Masculine and Feminine. When hearing those two words you might immediately think of men and women. I wouldn’t blame you, many of us are told that men must be masculine and women must be feminine. Traditionally feminine traits are considered bad or unwanted, I believe that is why women have taken more masculine traits. In the workplace, I found it better to be dominant, assertive, and strong than it is to be caring, humble and emotional. Now, why is this? Why have we taken these traits and immediately started labelling them? All of the feminine traits are associated with women, whereas the masculine traits are associated with men. If a woman is seen being dominant or assertive she is bossy, but if a man is dominant or assertive he’s a boss and is taking control. We can say the same thing about a man who is seen crying or being caring, he can be considered weak, but if a woman is emotional or caring it is considered good or the way she is supposed to act. It is high time that society should realise that masculinity and femininity are not traits we associate with depending on gender, but instead depending on the character. To be balanced and better people, I believe we need to have both masculine traits and feminine traits and there is no men vs women world. join Modern Nari to understand the need and greed in this billion dollar industry only on Audio Pitara, Kyunki sunna zaruri hai!!!
