Our feminine duty to be taken care of Femininity is about the desire for males to take care
of the fragile female body, nurture it to the point of
ownership. To be feminine is not mannerisms, but the
way males view these mannerisms, dictated by how
horny they feel. Pleasing the male gaze is the tool that
can influence the power. Call him darling, call him
baby-boy, hold him in your arms, protect him from the
scary women.

Nicotine is an addiction for all humans without
gender, however it is shunned to take your pretty
mouth around the cigarette. Masked with the sweet
scent of vanilla, attempting to mask the masculine
energy of smoke. Being feminine does not merely
pertains to one’s behavior, it is also including one’s
looks. A female body builder would not be considered
