Hello all.
I've been thinking about how to write about my feminine/masculine traits without resorting to caricatures or stereotypes. One example that comes to mine is the interactions I have with my mom. When it comes to selecting gifts and sending her birthday, Christmas, etc. holiday cards for her, I frequently use a feminine sense of creativity. When I listen to her express her doubts and concerns about not doing enough for others, I utilize a masculine notion of independence. Oftentimes I tell her she should be taking care of herself first before worrying about helping others.
