Femininity is the bundle of looks, manners, and feelings that a group of people treats as “typical of women” — often gentle, delicate, pretty, careful. Though actually, the bundle is not a law of nature: what counted as feminine in your grandmother’s town (long hair, a quiet voice, never arguing) may look old-fashioned to her granddaughter.

Femininity isfemininity 是 the bundle of looks, manners, and feelings一群外表、舉止和感覺的組合，that a group of people treats as "typical of women"某個群體的人把它當成「女性典型該有的樣子」——often gentle, delicate, pretty, careful通常是溫柔、細緻、漂亮、小心翼翼。Though actually不過其實，the bundle is not a law of nature這個組合不是什麼自然定律：what counted as feminine in your grandmother's town你祖母那個時代算是有女人味的東西 (long hair, a quiet voice, never arguing)（長髮、輕聲細語、從不爭辯），may look old-fashioned to her granddaughter在她孫女眼裡可能看起來很老派。

People also stretch the word. A dress, a colour, even a way of sitting can be called feminine. A man can be said to “have femininity” if he is soft or graceful; that can be kind, or it can be a jab, depending who says it and how.

People also stretch the word大家也把這個字用得更廣。A dress, a colour, even a way of sitting一件洋裝、一種顏色，甚至一種坐姿，can be called feminine都可能被說成 feminine。A man can be said to "have femininity"一個男人也可能被說「有 femininity」，if he is soft or graceful如果他溫和或優雅；that can be kind, or it can be a jab這可以是善意的，也可能是諷刺，depending who says it and how要看是誰、怎麼說。

Femininity is not the same as being female (a body fact) and not the same as feminism (a belief about rights). Textbooks and careful talk use femininity; everyday English often reaches for “girly” or “womanly”, which feel looser and sometimes ruder.
