Feminine attributes
Traits that are considered feminine can be categorized into the
physical (such as breasts, wider hips in relation to body size, softer
facial features without facial hair, etc.) and the psychological,
manifested in such things as a concern for relationships (sympathy,
sensitivity, high language skills, receptivity) aesthetics (decoration
and ornamentation of home and person).
Distinctly feminine attributes are hard to pin down, as are the
masculine, because each attribute can be manifested in either gender.
The attempt to categorize traits into strict categories of masculine
and feminine has been the subject of philosophy, sociology, psychology
and science for centuries, and is unlikely to be resolved
satisfactorily as there are diverse views, clues, and subsequent
conclusions about the matter.
