From the second the doc says its a girl, conditioning into femininity begins. Some of us rebel againsts the female role as small children, others in adolescence or adulthood. Women who preform femininity get extra social privilige for doing so, a lot of this extra social privilige comes from other women. In the past men were more hostile to women who did n ot conform to femininity then women were. But today post feminism, it appears the tables have turned and its women who are dick tating the rules. One of the biggest things women judge each other on is femininity, many women think femininity is innate. But in reality its conditioned as whats considered appear changes over time. If both sexes were raised more similar who knows what most women would be like, women do not pop out the womb in heels and make up. If you do go your own way away from femininity then other women are the biggest critics. Often the things said are do you want to be a man etc. Many women appear to take offense to another woman who would want to be similar to a man, even if she is a lesbian. But never think twice about all the women who spend there lives trying to be everything a man wants and are only sexually available to men. Why would it be a bad thing to admire and aspire to be like men anyway, just bc we are gay does not mean we hate men and everything about them. In society people tend to blame butch women for man hating, but I have observed more of it coming from femme lesbians, its almost like it forms a basis for their hate of women they consider masculine. In a sense the descrimination masculine women recieve is just an exstention of the enforced femininity that all females are subjected to. We are in a sense gender outlaws, some of the anger towards us is an attempt to get us to conform. Masculine women also get accused of being ftm, and told they should transition. But in reality not all ftm are masculine, not all are even attracted to women. Level of masculinity in a woman is not an indicator of how trans she is. Feminism did not help masculine women either, instead it sold them out as male identified traitors to women, under the assumption that women who were anti feminist and traditional were not traitors. And that all men were oppressors. |
