My therapist tells me to have more 'feminine energy.' Feminist Advice Friday paid subscriber bonus
She escaped an abusive relationship and became self-sufficient. Her therapist wants her to "be more feminine."
A reader asks…
I have been a fan and am recently a subscriber. I am a single mother to 3 kids; I moved out almost 2 years ago after 14 years of increasing inequality and abuse. I have been doing it all now, managing my house, the children, my career as a nurse, home renovations, and my daughter’s complex medical condition. My counselor recently asked me if I have thought about “moving into my feminine energy?” She implied that I have been in a masculine role for so long that I need to work on my feminine side. I don’t know what this is or if it is even necessary. Any thoughts?
