Haunted by questions like:

What is good about being a woman?
Is femininity more than being soft and empathetic?
Why, if at all, do I need to retain my femininity? Does it have value?

And unsatisfied with narratives that say "men and women are the same" and "men and women are polar opposites" alike, I set out on a mission to figure out what it means to be a woman and what masculinity and femininity are. I struggled to find answers that weren't one of those two narratives, but eventually I began to find answers to my questions amongst biology, Christian theology, philosophy and anthropology that were beautiful, rich, and inspiring.

So I am using this channel to share what I have found and to further the conversation around masculinity and femininity by taking it out of the realm of traits and behaviours. Now these are not my ideas, I have not create a vision of the human person I am only communicating what I have found.
