Yes that being feminine is a description for a set of characteristics and a feminist is not related to gender based, more a political movement.

,

According to the Cambridge English dictionary the definition of feminine is

having characteristics that are traditionally thought to be typical of or suitable for a woman.

The definition of feminism is the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state:

Oh, good golly!

Very nice of said men to give them 'everything they want and more besides.'

I'm slightly confused how/why men got to be in the position to give such a bounty, but I don't want to give you a headache by going down that particular rabbit hole!

I'm a feminist because I believe in the dismantling of the patriarchy for the benefit of all. (I'm an intersectional feminist, but let's not go there)

Femininity can be pretty, delicate, compassionate. It can also be strong, resilient and resourceful.

Feminism is wanting equality for all regardless of gender.

It’s not about being bitter towards men, it’s just about calling out when things aren’t fair.

They’re not exclusive to each other.

So you follow social trends. To dress do you. Makeup and be a caregiver? Not because you want to do that?

I didn't realise that being a caregiver was a social requirement. Though it came naturally to people? Some people?

There is an argument that the very notions of "femininity" and "masculinity" are social constructs. I find that quite interesting myself. I mean personally I cant stand hyper masculine blokes and "girly girls" get right on my nerves to be honest. Saying that you can be "feminine" and be a feminist at the same time. I know loads of women who are. You can also be "feminine" and be a man. You can also be "masculine" and be a woman so...

No. The idea doesn't derive directly from the etymology. It's worth a Google.

Those who are in power and have privilege don't do so for good reasons, necessarily, and these need to be challenged in order to give everyone a chance to be their best selves. It's not just "down with men", it's an expansion to critiquing privilege of all kinds.

Ultimately everyone should have the chance to be who they want to be, without being limited by their innate characteristics.

That requires some challenge to authority, but isn't anti authoritarian per se.

Im not so sure about that tbh. The bourgoise hegemony will only allow its priviledge to be challenge within its own framework and on its own terms in liberal society. Any actions that are a direct challenge to its authority are either put down by sanctioned violence or by economic restrictions. To truely challenge priviledge has to involve a strong element of anti authoritarianism if its to have any validity... At least that's what some bloke in the pub said

It's certainly possible that my views are limited by my lack of anti authoritarianism. I'm certainly open to critique, although my tendency is towards education and building, rather than destruction. Work with what we've got to the extent we can.

No. My limitations are partly structural disadvantage.

My unwillingness (some subconscious) to be more anti authoritarian, I think, is because of the societal privilege I enjoy and am in part unwilling to give up. I know I'm imperfect in this regard. (But also, disadvantage or not, I'm only human and I can only do so much. I still need to live my life etc)

"Feminine - a ‘girly girl’

Feminist - someone who believes in equal rights for everyone.

For everyone? It's the last thing it is.

An assertion that they're being oppressed by men in a society where men are giving them everything they want and more besides.

Zzzzzzz"

Indeed. Feminist: zzzzzzzz. Same old, same old.

Then how are they allowed to define themselves as such?
