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.

Your thoughts on this topic?

Why not share others would expect she is as concerned for herself as she is for them.
