here is a list of traits and characteristics associated with Dark Femininity:

• Assertiveness: Express your desires and needs without fear or hesitation.
• Confidence: Being confident in your abilities and knowing that only you can be you.
• Independence: Being self-reliant and able to stand on your own two feet without relying on others for validation or support.
• Strategic: Thinking critically and strategically without getting too emotional.
• Passionate: Embrace the expression of intense emotions, passions, and desires without apology or restraint.
• Seductive: Use your allure and charm to influence others.
• Magnetic: Draw others towards you, by captivating their attention and commanding respect.
• Transformational: Allowing yourself to grow, and evolve, embracing change and embracing your own power.

If you are out of alignment, you may end up acting in strange ways, such as always being dependent on others, saying yes when you actually want to say no, giving into manipulation, and faking who you really are.
