This channel has legitimately improved my life -- and videos like this are part of why. The truth that women are by nature feminine has been badly distorted by social constructionist gender theory. Judith Butler's idea that there is no innate difference between men and women and that gender is entirely performative has permeated our culture and thrown men and women alike into identity crises. I am grateful that through God's word and channels like yours I am able to gain more clarity about who I am as a woman. Keep up the good work.
@@JasmyneTheodorahey! Sorry for replying directly but I just turned 17 and want to know your take on an observation I've had! So I feel like women who say "I hate men" or "I don't need men" tend to try to act like men. They wear men's clothes, cut their hair short and sort of try to come off as masculine even if they still consider themselves female. I feel like liberal women a lot of the time lie when they say "I don't need men" when they accept trans women around them. I feel like deep down they don't actually see them as women, but go as far as to go along with it because they really do want men around them. I feel like a lot of them were hurt by toxically masculine men or done wrong by men that it got to a point where they were willing to accept any kind of man around them who they feel safe with, and what more safety can a women get around other women? Even if they are just coming off as women. The media has always really pushed feminity being some kind of trait only mean girls in movies take on or that their femininity is their entire personality. Like how the media has tended to associate pink to a mean blonde or something of that sort. But now that men are starting to speak up about wanting high quality feminine women, I feel like women have been so brainwashed into pushing their femininity down that they'll call the men who say this misogynistic and avoid the fact that women are at their best when they are feminine. I think women are just hurt and tired of the back and forth. I think a lot of them really do want men but have been forced to do "masculine" things that sort of makes them clash with their man in their relationships and ultimately fail because there's no stable balance. There's just a women trying to be masculine and lead and a man who's forced to submit because of that and end up living in their woman's house who pays all the bills and takes care of the kids. This is my take on it at least. And even though Andrew Tate can be pretty sh*tty sometimes I feel like he's not wrong about a lot of the things he says either. I feel like a lot of women hate him too because they are usually misguided, brainwashed, and unaccepting of the truth. Anyways you're a brilliant woman and I love your vids! I loved this video in particular too can't wait for more and sorry this was long 😅
Thanks for this. I'm tired of hearing I should balance by "masculine" and feminine side. I don't want to be masculine at all. It's an unnatural state for women. We might have to be masculine if we are unsafe, unprotected or not provided for, but it's not a place we actually really want to be. It even has detrimental effects on our bodies.
I do agree with you. - I also believe we all carry both these energies within no matter what body parts we have & it’s ok if others wants to be more balanced. There are beings who are naturally more balanced than others they have mastered their left and right brains.
"We might have to be masculine if we are unsafe" But are we "being masculine", or is that our human survival instinct kicking in? I believe there is social pressure to deny the part of our womanhood that protects, gets angry, or that can have high executive functioning because it may contradict societal norms of femininity. Framing part of our humanity as "masculine" and "other" keeps us from stepping into the fullness of who we are and are called to be. If it's human to want to protect yourself, and you are a woman, then it is part of your feminity. If we're female, we're feminine.
It’s not always bad to be masculine. It completely depends on the circumstances, but I do understand what you’re saying. I’m relieved to have a man to protect and provide for me. Who can call me down when I’m emotional. At the same time, I do want to have to ability to be assertive and logical when the circumstances call for it. For example I have family members who are atheists and think Christianity is nonsense. In order to engage with them, I need to be logical and rational, and not play into emotions because they see Christian’s as hyper emotional kooks lol. So yes, being feminine is wonderful. But there is value in cultivating masculine traits in certain circumstances. Unless you want/need to let your husband take over those situations then all power to you. I like to engage in rational apologetic debates, so it’s important for me to be in touch with my “masculine” side.
I didn't have guidance from any female in my family as to how to be feminine or how I should behave. Because I didn't have this guidance, I have the tendency to shout, be aggressive, and curse. I have been working on myself to decrease these behaviors because I want to be a better person. These videos that you make Jasmyne have been helpful. Thank you.
I don’t know if this helps, but keep in mind that your anger doesn’t make you masculine. It just makes you… angry 😅❤ a woman’s anger is still expressed in a woman’s way, it doesn’t make you “manly”… however, it’s still good to control your anger & learn how to forgive & be more gentle. But, men should do that too, because anger is not the same as strength or masculinity. Anger is just a sin that anyone can and does fall into. I hope that helps! ❤
Hi girl, let me tell u smthg, I know I probably can’t understand what it feels like for you to not have someone to guide you. But know that God is here for you and He cares about you, He is the God who is able to change our hearts and behaviors , ask him help and He will help and guide you , I love you sis but God loves u more❤️
I am a Muslim woman, and besides the differences and similarities between the two religions, I am so grateful that finally someone could speak about that transgender issue in a realistic way, thank you! It is not about just our organs, not that easy. Why does not society encourage people to embrace their genders, and search for why they do not feel like man or a woman but in opposite gender, rather they basically ''if you do not feel that way, why don't you just change it''? Other than that, I feel closer to this point of view about gender roles than everything is equal for everyone. I also think that if two genders were equally responsible, there would be no space to help our spouses for God's sake (Allah in my case). It is good to have a space to ''help'' not always doing it because we are responsible for that. Again, thank you for your content!
Subhana’Allaah , I agree with these sentiments. When we forget the criteria that the Creator set we get chaos! Through submission to the creator we find freedom and ease. Life doesn’t have to be this complicated. Ya Rabb help us 🤲🏽
@@TeeAhhhna According to Islam, Jesus is a prophet of us. Mohammed and Jesus both are the messenger of Allah, so of course even though we don’t have the same religious, there are some similarities.
Omg yodeline you're here too, that's so cool😭 and I'm happy that she does things from a Christian perspective too, this is a small pet peeve of mine but I don't necessarily like when youtubers who claim they're Christian don't talk about things from a Christian perspective, like where are you getting your basis from that any of what you're saying is true or justified?
I really appreciate this channel as a Muslim woman. The content and your ability articulate in an intelligent and clear way is soooo refreshing. I’m so tired of the emotional mind numbing rhetoric of everyone “so called” progressive today. Ya Allaah help us identify truth as truth and abide by it and help us to identify falsehood as falsehood and reject and abstain from it, Ameen.
Wrong. We harness both feminine and masculine energy within us. That is the law of the yin and yang. A boy is born a male but feminine energy lives within him through his connection with his mother. Later, he passes it on to his girlfriend or wife. But if a man is with another man, he passes femininity onto his male lover. However, a woman has her father's masculinity living inside her. Then she will pass it on to her husband. But sometimes both genders can withhold their energy. Thus, the energy never flows and moves.
One wouldn’t strive to balance being healthy and unhealthy, beautiful and ugly, good or evil because we know that balance is about being equal parts between two things. While masculinity or femininity aren’t inherently better than the other balancing the two would imply that they are equal within a person, and being equally feminine and masculine is not what men and women were made to do.
This is spot on. I don't want to be as unhealthy as I am healthy. I might compromise my health by falling off the streak with some bad choices, but it's never something that I'm proud of. I struggle and that keeps me going. It's very opposed to a world of equals. Oh, you know what else? There's people who say evil needs to exist for good to exist. It's a misunderstanding. Our priest talked about physical health in parallel to spiritual healing today. We read about the healing of the Paralytic. He was afflicted for 38 years before he could walk. Anyway, "we try to maximize pleasure and minimize pain" and demand things on our timing instead of waiting for God's grace.
