I agree. Being a woman who acts like a woman is 10X better than being a woman who tries to act like a man. It's more fun, and it takes less energy.... since you're just being you.

What does it mean to be a 'woman' that 'acts like a woman'. Here is my problem with some of the debates on this thread. Many people are making all these preconceived notions that there is set standard of what it means to be a woman. Th reality of the situation woman are beings like men. And we have different personalities and characteristics. Some women are more adventurous, others are more earthy, others are more sporty or flirty or etc. Women have DIFFERENT Personalities. And when some women choose to EXPRESS those personalities people, both men or women, say 'we act like a man'. That is BS and such an oversimplification. Although we are all an individuals connected to each other, each person has an inner calling/spirit even women. Using the word feminine in such a restrictive understanding fails to take into account women who march to a different beat. Women like this fight against the restrictive of femininity because it many women feel shame or marginalized for being themselves because does not fit into the mode. Many women walk around not embracing their complete inner being because they may be viewed as being manish and not feminine enough. Femininity is more than actions or body parts. And femininity should not be a ball and chain to woman searching for their path in this life. Our paths are more than just being a pleasing eye candy or a good time in men's life.
