To clarify : “strength of character”

    Check out the film Gravity. I would call Sandra Bullock’s character strong, but she’s not “manly” at all.

        Regular strengths, but in a feminine person

        I don’t think there are inherently masculine or feminine strengths

        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. Networking may be the only one I wouldn’t agree women are inherently better at, I think that one is pretty 50/50, but you nailed the rest.

            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.
