1. Femininity is just fine! 2. Femininity is Not Fine but no one is talking about it because (?politics?) 3. Femininity is less of an Earned state than masculinity and so not so worthy of discussion (?badly phrased) 4. People are talking about crises of Femininity elsewhere

Femininity is a patriarchal construction that defines women as lesser men and is bad

That women finding full agreement about what femininity is is impossible so clearly cannot be the way we come up with a useful definition

hmmm surely one could interview many women and find common threads in their definitions or find commonly agreed-upon exemplars of Femininity and identify what features see them apart femininity may be culturally-defined and somewhat heterogeneous and that's prolly ok?

I'm curious as to why you think the definition is solely up to women? As women obviously I will have greater insights into how all this gender bullshit works since it largely exists to police mine and other women's existence but am I the ultimate authority? Why?

To me this feeds into the idea that "being woman" is just some ephemeral indescribable magical state of being lol. It's not that deep. What is masculinity?

Huh
I think possibly you have more negative associations with the idea than I do?
people who find gender aesthetic vs those who find it antiaesthetic

Well! You can imagine a man who had a negative view of femininity because (eg) he was teased as a boy for being feminine, and ends up being outspokenly anti-femininity out of defensiveness
