Idk they get offended for some reason... I think it's a good thing if a lady is feminine.. . it just comes naturally for some.. some women are more on the masculine side and thats not repulsive either.

And I don't mean gender roles, more yin and yang you know what I mean?

Depends on what you mean by complimenting femininity. List some examples of what you have said and what people have said in response.

You know, opening a gender thread is asking for it....lololol

Hopefully this thread doesn't get locked like your other ones

Omg! She looks so beautiful! I love her femininity and amazing sensuality. She's like a little delicate flower.

Agree - would like to hear what you said and to whom.

That makes all the difference

I don't think that's offensive at all.

I like to challenge gender roles, so I get where they are coming from. But unless you are sexually objectifying them, you aren't wrong for expressing yourself.

LOL, I saw that edit Karka!

Could be insecurity?

I'd guess they thought you were being sarcastic, which generally comes from being insecure. It's also possible they think you want something and are pouring it on thick rather than sincere.

One of my dearest clients is a black professor. She was in a workshop and just mentioned something about race and the whole place shut up and she felt horrible. I told her that certain subjects can make people feel like they don't know what to say. I think gender has become that, too, in our current society.

I see nothing wrong with women being feminine or men being masculine, so long as we recognize all the varying shades in between.