Most healthy people understand their weaknesses and strengths. That's what balance brings. You can't be just good or just bad. Most of us inherit good and bad qualities as a whole.
Except people naturally fluctuate between those very same things throughout their life whether they strive to or not. Almost like it's natural or something.....
I used to think I had to balance both in my own internal yin and Yang, but over the past year I have really devoted myself to my feminine energy and I can see now that I am our Yin and my husband is our Yang. Thank you ❤
Exactly. The small part of Yang in you allows you to recognize and appreciate his greater Yang nature and vice versa. Then, your two complementary natures work together in harmony. This concept is largely misunderstood by those who haven't studied Daoism, and it's always a blessing to see someone who has figured it out😊
i really feel that you're going to blow up soon, like your videos and ideas are just too well-thought-out and articulated to have such a small audience. religion is such a beautiful thing, im not even christian but i find that i can affirm so many ideas in my own belief system. moreover, this transgender craze is everywhere, and im so glad to see you speak out against the tenets of its ideology in such a smart way, its literally so scary :(.
My issue with this is that women OBVIOUSLY don’t have the natural tendencies to behave in a feminine way to the same degree. Watch little children. There are always girls who act more like boys and other girls who don’t and the same way with boys too. I get your point that this is still feminine behavior because women are born female and I was actually happy to hear it at first but then you basically said that it is simply every woman’s true nature to be submissive, gentle and quiet and that every woman who isn’t that way needs guidance to be more like that. That would imply that girls who are born with the natural tendencies to act feminine all the time are inherently better than girls who aren’t. Maybe you will learn this as you have more children. I think I understand what you’re saying but you’re completely ignoring personality differences which is what makes it seem “extreme” to me. I would understand if you said every woman should have certain behaviors to a degree. Acting in a compassionate way for example or even letting the husband take the lead but your message as I understood it was basically that all women naturally are quiet and submissive and that any woman who acts differently is still feminine but not in the best way possible. I don’t get why you’re so focused on this extreme binary idea. I personally think that women should be in touch with the feminine tendencies they have and don’t reject them but they shouldn’t be forced to act as something they aren’t. Just because you are naturally more submissive and quiet it doesn’t mean that that is every woman’s true nature.
I hear what you’re saying, in fact I had a similar reaction to yours while I was listening to her. But I don’t think she’s advocating for changing one’s entire personality just to become more feminine, nor do I believe she would say that if you don’t express more feminine traits than you’re less of a woman. Rather I think what she seems to really be advocating for is the balance between soft/gentle traits and hard/tough traits, while at the same time insisting that our nature/biology is either female or male, not both or fluid. To elaborate on what I mean, I’ll just share what I had commented: Perhaps better terminology to use for the outer behavior that we exhibit are “soft/softness” and “hard/hardness”. So instead of saying “a man incorporates the feminine trait of compassion in order to become a better leader,” we could say “a man incorporates the soft/gentle trait of compassion in order to become a better leader”. Likewise, “a woman incorporates the hard/hardy/tough trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations,” instead of “a woman incorporates the masculine trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations.” This emphasizes how behavior is related to one’s personality and expression, and is _not_ related to one’s nature and biology.
Personality is not fixed. And both men and women would do well to double down on developing their masculinity/femininity respectively. It makes us happier.
Just last night my husband and I had a conversation about me acting masculine at times. I could tell he was turned off....and this morning, this pops up in my feed...Look at God!! Thank you Jasmyn!
Wow changing yourself for a man how pathetic i bet you didint act masculine if someday my husband sayd that i would dump him fast im not going to change for a man 😂
Hi! I'm a raised-feminist-and-progressive woman now married and turned Christian and I struggle with this concept A LOT. I grew up with masculinity as my main personality trait. It was my shield and my sword. My husband found this channel and even though I find it hard to accept, I do believe you are speaking the truth and hope that by watching you, I can come to the same conclusion. Thank you for opening up on the internet and risking ugly comments. Woman like me need you.
Masculinity is not a personality trait. Nor is it an “energy”. The ancients have always understood it as “male virtue”. A practice ordered for manliness. It’s the necessary virtues/practices that make boys into men. In modern society where there’s no order outside of ourselves to be formed toward, then everything becomes about simply preferences and personalities.
First off, I just want to say I love your channel and really appreciate your content. It's a normal thing for me to see one of your titles and not be on the same page as the statement, but usually after watching the video and seeing where you are coming from, I realize actually agree. After seeing this title, I felt the same as I would any other, but I was definitely more interested than I have been before. I was surprised that by the end of the video, it ended up being something that I disagreed with. However, this is definitely something I really appreciate. We have people in our lives, nowadays some that we don't know personally, that guide us, and after a while of being on the same page as them for so long, we forget something very important when it comes to guidance from other human beings; our differences. In my life, one of the biggest and most important lessons has been, "We are different, and that's beautiful." The message is obviously much deeper than that, but needless to say, it is a very important factor in what I got from this video. Even though, one of the main reasons I enjoy this channel as much as I do is because it's a place on the internet where I can come for guidance, that factor in itself is still very true. We are all different. So as some who disagree with the points made in this video, I am still very grateful to have watched it because of this realization itself. At the end of the day, you are a Christian woman, and everything you said was very true, to the Christian woman and the beliefs you guys follow. So even though the intended lesson of this video was not meant for me, I know it will be very beneficial to the guidance of the Christian woman and her journey with God. I know what I got from this video most likely wasn't the intent; however, I still really appreciate it. Thank you.
I am one who admires candor and the way you so respectfully and femininely disagreed is refreshing. I think that what you point out about differences is totally valid. So often we seek to only focus on that which is held in common and dislike seeing the opposite. I look at my mom friends, realizing our parenting styles are different, diets vary, hobbies diverge, etc., but we are religious, holistic-centered, and struggling on our homeschool journeys. I'm growing more accepting of the reality that each family has it's own dynamic that works for them, even with it's faults, weaknesses, or trials. It's humbling. Thanks for being brave to put up your comment and do so in a decent way. It's good feedback. Also we are ever-changing, who knows if one day you decide to go down a different path and begin to agree with this perspective. Never say never.
I’m Christian & I see all over society saying that women have a masculine side even in official published research papers & written books talking about women & men having both a masculine & feminine side & I believed it bcs it’s what I grew up being told was right & I never questioned it because it was so normalized to me. But I just saw the title of your video & for the first time in my life I questioned it & watching the video I realized you r right women & men are so much different than I thought thank you so much for making this video you have really opened my eyes & made me use my critical thinking skills I am so glad I found your channel your videos really help me see life through a new lens & think about life in a different perspective. And now I realize as a Christian that God really made women & men so different but still equal. You inspire me to want to get even closer to God so that I will never fall for what society tells me is normal & right ever again but instead to follow what God says I should & only listen to what God says.
