Femininity
Femininity (also called
feminity,
girlishness,
womanliness or
womanhood) is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with girls and women. Femininity is socially constructed, but made up of both socially-defined and biologically-created factors. This makes it
distinct from the definition of the
biological female sex, as both males and females can exhibit feminine traits. People who exhibit a combination of both
masculine and feminine characteristics are considered
androgynous, and feminist philosophers have argued that gender ambiguity may blur gender classification.
