What do you think of when you think of femininity?

I feel like the term has gotten a bad reputation but I wonder what others think of when they think of that term? I'm of the opinion that women should think of it as a gift while also recognizing that it makes you strong, not weak.

This is my perspective. Everyone's perspective is different. So each has their own definitions.

Feminine:
More caring and perhaps a bit emotional.

Being emotional isn't weak. Actually takes a lot of guts to be emotional. Only being emotional all the time should be considered weak.

Must state the non obvious. Both men and women don't want to recognize smell as feminine. Yet there is a natural feminine smell that is attractive. I'm not referring to perfumes either.

Society as a whole likely assigns other factors.