I think we often confuse gender which is binary and temperament which is a spectrum. We are as women 100% feminine from the gender view but on a temperament scale depending on testosterone levels (among other things) temperaments vary from feminine and masculine traditionally attributed to male/female. I am fully woman but I also have a higher testosterone level as the average woman and my temperament matches that. Just as there a men with lower testosterone as the Average man with a more traditional feminine temperament. You can call it whatever you want but I think once you separate gender from temperament it clears up the confusion without erasing binary gender and at the same time accepting that we vary personality wise point blank.
Finally someone brought up what I was thinking. I’m not masculine. I’m completely feminine. Everything that I do is feminine through and through no matter what bc at the end of the day I am a woman.
What a gem of a video. I can't believe it's on youtube. I'm so used to seeing westerners preach about energies, equality, "putting yourself first", "loving yourself" etc like bots. Your video actually made me shocked. Your intelligence, your ability to articulate your thoughts, the depth you possess as a person are absolutely fantastic.
On the point of liberalism and gender theory: I think there is a slight difference between older liberal ideas of gender, which acknowledge some biologically determined differences between men and women but deny the need for different societal expectations and roles beyond that, and the more contemporary social constructionist philosophies like queer theory, which assume that everything about gender is performative and seek to overthrow everything about society that "represses" "non-traditional" expressions of sexuality and gender. I feel like the latter is the natural evolution of the former, but the reason I bring this up is that, despite their rhetorical appeals to freedom from oppressive moral structures, the more modern progressive promote an ideology that is rigidly moralistic in its own way. That's why they seek to introduce new rituals like sharing your "preferred pronouns" and new language like "cis" into our culture, and direct so much vitriol at people who decline to partake in all of that despite ostensibly being against "shaming" people for what they do and don't want to do. They don't really want to let "you do you"; they want to impose a new ideology that is just as strict about its rules as "traditional" gender norms, but in a polar opposite way.
At the end of the day, I don’t see it as indulging to let someone do what they want with their own body. After 18 - do what you want. “Come back to reality” - each person has their own reality. What I heard was “come back to MY reality” (what I believe is correct). Some want to cater to being a more “masculine” woman. Those women will attract more feminine men - for better or worse. And we have to let women struggle on some level to figure out why this is so. I know, coming from a Christian upbringing, that it’s awfully tempting to control what others do by suggesting or telling them what they are doing is “wrong.” To save others. What takes more courage is to be an example - to live our lives the way we want others to live. And let others do the same. The number of trans men “infiltrating” is extremely low, and of course a trans man or woman is still a person and there will always be people who are good and bad/evil. Just as non-trans Christian pastors have also done horrible things to children - but no one condemns all pastors. Anyway, talk like this is everyone’s freedom - and has been known not to help those who feel/know they want to be trans or act as the masculine in a queer setting, rather pushes them to hate themselves until they commit suicide. There is a better way - and it’s to let others be who they want to be. I love that you have a life that you love and a faith that fulfills you. That’s it. That’s the feeling in my reality that I wish more would embrace, but again it’s just my reality.
Amen. ❤🍀 No matter what kind of personality, interests or personal charms you have, it's not a "masculine" side per se. It's just you being your own person, but it's not the same as being inherently masculine. The same is vice versa. I know many guys who are more i.e sensitive, gentle, have this kind of personality or that kind of charm etc and they claim that they aren't like other men because of it.... Still there's nothing feminine or womanly about them. It's just their personality and that's okay. But we all should embrace and love our gender and embrace the fact that our respective femininity/masculinity looks different than in other people. Everyone will carry the traits of their gender differently and it doesn't diminish the fact that they are that gender through and through❣️
Love this🙌🏾 “everyone will carry the traits of their gender differently” and “our respective femininity/masculinity looks different than in other people”❤️
omg!!!! I just discovered your channel, and I was already liking the video, when I scrolled down and read the description where you said you were an orthodox christian!!!!!!! I am one too!!!!!! Ahhhhh it's so rare to find channels like yours!!! Keep up the amazing work!
Christ is risen from the dead trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life! Let's support her through prayer and the RUclips way: like, comment, subscribe.
If it’s one thing Ms Jazmyne is gonna do for me, it’s expand my vocabulary.😅 I’m constantly pausing the video and looking up the many different terms I’ve never heard of😳.. thankyou for another lovely video❤️
@@JasmyneTheodoranot everyone has to embrace your version of Femini Ty some woman like sports and working out and bodybuilding not every woman has to be all soft and girly like you so don’t judge others
Thank you for making this video Jasmyne, it is more progressive and comforting than other femininity videos that push the notion that women have to be/act a certain way in order to be feminine. Like you said, femininity is not performative, but rather women are innately feminine. Personally, I’ve come to the realisation and acceptance that a woman doesn’t have to be soft and quiet in order to be feminine. Being passionate and expressive/outspoken is also a very feminine/womanly trait and one trait is not better than the other. God created us with different personalities for a reason and we should embrace our differences. No one should be trying to act as something that they are not in order to be more “feminine”. One’s soft and quiet personality fits and works for that one individual’s life and the plans that God has for said person, and likewise one’s passionate/strong/dominant personality fits and works for that one individual’s life and the plans that God has for them. It’s ok to have preferences but no one should be made to feel less than.
Im on my journey of healing my femininity after a tumultuous childhood, and while watching this video I felt all my defenses drop. You are so admirable, thank you
I am not trying to compromise your thoughts. They seem really profound to me. But you say that leadership is a masculine role. What about women (who are feminine and not "embracing masculinity) who are naturally good leaders? I have seen them myself. They are not trying hard for it. It is just who they are: leaders. They are acting this way since childhood. and being comfortable in it. And trying to make them submit to someone other than God, in my humble opinion, would have been a waste of talent
Masculine and feminine are not synonymous with male and female. I get what you're saying, but we do have masculine and feminine energy which is related to hormones. We can live in such ways that perpetuate certain hormones being more or less prevalent over time. There is a certain amount of masculine and feminine energy that is appropriate for each person, it does not mean 50/50.
As a Hindu woman, I commented about your video. You replied to me telling me to take a closer look at the entire video. I took your advice, and after rewatching it, I'm happy did, as you clarified many points which I actually agree with. Many of these people who do these crystal energy/balanced energy stuff usually don't have reliable sources to learn from, so they end up developing flawed and misguided interpretations. I can't help but still disagree on the idea that women are feminine beings through and through, and associated points you made especially on marriage, but agree with everything else. Frankly, to go into the detail of what those are would take up a lot of time, but very informative hearing you talk about what your faith explains! looking forward to more of your content
I agreee, that woman don’t have a masculine side, however there is both dark and light feminine energy. Dark is more assertive has boundaries, holds ourselves accountable , light feminine is more soft.
This sounds similar to New Age. I don’t think think the qualities you’ve mentioned have anything to do with lightness or darkness. We’re now just fragmenting and compartmentalizing natural human behavior. Also who is defining this?
Thank you for everything dear,you truly are an inspiration❤️I'm starting my journey to find my true self and become a true and respectful woman. You are a wonderful,magnificent woman,God bless you❤️
Its not a modern idea. In ancient sanatana dharma text there is a thing call ardha narishwara. Which means balancing feminine and masculine side of us. Who needs to balance what depends on their individuality for their gender.
