Not exactly true. I did when I was in high school. Holding the bag with one hand and letting the other swing. Not sure what that has to do with femininity though. I thought it was girlish to swing both your arms but I guess I had it backwards?

Other times, I would hold one arm to the side still, and let the other swing but never both until I was in the military then I had to let both of them swing.
