I have heard it said that some women don't shave their legs because they are feminists. This is not so in Asia. All modern women are feminists for we want equal opportunity in all areas of life but this doesn't mean that we discard our femaleness. Not shaving legs has nothing to do with feminism, for it reflects laziness and a disregard for personal grooming.

Socks are almost as bad as bare feet because socks are manly. What sort of woman wears the same clothes as men? There is a word for such women and I dare not say it here.

I see people using Facebook to pin their travels on a map. This is bragging disguised as being interesting. Taijiquan requires more of you than this.

Taijiquan teaches maleness and femaleness - with each gender finding balance according to it's own nature.

I found this image on another blog. It inspires me because it captures the essence of femaleness. The model's outfit is so simple and endearing. The image is romantic, soft and sensual but not sexual. There is an impression of vulnerability, confidence and strength. I like to dress like this when home because it offers tremendous freedom and femininity.

Example of mutual ego stroking:
"Where did you go on holiday?" 
      "Bali."
"Oh, I went there with my boyfriend last year. We have been 3 times already. This year we are going to Sydney..."

Femaleness is all about being true to my gender and not acting or looking like a man.

Talk straight. Don't make as if people have to fish information from you. This is phoney and fake. If you have something to say, say it.

Drag queens make more effort to look feminine than many women.

Bragging in any form is not Taijiquan.

Taijiquan encourages people to be honest and when talking, be sincere.

I see Western ladies do Taijiquan with bare feet or socks. Ugh! How ugly. Like a man.