@@user-lpdygxvr-vesb you dont know what you are talking about. Your idea of spirituality is very westernised. I won't argue with you cause you need 10 more life times to understand what I said here. May be less if you start your sadhana.
Hiii. As a young adult in this crazy world I really found your channel so nourishing and refreshing, thank you ❤ Can I make a suggestion of a video about literal examples of how a godly marriage is? Lots of love from México 🇲🇽♥️
I absolutely love your channel❤️ I grew up with a very narcissistic mother who kept picking on me, telling me I could never be anything in my life. I basically feel like she always judged me for my outer femininity, and my choice of feminine clothes (I’ve always been very girly and likes to dress up etc), she always doubted me, and still does; like f example I’ve had my driver’s license for yeaaars and I drive a car daily, but if my dad’s car needs to be moved and no one’s there to move it, she’s rather wait for my sister or brother to come and move it then to let me.. she also always trash talked men a lot, always telling me how bad they are.. which I never appreciated.. anyway I didn’t let her get to me that much, or so I thought, for years ( I would just fight back and kind of brush it off). I went abroad to study, and the years being distant from her were so refreshing and calmed down a lot of the anger I had inside of me, BUT when I came back, being closer to her again, I suddenly just fell into this passive state, and I was basically running on masculine energy ( I was also very defensive and a bit aggressive, prior to leaving to study abroad), I noticed this a lot in the way I treated my husband as well. Im still recovering, healing back into my femininity… and I actually hate the masculine energy in me.. your videos help me a lot❤️ I hope I will manage to fully heal and fully be in tune with my femininity soon, because I can feel that my soul is not at peace until I do❤️🩹
You are women are you not of course you have feminine side you dont need to video to tell you that you dont need to be submissive to be feminine this the most dumbest comment here
I live this channel so much this is the first video I watched from you and I 100% agree with everything I recently fully changed my mindset got closer to god and I’m trying my best to not be manipulated by this crazy modern society I really hope more people will réalise this
It is different when one is manly or “womanly” and masculine or feminine. Spiritually, our souls are indeed balanced, but as people, women are naturally more feminine and men are naturally more masculine. When those energies are flipped, it can cause actual health problems and mental problems. Besides, some qualities are feminine (nurturing) and other are masculine (protecting), and yet, women can be protective and men can be caring. I think we should encourage societies to be more open minded and don’t bash people for their qualities, because they are only mirroring the conditions the people have. But we should also encourage people to embrace their male and female nature, because it is only of benefit for them. 🫶🏻
I see where you’re coming from. I was a christian for 18 years (my whole life) and it has only been one year now that I am living by my own knowledge and beliefs. As I and many people remeber their past lives, have spiritual abilities and other things, we cannot stay in the shadow forever. Hence, that’s why I have the point of view that I have. But this is not coming from a bad place, I don’t seek to shake your fate. In fact, I respect it very much! I adore how you talk about your fate so openly and would love to see you do so more often on this channel, as I believe it is very needed during this time. Anyways, take care! I love your videos 🥰🫶🏻
I'm always so glad to see the notifications of your new videos, Jas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & not holding back when speaking the truth.💕 That being said, I think a video discussing how to properly relate with the opposite sex would be highly appreciated as many women do not exactly comport themselves as they should with men. God bless you!🩷
I always hated being a Woman when I was in Teenage, used to call myself Tomboy. Living in a Conservative Country , in a conservative household , we suddenly become a "Woman" when we hit puberty no matter how young you are. Suddenly you have to carry this responsibility of hiding and concealing yourself coz now you're a WOMAN. No one allows us to be as Sporty and Loud as Boys, as free as Boys. (I was super insecure with my body coz my mother would tell me my bum would look like my Grandmother's) So many of us end up rejecting Femininity, since it's better to reject it than follow the Strict, Policised aspects of femininity that is allowed. We try to explore the "Masculine" side by wearing Androgynous clothes coz our Curves will be hidden, have a short hair cut so no men will sexualise, wear sneakers so our walk won't be "girly" . We all are just.... Broken. And that is when Feminism comes. Although, I don't agree with Feminism as a whole but I do understand that it's universal and every woman from any culture can find their strength through this if they don't have any other platform.
Thank you for standing up for WOMEN! Men cannot be feminine, a man who acts in a way which he believes is feminine is EFFEMINATE because to be feminine is to simply be what you are as a woman which a man can never be. Soooo many people miss this point but you articulate in such a beautiful and well-spoken way. My fav youtuber !!!
Beautiful! Even for some of us who got sucked into hyper independence, career and excessive workouts. We just need new behaviors and a better way to use that energy.
As much as i love this video !!! I have some questions!! So a woman can't be ambitious? Can't she have some dreams to build her empire ? Like owning a business? Can't she have a dream to be rich ? Will that make her not feminine?
Absolutely a woman can be ambitious! Just don’t let hustle & work compromise the embracement of your femininity. Remember to rest, relax, let go, surrender ❤️ to feel more aligned & at peace
When you are hearing someone say, "we all have a masculine and feminine side." What they mean is, "we would ALL do well, to do our best to empathize with the opposite sex." Are men not able to be nurturing, gentle, or vulnerable at times, whilst assertive, aggressive and close-minded at others? Can women not display these characteristics and their opposites from time to time? I wonder if we are being asked to "balance" our tendency towards extremism. So we don't loose sight of the other side of things. Without it, we're liable to fall into a very narrow-minded and subjective pattern of being, seeing, and thinking. Now, wouldn't that be a shame?
I wonder if anyone has any advice about remaining feminine when constantly surrounded by men. I am a young woman (university student) who is studying chemistry. I am around men all the time, and the majority of my closest friends are men. I’ve noticed that, as I’ve worked on healing and expressing my femininity more, I’ve strangely drawn more and more men as friends. I love my friends dearly, and I love spending time with them. Especially given the competitiveness of their studies, I think they really appreciate having a female friend. I always true to be nurturing and calming, and never to compete. They get enough (good natured) name-calling and competition from the other guys. I’m happy being a feminine presence in their lives, and they in turn support me. Great guys. That being said… they are all teenage boys (18-20 years old). While each of them might be gentlemanly when we are alone, I’m oftentimes alone in rooms of men. Often, it devolves into constant innuendo and crass or sexual jokes. The jokes never make me uncomfortable per se, but they are not the type of thing that I would say myself. How should I handle these situations? How do I retain my femininity and not become crass myself when I spend most of my time in these situations? There can be a pressure to return the dirty jokes, and while they often do try to tone themselves down, or don’t say certain things when I’m present, they are teenage boys. To ask them to not make constant dirty jokes would require reprogramming of their brains. How can I be a supportive and fun friend in these situations? I’m afraid of seeming uptight and unpleasant if I object or seem displeased. The last thing I want to do is mother these hardworking guys who just need to relax a bit. I understand it’s the way of groups of men to be kind of inappropriate sometimes. But I sometimes feel afterward like I’ve sullied the kind of woman that I want to be by engaging with them. I’ll look back and realize that yes, I did trade dirty jokes with them, and that is not the kind of thing that I want to do as a woman and follower of Christ. I’m wondering if any other women have advice?
