Therefore, femininity and aggressiveness are not mutually exclusive. While society sees masculinity and femininity as opposites, the truth is, a person's sexual identity can be found somewhere on the continuum between the two extremes. Other psychologists concur with Freud. These are qualities with which Mother Nature has endowed the female as well as the male, and for good reason, since in nature it is the female who must aggressively protect her young. I don't, however, see that assertiveness as masculine or unfeminine.
People generally define 'masculine' and 'feminine' too narrowly.
If anything, I think I've become more feminine. Some of the women who have studied the martial arts for years were aggressive even before they began. Tae kwon do changed the direction of that aggressiveness. Defense was never a problem, but learning to think offensively needed training. Karate has helped me to be more efficient in such a situation.
