How feminine do I feel?
Getting there.
I'm genuinely curious (genuinegirly, hehe) where/how you developed this definition of femininity... since my definition is quite different, and many of the things that you name, I expect no less of from the "masculine" side as well. But I was raised a tomboy--with a pretty bad example of "femininity" as what *not* to do--so that flavors my definition quite strongly.