See, God put this video in front of me when I was READY. This was golden, sage advice and this channel is really helping assisting in me softening up again as a woman. Blessings. 💕
@@JasmyneTheodoraoh, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's very understandable and I'm sure it will help alleviate your stress to unlist them. What you say is the absolute truth though, so even though people may view it as controversial, God is surely proud of you for being brave and speaking out. I pray that you'll feel better soon.
Another well done video! I was thinking it also comes from the New Age movement and then you mentioned it👍🏽. 7:34 This was important for me to hear. I’ve been curious/converting to Orthodoxy since October and at first there was a lot of New Age words and phrases I had to unfamiliarize myself with. It wasn’t hard. 9:11 I think many people who don’t know God have trouble knowing what it means and looks like to embody the fullness of their genders naturally in this modern world (12:06) You’ve mentioned before how submission in women is not weak though it is viewed as such. Things like how power looks like from women. We are called to act like men instead of women to get it. It’s unnatural and “unfair”. 10:43 People don’t realize how natural it feels and how beneficial it is to “conform”.
Hey, member! 💖 thank you for your support and insight. Orthodoxy video is imminent although it’s taking me a while to properly put together. I may have to divide it into several videos tbh
@@JasmyneTheodora please continue to take your time on those. Once it's posted, it's permanent. I strongly encourage it receiving the blessing and approval of your spiritual father first.
@@JasmyneTheodora Christ is risen! It's a beautiful message to give on the Lord's Day. We need the truth and you will see some backlash, but gain the right followers in the process. ❤
@@JasmyneTheodoraas someone who said basically the same stuff on twitter and got bullied off the app bc of it, i know how it feels... but nothing can erase the truth. keep it up!
Thankfully I think there’s less hate on RUclips because of the long-form videos vs. just a quick statement on Twitter. Takes less time to hate on a quick statement haha
Love this, sometimes as Christians we adopt pagan language and philosophy perhaps even unintentionally. Human beings are created in God's Image, male and female and not androgynous
You're so beautiful and wholesome! I loved this video, great arguments, I have been embracing more and more feminine nature and essence and it feels really good, I too have gotten a little lost in the balancing of the energies. Thanks for the video, God bless you and yours 🙏🕊️🤍⛲🌹
From my perspective, my opinion, (you have to say that first, or people get offended), this right here, is one of the main reasons why women nowadays are having such a hard time in relationships. Everything is so open and free and promiscuity is now seen as "self-expression" but then wonder why men won't stick around after the fact. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the woman, it is in a woman's nature to form some emotional attachment to a man after physical intimacy, it is in a man's nature to NOT form an attachment, men form attachments to women through being respected and needed in a provisional way. Women nowadays want to not only become intimate very quickly, but also don't mind taking care of a man and then wonder why the relationship doesn't work. Of course this is just one aspect of the relationship issues that people face nowadays, but a very major one.
I remember growing up I felt like something was wrong with me because I wasn’t as feminine & delicate like my mom, people would always tell me that a woman should act a certain way & dress a certain way. That was until I reached a certain age where I realized that it’s 100% okay to embrace both, I wouldn’t consider myself masculine, by any means but I definitely embrace both qualities now when I feel necessary. I’ve felt more at peace with myself since that realization but that’s just me
I'm a bit confused about the latter part of your comment. I can make out that you don't have a yin yang complex, but I'm still trying to figure out what you mean by embracing both. For example, in my life, I am the eldest of 4 girls and never felt completely drawn to wearing makeup, using nail polish, and wearing high heels. I much preferred the comfort of a natural look, but was lazy about it too: wearing sweats, not always brushing my hair, letting my leg hair grow. That was me then. As a young lady, I started to be more feminine and hygienic. I'm still a Plain Jane, even married with two children under 5 yo, but I make the effort to look presentable (remove unwanted hair, wearing flowy skirts/dresses, putting tallow balm on my wrinkles, etc.). I hope this gives the right context to unpacking my question.
So growing up I was told that a woman should dress more feminine, a woman shouldn’t be so aggressive, it’s unlady-like to curse, to burp & slouch or sit with my legs apart but when I say that I’ve found peace in embracing both qualities I mean that I enjoy embracing qualities that society might consider to be “feminine” or “masculine”, depending on the mood that I’m in & I won’t fall into the mentality that I’m not behaving the way a woman “should” behave because it’s okay to feel comfortable doing either. I categorized some things from what I was told was “lady-like” & “unlady-like” growing up. But this is what’s helped me feel a little more at peace & confident with myself, I know there’s much more to it but this is what came to my mind at the moment. I hope this helps explain things a little better. Feminine qualities: Light intensity exercises such as yoga Surrendering to control Skincare/makeup routine Wearing feminine clothing Crossing my legs while sitting & sitting up straight Being more gentle with my approach/demeanor Being more nurturing or motherly Being submissive Masculine qualities: High intensity exercises such as weight lifting or martial arts Taking control Dressing more comfortably (sweats, t-shirt, sneakers) Being more loose with my posture Being assertive Brutal honesty Being disciplined Being more dominant
@@stephanieblanco7055nothing wrong with leg hair its natural i have its its that dam patriatch that says we neetvto to all of that to look feminine you dont and leg hair will not make you masculine stop with the nonsens you dont need to wear flowery dresses either if you dont want to but being presentebal is good thing
Thisthisthisthis🙌🏼 you are absolutely spot on and I haven’t even watched the video yet! Only read the title. Edit: this reminds me of the work of Sri Namaste Moore, she talk a lot about this. We as women don’t have a masculine (Well, we kind of do, but it’s our husbands lol) but we do have both a yin and a yang, Yang being direct and active, Yin being receptive and restful. This is shown in the Proverbs 31 woman, who can care for her family and surrender to her husband while also running a household and contributing to the family business.
Did you know that that Proverbs 31 woman is a description of Queen Bathsheba?! My husband recently taught me this. I was mind blown and reluctant to believe it, especially when it's easier to judge her for her former life. Anyway, thought this was a fun fact. Also on that note, The Domostroy has a section on the matriarch knowing how to bake sourdough, garden and predict yields, handle finances, inspect the servants' work so they won't cheat by taking the best textiles, teach them how to cook, and never being idle, other than when falling ill, for that sets a good example. That ideal woman is a dream, balancing act of a workhorse and dainty creature. What we call unicorn 🦄.
I love this channel but I have to disagree. Spiritually we have both energy within us being that masculine and feminine energies represent the two halves of our brain. Saying that we are only feminine assumes that we only use one side of our brains. All humans also have both sex hormones in our bodies. The key is balance, not one sidedness. Masculine energy is needed in certain situations. Saying that we are only feminine is saying that we are incapable of certain masculine traits such as logic, when in reality the smartest among us use logic and emotion (masculine and feminine traits) together. The way you research these topics and present them so elegantly shows that you use both of your energies effortlessly. In fact, women have more neural connections between the two hemispheres of our brains, meaning that we can present a more androgynous energy of balance
I generally love your content but more than anything i love the way you put your thoughts across. Every time I listen to you my vocabulary gets upscaled
Perhaps better terminology to use for the outer behavior that we exhibit are “soft/softness” and “hard/hardness”. So instead of saying “a man incorporates the feminine trait of compassion in order to become a better leader,” we could say “a man incorporates the soft/gentle trait of compassion in order to become a better leader”. Likewise, “a woman incorporates the hard/hardy/tough trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations,” instead of “a woman incorporates the masculine trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations.” This emphasizes how behavior is related to one’s personality and expression, and is _not_ related to one’s nature and biology. (Btw this is not a criticism against how you worded things in the video, what you said was just fine since it matches the context of the topic. This is just my suggestion for anyone who sees my comment going forward.)
