I much prefer eastern philosophy’s view of the masculine and feminine. They are spectrums and they fold into each other. I have no problem with a trait being described as either, or with identifying with a gender. What I generally have trouble with is when women don’t own their traits, or their demands are often both masculine and feminine. For example: I want direction and to move forward, but I want you to lead. And, of course, a lot of women struggle to truly turn things over or let go of a standard or let go of control.
