Hi Gendermutt,
You know we cannot find any real male or female activities outside of birthing/breastfeeding/impregnating that transcend any/all cultures. So it's down to what our wider society calls feminine and masculine.
Within this context, I feel a deep upwelling of emotion/tears that I believe is the result of 54 years of having suppressing my natural feminine side. Feeling feminine goes to the roots of civilisation for me. In the wild, hunter-gatherer, there's nothing really different, not beads nor body-paint. Being feminine is ALL about the dress, the pink, the forbidden-to-males. If we're not allowed it, then its what I want.
Now, to the FEELING, in the clothes, in the dressing, feeling feminine is a feeling labelled "feminine", that's it, there are no other words that fit, no way I can describe it, it just is.