Don't you think that's just moving the goalpost? If hardness = masculinity, then it doesn't really matter which term you use in a sentence, they both mean the same thing.
@@emmadasilva1794 Sorry for the late response, RUclips sucks at sending notifications in a timely manner sometimes. In this case, with this video in mind, sure you have a point. But in general, depending on the context of the conversation one is having, the term “hardness” wouldn’t always equal “masculinity”. It really depends on what definition/perception is being used for both words. For example, if the conversation you’re having is adhering to strict biological reality (like a scientific discussion), then saying “man incorporates this feminine trait” or “woman incorporates this masculine trait” wouldn’t be very accurate and may possibly be confusing, because you biologically can’t be both man and woman at the same time. Maybe “man incorporates a trait that is usually associated with women” would be better, or maybe “man incorporates this soft trait” would be better. It depends honestly. Also I just don’t think it’s a good idea to attribute all hard/harsh traits as the same as masculinity and all soft traits as the same as femininity. Yes as a general rule men tend to express hard/harsh behaviors more than women, and women tend to express soft behaviors more than men. But personality varies from person to person, some men are softer than other men, and some women are harder/harsher than other women. Does that make the softer man be less of a biological male? Or the harsher woman less of a biological female?
@@DGolden247 Oh I totally agree with you on that. I think some people, like the woman in the video, commit the fallacy of saying an "is" equals an "ought." Just because on the aggregate level we can observe patterns in personality traits between men and women (an "is" statement), does not mean then that men or women ought to act according to those aggregate behavioral observations. I believe that whether you act more feminine or masculine on the whole does not say anything significant about your sex. Sex is a hard biologically DETERMINED fact, while certain behaviors can only be PREDICTED by your sex.
Thank you for sharing this, wow! You are right on all you say.. I agree that we shouldn’t indulge these individuals in their delusions. To show our love to others we must remind them of their true divine natures ❤️ God bless you and keep sharing that beautiful light and wisdom you have been blessed with 💕
Hello. This is the first time I watched one of your videos and I wanted to share my thoughts on the hermetic/alchemical principle of uniting the masculine and feminine…as someone who subscribes to the hermetic philosophy. I agree with you that human beings are not designed to be “androgynous”in any external sense. The metaphor of inner union is often interpreted to mean that gender roles and a gendered expression is an inferior way of being but I think this is a misunderstanding of the principle. I also very much agree with you that masculine and feminine roles often require some character traits often attributed to the opposite gender. The union of the inner masculine and feminine is better understood as a union of the conscious and subconscious aspects of mind. This requires that a person strive for balance between their receptive or perceiving functions and their acting or judging functions. In other words, a person should “hear” what their subconscious mind is trying to express before they can discern the truth and take correct action. If they fail to do this then the subconscious will rule over them through projections, fears, desires, etc. In the metaphysical sense, union of masculine and feminine is the effect of pineal and pituitary gland “activation”. The pineal is a masculine center likened to the sun aka “the divine “ and the pituitary is a feminine center linked to “the human”. When the pineal is activated it will emit hormones that will cause a person to feel that they are immersed in an inner light…this light is received by the pituitary causing a hormonal response resulting in a sensation of intense affection and warmth. A cascade of hormonal and energetic effects in the body eventually create a type of union between observation and action that is metaphorically androgynous or a reconciling of paradoxes. The perfectly centered awakened human being is not androgynous in action or appearance, but rather is the “holiest” expression of their sex/gender. In other words..,union of masculine and feminine isn’t the “what “ but the “how” of perfected and sanctified humanity.
For a long time I've been struggling with expressing myself...its improved but I need some guidance I would like a video on expressing yourself as a feminine woman on work, at home in relationships. It would be greatly appreciated.
Through watching so many of your videos I really want to compliment you on the way you speak. You are very educated and speak very formal and beautifully.
Your words are so true and have so much wisdom... It is so encouraging to hear the truth nowadays, in this "new era" that tries to confuse people and alter God's word. Gender issues and "social identity" is just one of these issues. Would be grateful if you could give us your thoughts about feminine energy & behaviour in a professional environment. How can we remain "real" women in a professional, highly patriarchical environment, without "losing" men's respect?
Jasmyne, I am an inquirer into the Orthodox Church and you help me so much to embrace my femininity, for so long i believed i was both masculine and feminine and believed i needed to balance it. Thank you for the clarity
Great video Jasmine❤️ I bought the book Eve in Exile as per your recommendation in the video descriptions. It was the best book purchase of my life!! Could you please make a video on more book recommendations on godly femininity?
As a single mother, I'm struggling with the world's view. I don't want to be the provider. I don't want to be the father. I don't want to be it all. I want to be the mother and I want to be a wife. I want to take care of my roles and have that man to take care of his.
Naturally as a child, with no indoctrination, I was a feminine tomboy. I preferred plying with boys than girls because of how catty they were & less fun. I am also Christian. I think women are both masculine & feminine . Some of us are survivors who had to claw ourselves out of tough situations. That doesn’t make me any less feminine than the next. I love my mental aptitude and strength which was birthed from depending on myself as no one else was any help. I also love my independence of man and reliance on God. There’s nothing wrong w that imo. I’ve been soft and got taken advantage of. Everyone has their own story.
The anger directed towards hierarchy is interesting. Linda Kohanov the Equine therapist and leadership coach was the first person I heard talking about this and she elaborates on this idea. I was in treatment in 2012 and in my last group discussion a gay guy there said to me ‘there’s no such thing as better than or less than’ my reaction was ‘why does he think that?’ I was not being as discerning as I should have been at the time. During my time there the Man who was counselling me also said ‘there is no justice, there is no such thing as right or wrong’ all I will say is… I do not want to be liberated from my sanity.
thank you so much ❤ I learn so much from you. Can you make a video how to be Christian ? I grew in an unreligious family so I am not sure where to start💖 Sending love and hugs to you Jasmyne🤍
Absolutely love and look forward to watching every video. You articulate yourself so well and have an amazing way of explaining your thoughts and perspectives. Would love to see more frequent videos
You go girl! 🙌 💪😁I agree with a lot of what you are saying, and i admire you for being the one to step up and say it! 💖🤍💖🤍💖🤍 You represent a HUGE amount of us women (no matter what religion) that need these counterpoints to the “liberal” culture (for lack of a better word) clearly voiced and articulated so eloquently. Please keep doing what you do and know that women from all walks of life are behind you every step of the way! 🎉 And when I say women, please know I don’t include mean men that have surgically tried to emulate us. I truly do believe people should do whatever makes them happy, and I respect that I will never have to endure the struggles of a Trans person, but this whole thing is starting to impend on women’s rights, and is being propagandized to young innocent children that do not need to be confused or even be thinking about who they are attracted to sexually. or that they don’t belong in the body they were born in.and that is where I draw the line.
