Comment on In movies a strong woman is manly. (big muscles, aggressive, punches people, etc.) Is that really the way it is?

I don’t think strengths have inherent gender.

Maybe the most muscular people are men, but that doesn’t make muscular women manly.

Strengths that women typically have more of than men might include compassion, encouragement, empathy, aesthetics, optimism, flexibility, networking, organization

As a guy I took a knee-jerk moment of subconscious offense, but then I realized that while I’m naturally good at a couple of those things, the rest I’ve been striving for a long time to get better at and I’m still very mediocre.

  My wife and my ex-gf may have skewed my perception on women being good at networking; they’re both great at gaining contacts. This flows into being good at organizing events.
