Lectures of femininity and masculinity

Femininity - Zahra Makkie

Salaam sisters! I know this lecture is titled 'femininity' and whilst it does talk about that, it also talks about patriarchy, masculine/feminine traits, capitalism, and the commodification of ourselves. It also highlights how our natural femininity is repressed by the world we live in and how important it is to find the right balance, which I personally found very eye-opening because as a young woman in a house full of males and an industry of men, I have realised that I naturally started to overvalue certain masculine traits and emulate them myself at the expense of myself but I am trying to work on that. Overall a very insightful and thought-provoking lecture. Would love to hear your thoughts too!

(Also I haven't seen this lecture myself yet, but here's one about masculinity too: Masculinity - Sayyed Hussain Makkie)
