Where Are The Women?

My wife asked me a question yesterday that had us both stumped.

"Who is the most feminine woman you know?"

I could not answer the question. All the women I know are very masculine. Not in their appearance but in their actions. The women I know are very goal and career driven. This is not a bad thing if that's what they want however it's a masculine trait.

Feminine energy is more free-flowing. It's supportive and nurturing at its core. That's why you see more women as nurses, for example.

Could this be something else our society is confused on? We push women into the workforce and pressure them into getting careers. "If a man can do it, so can you."

Yes, this is true, but what if she does not want to. What if it goes against her true nature?

I support my wife in whatever she wants to do. If she wants to work, great! If she wants to stay home and take care of our son, great! All I ask is that she stays true to herself.

We need more women in our society. Real women. Women who know who they are and are not afraid to be themselves.

Behind every great man is an even greater woman.

(Said differently, since it's not always a male and female in a relationship... Behind every great masculine energy is an even greater feminine energy.)

P.S. I highly recommend Beyond Mars & Venus by John Gray.
