There are so many things mothers want for their little girls, and even more they want to teach them. But as the mother of one myself, today I want to talk about what we can and must learn from our little bundles of joy, about natural femininity. There are some aspects of being a woman, being ‘girly’ that modern women try to hide, fight, or look down on, which is actually just plain ridiculous. If you observe your daughter and her friends, you will notice the innocence with which they celebrate and demonstrate who they are. And the guilt and conditioning with which their mothers deny or contradict the same instincts. There is a reason for the percentage of corporate women who choose flexi-time professions in their thirties, and more creative entrepreneurial ventures. There is a reason for the gazillion dollar global fashion industry. There is a reason behind the yearning for candlelit dinners and grand gestures from the men in our lives, and for the popularity of chick-lit and rom-coms.

So here is an ode to the innate little girl in all of us, a celebration of being feminine, today and every day:

Girls enjoy attention:

Actually I think everyone loves being the center of attention sometimes. As we grow up, we just learn to cover it up or deny it to protect ourselves. But whether it is pretty clothes and hair, performing well, sports or any other interest/talent; the fact is that girls simply adore getting attention. So do women. It’s time to stop looking down on it, if you do; stop being pseudo-cool about underplaying yourself, or even hiding it. Let your inner diva out now and then, and bask in the attention and importance. You’re worth it!

Girls are nurturers:

We simply are. We notice emotions more, we have soft hearts, and we enjoy taking care of others. We did in the monolithic age, and we do now. Whether it’s our dolls and toys as girls, or our family and home as adults; to be a caregiver and nurturer is a feminine gift. Even in the workspace, a woman will often have higher emotional intelligence than her male counterparts. Nurturing does not mean household chores. It simply means being kinder, observant and helpful. Not for a minute am I taking away from the argument of equality or even a woman’s ability to learn and enjoy other roles. I am simply encouraging all girls to embrace this natural instinct when they feel it. It is this same instinct that makes our little girls cuddly, giggly, more forgiving and more loving.

Girls enjoy being taken care of:

No, I don’t mean that we cannot be independent or alone or successful. I think we have proved that we can do everything independently and superlatively beyond a smidgen of doubt. I simply believe that the joy a woman gets from good old fashioned chivalry should be admitted and enjoyed openly. We like doors being opened for us, receiving gifts and flowers, chairs being pulled out, help with a heavy bag and otherwise being indulged. Just as our little girls have that special response to their dads, the shoulder rides and the leaps into those big arms. The way they simply demand pampering as their birthright. Because they absolutely adore receiving symbols of love. And so do we. We should stop denying it and beating around the bush about it. Again, I am certain there are a few of my sisterhood who genuinely don’t appreciate these things, and that is fine. But if you do, then be candid and relaxed about it.

So this women’s day, take a leaf out of your daughters’ books and be naturally girly. Girly is fabulous. Sparkle, shine, give, forgive and open yourself to receiving. Happy women’s day, from my heart to yours!
