The Fourth Essential Quality............

As we work our way through these qualities essential to the complete woman I find that I encounter each one less and less as I wander through the days of my life. While it's true enough that even the first of these essential qualities is far from common, this fourth quality is rare enough that a man might, even were he to search dilligently for it, never see a pure example of it in a woman.
I must take a long step back from the above generalization as I realize now that the distribution of these qualities that are essential to the complete woman are entirely dependent upon the culture in which one, as a man in search of the complete woman, finds one's self.

This fourth quality is currently rare but it was, if my reading of history is a reliable guide, must more prevelant in the past by far than it is today. This quality gentle reader, is femininity.

Now femininity can be observed from outward signs, beautiful long hair, dresses rather than pants, a gentle manner, a quiet strength, an unmoveable sense of self as a woman. Not some version promulgated by some organization or publication of what a woman is supposed to be. No, not at all. She knows who she is and she is the only person in this world who decides who she will be, what she will do and how she will do it. She is no slave to the comings and goings of fad and prefers the fashion that reinforces the unique image that she, unafraid, shows the world.

The feminine woman is unafraid to be a woman, and in no way wishes to ever be confused with a man in manner, dress, or ambition. Because she is sure of herself as a woman, she can allow a man to be a man.
