Our Natural Feminine Gifts And The Transformation of Traditional Roles
July 13th, 2010In their recent response to The Atlantic cover story “The End Of Menâ€, by Hanna Rosin, Marie Wilson and Linda Basch state that what is happening today is not the demise of men “but rather, the beginning of a transformation of traditional roles that will benefit men, women, families, communities – everyone.â€Â They point out that “women and men bring complementary and equally important approaches to risk-taking and decision-making and studies show a correlation between management diversity and economic returns.â€
It is in the complementary and equally important approaches where change and growth must be made. All too often in the past society has devalued our best qualities, those that are natural to women. Our feminine gifts are attributes such as: relationship building, peacemaking, language, creative thinking, and more. Â

By exploring these gifts and applying them to your day-to-day life, you will see positive changes in your own life and the world around you.  You will be able to adapt to the innovations and changes that are necessary for the future. As women are equally valued for their contributions, we will be able to overcome the limitations and inequalities imposed on us by a masculine dominated economic, political and cultural society.
As a start, let yourself have the freedom to imagine new possibilities in the areas of career, finances, fitness, well-being, friendship and love. Say “yes†to an opportunity that arises. And practice being utterly fascinated with your own answers to these questions:
- What innate talents do I possess?
- What are my greatest gifts?
- What do I enjoy doing so much that I lose track of time while I’m doing it?
- What are the guiding principles of my life—what is my polestar?
