How do you see your identity as a woman?

As a Can Do type but feminine and nurturing at the same time.

Did your form that identity through agreeing or through resistance? Neither. I grew up as a combo tomboy and girly girl. My mom had grown up on a farm. So I grew up knowing that women can do men's work and yet still be feminine. And over here in the States I grew into part of the Title IX movement when they began in this country a movement that opened the opportunities to women that were once only for men. Sports, etc.

Was your acceptance of/ or resistance to gender type-casting a choice, or a reaction to what was on offer to you at the time?

I guess I lucked out because men tend to be more about respect earned not given so...I naturally earned? Plus my dad is a byproduct of that hippie era. So, I had that going for me too.

How do you be YOU in your relations with me ? Or is this only my personal issue as a result of childhood wounding? I don't think it's only you.
