"Beauty itself is not given to us by anyone; it is a power we have within us; a radiance inside us." What is feminine?

I am a feminist, but I did not know it. I believe in women having equal right and opportunities to those of men, and I hope some time in my lifetime women will hold an equal place in society.

I intend to peruse opportunities that are traditionally not feminine and I am proud of that. I have learned thought, to not fall into oppressing other women, that I need to not judge others be my standards, because we may all be women, that does not make us all the same.
