Feminine Women and Power?

When it comes to femininity and power, it is often difficult for women to strike a balance between the two. For many what is masculine is simply more acceptable in comparison to what is feminine. Even for women, it is more acceptable to listen to a somewhat masculine women in charge than a more feminine one. Women have to be bold and assertive in order to get anywhere in life, so being quiet and submissive is not going to work. Dainty and feminine women are not at all likely to be taken seriously by the majority of the population due to our viewing what is masculine as stronger, better behavior, I'm afriad to say. This may not always be the case but it usually is.
