How to be Feminine in a Feminist World

Feminine or Feminist? Mrs Midwest and Jasmyne Theodora have both made videos on how to be feminine in a Feminist world. I have watched both of their videos and some of the content on both of their channels. While I enjoyed both of their videos, they and many other anti-Feminist female YouTubers hold rather socially conservative views around womanhood which I struggle to relate to, particularly around sex and abortion. Part of the reason why I started this channel was to provide a space for liberal/socially progressive women who can't relate to social conservatism (mainly rooted in Judeo-Christianity) but are also critical of Feminism.

Femininity...what is it? What does it mean to be feminine? Quite a loaded question that probably needs more than an eleven minute video. But here's my little take on being feminine in a Feminist world, coming from a liberal, secular, sex-positive perspective that focuses on empowering women, without swinging towards Feminism or social conservatism.
