God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I’ve ever met.

Feminists hate the very notion of femininity. They consider women taking advantage of their femininity as an expression of weakness; one of many dismal conclusions arising logically and inevitably from dualism. But femininity is arguably more an expression of strength rather than of weakness. Women can reliably expect from men a high return on their femininity. What would feminists recommend instead? That women compete 24/7/365 with men in the home, the workplace, in politics and elsewhere? That’s already adding much to the sum of human happiness, isn’t it?

If men enjoyed the returns from masculinity which women routinely enjoy from femininity, they’d have no reservation in exploiting it. However the option isn’t open to them, so they might reasonably be expected to complain about women exploiting femininity. But do they? No, of course they don’t.
