I dont know how I feel about this. I always felt that my personality was being helpful and friendly.

One thing I like about being a women, when I get pregnant I will be the first to hold my baby (as in inside me).

I must say that if a women is yelling at her husband, that doesn't mean she hasn't tried asking nicely. Obviously Jacob is really nice and a great husband.

This is so absolutely beautiful. I feel as if in today's age, people will shout, "SEXISM!" at anything and everything. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but it's used far more often than it should be. Along with that, I feel as if the new age feminist agenda is "sexist" in itself. I've iterated this multiple times to my feminist friends that feminists saying "We can do anything a man can do but better" is literally telling society that women are not "useful" unless they can do what men are typically seen doing. A woman should show her contribution to society by being a woman, not by trying to be a man/have masculine energy. I always look at it as saying "I am a woman and here is how I add value to masculinity and society by being feminine," not "I am a woman and I'm valuable because I can do what a man can." Also, in regards to gentle guidance, Abby, I cannot tell you enough how much this saved me. I used to take on the hard-head role when I needed something done, and that never worked for me. When I started asking gently for favors from my husband, I found he would jump to my request IMMEDIATELY if not sooner. Men want to provide, and by gently guiding and letting him make the decision to help, he loves it so much more.

Beautifully written, Abby! I am eagerly looking forward to the other blogs in the “Embracing Feminity” series. I hope that one day you will write a book on this subject. What a wonderful gift that would make, for women of any age. God bless you and your loved ones🌹

Gosh! I was so guilty of the " damsel in distress" narrative for so long. I thought the best way to get attention from men was to act like I needed to be "saved" from XZY situation. I was SO wrong!

Delayed in talking about this, but this part “ It is within our womanly role to be the queen, the woman that people look up to and turn to in times of need.”

Finding this SO amusing because over the last year, my husband and I have talked extensively about embracing King and Queen behavior. King being the strong, brave and confident leader, Queen being the gentle, calm guide and helper. Both have power, but in very different ways. Stronger together then apart.

Anyway, number 3 on your list just struck me and I wanted to share! Just funny how when you talk about things, they pop up randomly in your daily life.
