She is a woman who loves things done according to her liking. She hardly cares if the things or better said actions done are good or bad, her end goal is to feel good at heart and be assured she is the ‘woman’
Yesterday, she did her make up a little different and intense as there was going to be a board meeting at her workplace. As the president of the company, she expected to look so good and so she strived to achieve that. Getting at work, everyone seemed so busy with their schedules and not even no one noticed her shouting make up. She felt devastated.
At the board meeting, she addressed her colleagues with all competence but no one interrupted her or rather asked questions. She wanted to be clearly heard and well noticed , being a woman she was but still no one paid any special attention. This killed her a little from the inside.
Having had a ‘bad’ day according to her set expectations, she went back home took a feel good shower and dressed in a very sexy outfit so as to entice her husband when he came back from work. Evening finally came but the husband didn’t notice her different aura nor the short provocative clothing she had. He went straight to his home computer to continue with his work. What a snob! She thought to her self.
Why wasn’t everyone noticing the woman she was? Why were people not behaving the way she wanted? Wasn’t she supervisor? Was her femininity becoming less prominent? She was getting bitter and bitter.
These toxic traits within people never quit trying. So she went to the kitchen and prepared her husband’s best meal. The aroma could be smelt from a far. Unexpectedly, the husband just took the meal , said he was full, said thanks and went back to doing his work. “How could he? He is probably trying my patience.”
The lady was becoming furious past the limit. She immediately started a verbal fight with the husband, accusing him of disrespect and all sorts of vices that came into her head. He was not the type of a man to argue with a woman, so he kissed his wife goodnight and left for bed. With no word, with no angry face.
Jemi still wondered how her husband was so calm even after she tried starting an argument. She felt useless. Everything she was trying was not working. Little did she know that her femininity was toxic and not everyone could stand that.
Being so irritated and having no one to throw her frustrations to, she went to the gym to cool off. Unluckily, she lifted some dumbbells that were past her strength and they fell on her, breaking her right hand. Right now she is confined in a hospital for a month or so. Can she blame anyone for this?
Toxic femininity is something that is clouding the whole world today. Being a woman does not guarantee some ‘special’ favors or rather designated respect , attention or approval. Let’s all learn to be feminine or even masculine without exhibiting these toxic traits.
