minus-squareBleatingZombie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·3 months agoRegular strengths, but in a feminine person I don’t think there are inherently masculine or feminine strengths
minus-squaremorphballganon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·3 months agoI 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