Girl, that thumbnail 🤣
Took me 5ever 🥴
Lol she’d be so handsome 🤣🤣
Worth it to us 😂🎉 superb hook and sinker.
Lol😂😂
This channel has legitimately improved my life -- and videos like this are part of why. The truth that women are by nature feminine has been badly distorted by social constructionist gender theory. Judith Butler's idea that there is no innate difference between men and women and that gender is entirely performative has permeated our culture and thrown men and women alike into identity crises. I am grateful that through God's word and channels like yours I am able to gain more clarity about who I am as a woman. Keep up the good work.
I agree with you on Judith Butler. People like her are only hurting our children. She’s nuts.
So happy to hear this 💛
@@JasmyneTheodorahey! Sorry for replying directly but I just turned 17 and want to know your take on an observation I've had!
So I feel like women who say "I hate men" or "I don't need men" tend to try to act like men. They wear men's clothes, cut their hair short and sort of try to come off as masculine even if they still consider themselves female. I feel like liberal women a lot of the time lie when they say "I don't need men" when they accept trans women around them. I feel like deep down they don't actually see them as women, but go as far as to go along with it because they really do want men around them. I feel like a lot of them were hurt by toxically masculine men or done wrong by men that it got to a point where they were willing to accept any kind of man around them who they feel safe with, and what more safety can a women get around other women? Even if they are just coming off as women. The media has always really pushed feminity being some kind of trait only mean girls in movies take on or that their femininity is their entire personality. Like how the media has tended to associate pink to a mean blonde or something of that sort. But now that men are starting to speak up about wanting high quality feminine women, I feel like women have been so brainwashed into pushing their femininity down that they'll call the men who say this misogynistic and avoid the fact that women are at their best when they are feminine. I think women are just hurt and tired of the back and forth. I think a lot of them really do want men but have been forced to do "masculine" things that sort of makes them clash with their man in their relationships and ultimately fail because there's no stable balance. There's just a women trying to be masculine and lead and a man who's forced to submit because of that and end up living in their woman's house who pays all the bills and takes care of the kids. This is my take on it at least. And even though Andrew Tate can be pretty sh*tty sometimes I feel like he's not wrong about a lot of the things he says either. I feel like a lot of women hate him too because they are usually misguided, brainwashed, and unaccepting of the truth.
Anyways you're a brilliant woman and I love your vids! I loved this video in particular too can't wait for more and sorry this was long 😅
Thanks for this. I'm tired of hearing I should balance by "masculine" and feminine side. I don't want to be masculine at all. It's an unnatural state for women. We might have to be masculine if we are unsafe, unprotected or not provided for, but it's not a place we actually really want to be. It even has detrimental effects on our bodies.
Yes exactly. I agree😊
I do agree with you. - I also believe we all carry both these energies within no matter what body parts we have & it’s ok if others wants to be more balanced. There are beings who are naturally more balanced than others they have mastered their left and right brains.
The beautiful thing is that it’s ok for you to be you. We are all so unique & different & we are all one w another truly.
"We might have to be masculine if we are unsafe"
But are we "being masculine", or is that our human survival instinct kicking in? I believe there is social pressure to deny the part of our womanhood that protects, gets angry, or that can have high executive functioning because it may contradict societal norms of femininity. Framing part of our humanity as "masculine" and "other" keeps us from stepping into the fullness of who we are and are called to be. If it's human to want to protect yourself, and you are a woman, then it is part of your feminity. If we're female, we're feminine.
It’s not always bad to be masculine. It completely depends on the circumstances, but I do understand what you’re saying. I’m relieved to have a man to protect and provide for me. Who can call me down when I’m emotional. At the same time, I do want to have to ability to be assertive and logical when the circumstances call for it. For example I have family members who are atheists and think Christianity is nonsense. In order to engage with them, I need to be logical and rational, and not play into emotions because they see Christian’s as hyper emotional kooks lol. So yes, being feminine is wonderful. But there is value in cultivating masculine traits in certain circumstances. Unless you want/need to let your husband take over those situations then all power to you. I like to engage in rational apologetic debates, so it’s important for me to be in touch with my “masculine” side.
I didn't have guidance from any female in my family as to how to be feminine or how I should behave. Because I didn't have this guidance, I have the tendency to shout, be aggressive, and curse. I have been working on myself to decrease these behaviors because I want to be a better person. These videos that you make Jasmyne have been helpful. Thank you.
I don’t know if this helps, but keep in mind that your anger doesn’t make you masculine. It just makes you… angry 😅❤ a woman’s anger is still expressed in a woman’s way, it doesn’t make you “manly”… however, it’s still good to control your anger & learn how to forgive & be more gentle. But, men should do that too, because anger is not the same as strength or masculinity. Anger is just a sin that anyone can and does fall into. I hope that helps! ❤
@@cringeproof100wow I think this will help me thankyou!
I relate so hard you got this I believe in you!
Hi girl, let me tell u smthg, I know I probably can’t understand what it feels like for you to not have someone to guide you. But know that God is here for you and He cares about you, He is the God who is able to change our hearts and behaviors , ask him help and He will help and guide you , I love you sis but God loves u more❤️
God bless you
I am a Muslim woman, and besides the differences and similarities between the two religions, I am so grateful that finally someone could speak about that transgender issue in a realistic way, thank you! It is not about just our organs, not that easy. Why does not society encourage people to embrace their genders, and search for why they do not feel like man or a woman but in opposite gender, rather they basically ''if you do not feel that way, why don't you just change it''? Other than that, I feel closer to this point of view about gender roles than everything is equal for everyone. I also think that if two genders were equally responsible, there would be no space to help our spouses for God's sake (Allah in my case). It is good to have a space to ''help'' not always doing it because we are responsible for that. Again, thank you for your content!
Ameen sister. I feel the same way. We should be taught how to thrive within out feminity and masculinity (respectively) not told change it
❤❤❤
Subhana’Allaah , I agree with these sentiments. When we forget the criteria that the Creator set we get chaos! Through submission to the creator we find freedom and ease. Life doesn’t have to be this complicated. Ya Rabb help us 🤲🏽
Muslim and Christianity don’t have anything in common. What does Muslim mean? And then what does Christianity mean?
@@TeeAhhhna According to Islam, Jesus is a prophet of us. Mohammed and Jesus both are the messenger of Allah, so of course even though we don’t have the same religious, there are some similarities.
Literally the only one i can watch over and over ! And as a Christian RUclipsr, I love that everything you create is from a Christian perspective 💖💖💖
Omg yodeline you're here too, that's so cool😭 and I'm happy that she does things from a Christian perspective too, this is a small pet peeve of mine but I don't necessarily like when youtubers who claim they're Christian don't talk about things from a Christian perspective, like where are you getting your basis from that any of what you're saying is true or justified?
Yodeline!! ❤️
I agree she has made a safe space in the RUclips world, I love content creation for Jesus ✝️
Yes me too😊
Yodeline hey ❤
10:13 “It’s actually a loving thing to not indulge someone in their delusions.”
