What actually makes you feel like a woman?
from Not Us Podcast · host Angela Samantha Kaaber Kilian
Angela has always been the girly girl. Long blonde hair, lashes, dresses, romantic leads. Samantha has muscles, lives happily in cargo pants and will correct you fairly quickly if you confuse assertive with butch.Both women consider themselves feminine.So why is it so easy for someone looking at them to decide that one is somehow more feminine than the other?And then the conversation gets more personal.Angela always wanted to become a mother. She doesn't feel less feminine because she didn't, but she admits she sometimes wonders whether she missed part of the "complete woman experience" she expected to have. Samantha never wanted motherhood in the same way and doesn't connect it to feeling like a woman at all.So what actually makes us feel like women?Our bodies? Clothes? Hair? Motherhood? Being nurturing? How we behave in relationships? Or have we inherited a strange collection of conditions for femininity and womanhood that we're still trying to make sense of?Also, apparently calling Angela agreeable is a surprisingly efficient way to ruin her afternoon.
