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? IP: Logged |

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 IP: Logged |

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! IP: Logged |

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.IP: Logged |

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.------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it. It is Free, of course. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

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