I notice it often in society at large and I’m noticing it in a current Fluther thread: a lot of women like to proclaim their distaste for stereotypically feminine things (think make-up, dresses) and I think this is often received really positively by men.

Do you see this happening? Do you think our society has attached a negative connotation to stereotypically feminine things? Do you think women earn respect from men when they reject those things? Do you see this as problematic in any way?

Please note that I’m not trying to imply that women who are not into stereotypically feminine things are in any way being disingenuous.