This is the perfect response to trans ideology. Going to use this!
Awesome
Me when my husband points out my errors. Me when my father confessor counsels me with a heavy hand.
What delusion that we women have dominant masculine side give me a break
I really appreciate this channel as a Muslim woman. The content and your ability articulate in an intelligent and clear way is soooo refreshing.
I’m so tired of the emotional mind numbing rhetoric of everyone “so called” progressive today.
Ya Allaah help us identify truth as truth and abide by it and help us to identify falsehood as falsehood and reject and abstain from it, Ameen.
Ameen ya Rabb
THANK YOU for saying this! I am tired of hearing that we have that "masculine" side!
Wrong. We harness both feminine and masculine energy within us. That is the law of the yin and yang. A boy is born a male but feminine energy lives within him through his connection with his mother. Later, he passes it on to his girlfriend or wife. But if a man is with another man, he passes femininity onto his male lover. However, a woman has her father's masculinity living inside her. Then she will pass it on to her husband. But sometimes both genders can withhold their energy. Thus, the energy never flows and moves.
One wouldn’t strive to balance being healthy and unhealthy, beautiful and ugly, good or evil because we know that balance is about being equal parts between two things. While masculinity or femininity aren’t inherently better than the other balancing the two would imply that they are equal within a person, and being equally feminine and masculine is not what men and women were made to do.
🙌🧠🧐
This is spot on. I don't want to be as unhealthy as I am healthy. I might compromise my health by falling off the streak with some bad choices, but it's never something that I'm proud of. I struggle and that keeps me going. It's very opposed to a world of equals.
Oh, you know what else? There's people who say evil needs to exist for good to exist. It's a misunderstanding.
Our priest talked about physical health in parallel to spiritual healing today. We read about the healing of the Paralytic. He was afflicted for 38 years before he could walk. Anyway, "we try to maximize pleasure and minimize pain" and demand things on our timing instead of waiting for God's grace.
wow! 👏🏽
Most healthy people understand their weaknesses and strengths. That's what balance brings. You can't be just good or just bad. Most of us inherit good and bad qualities as a whole.
Except people naturally fluctuate between those very same things throughout their life whether they strive to or not. Almost like it's natural or something.....
I used to think I had to balance both in my own internal yin and Yang, but over the past year I have really devoted myself to my feminine energy and I can see now that I am our Yin and my husband is our Yang. Thank you ❤
Exactly. The small part of Yang in you allows you to recognize and appreciate his greater Yang nature and vice versa. Then, your two complementary natures work together in harmony. This concept is largely misunderstood by those who haven't studied Daoism, and it's always a blessing to see someone who has figured it out😊
Kudos to you putting this up because you know they about to come for you sis!
🫣 I am ready.
They're not here yet...0.1% dislike rate!
i really feel that you're going to blow up soon, like your videos and ideas are just too well-thought-out and articulated to have such a small audience. religion is such a beautiful thing, im not even christian but i find that i can affirm so many ideas in my own belief system. moreover, this transgender craze is everywhere, and im so glad to see you speak out against the tenets of its ideology in such a smart way, its literally so scary :(.
My issue with this is that women OBVIOUSLY don’t have the natural tendencies to behave in a feminine way to the same degree. Watch little children. There are always girls who act more like boys and other girls who don’t and the same way with boys too. I get your point that this is still feminine behavior because women are born female and I was actually happy to hear it at first but then you basically said that it is simply every woman’s true nature to be submissive, gentle and quiet and that every woman who isn’t that way needs guidance to be more like that. That would imply that girls who are born with the natural tendencies to act feminine all the time are inherently better than girls who aren’t. Maybe you will learn this as you have more children. I think I understand what you’re saying but you’re completely ignoring personality differences which is what makes it seem “extreme” to me. I would understand if you said every woman should have certain behaviors to a degree. Acting in a compassionate way for example or even letting the husband take the lead but your message as I understood it was basically that all women naturally are quiet and submissive and that any woman who acts differently is still feminine but not in the best way possible. I don’t get why you’re so focused on this extreme binary idea. I personally think that women should be in touch with the feminine tendencies they have and don’t reject them but they shouldn’t be forced to act as something they aren’t. Just because you are naturally more submissive and quiet it doesn’t mean that that is every woman’s true nature.
Yeah i agree with this x i feel like that thinking is so black and white and it doesnt reflect the real world.
Finally, someone said it. Thank you. I completely agree with what you're saying.
🙏🏽❤️
I hear what you’re saying, in fact I had a similar reaction to yours while I was listening to her. But I don’t think she’s advocating for changing one’s entire personality just to become more feminine, nor do I believe she would say that if you don’t express more feminine traits than you’re less of a woman. Rather I think what she seems to really be advocating for is the balance between soft/gentle traits and hard/tough traits, while at the same time insisting that our nature/biology is either female or male, not both or fluid.
To elaborate on what I mean, I’ll just share what I had commented: Perhaps better terminology to use for the outer behavior that we exhibit are “soft/softness” and “hard/hardness”. So instead of saying “a man incorporates the feminine trait of compassion in order to become a better leader,” we could say “a man incorporates the soft/gentle trait of compassion in order to become a better leader”. Likewise, “a woman incorporates the hard/hardy/tough trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations,” instead of “a woman incorporates the masculine trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations.” This emphasizes how behavior is related to one’s personality and expression, and is _not_ related to one’s nature and biology.
Personality is not fixed. And both men and women would do well to double down on developing their masculinity/femininity respectively. It makes us happier.
Just last night my husband and I had a conversation about me acting masculine at times. I could tell he was turned off....and this morning, this pops up in my feed...Look at God!! Thank you Jasmyn!
In what ways were you acting masculine? I think I have some very masculine ways and I want to lessen them for my husbands peace and my own too.
Wow changing yourself for a man how pathetic i bet you didint act masculine if someday my husband sayd that i would dump him fast im not going to change for a man 😂
@@etanawomack1201 Please share the masculine ways. I want to learn and be more feminine for myself and my husband.
Hi! I'm a raised-feminist-and-progressive woman now married and turned Christian and I struggle with this concept A LOT. I grew up with masculinity as my main personality trait. It was my shield and my sword.
My husband found this channel and even though I find it hard to accept, I do believe you are speaking the truth and hope that by watching you, I can come to the same conclusion. Thank you for opening up on the internet and risking ugly comments. Woman like me need you.

Masculinity is not a personality trait. Nor is it an “energy”. The ancients have always understood it as “male virtue”. A practice ordered for manliness. It’s the necessary virtues/practices that make boys into men. In modern society where there’s no order outside of ourselves to be formed toward, then everything becomes about simply preferences and personalities.
@@sea.n.sun.beauty looked him up. Thanks for the share!
@@amyj4283 absolutely agree that masculinity isn't a personality trait. I was a rather confused teen. Thanks for the insight!

The best line was “men and women don’t know how to relate to each other” this is so true
First off, I just want to say I love your channel and really appreciate your content. It's a normal thing for me to see one of your titles and not be on the same page as the statement, but usually after watching the video and seeing where you are coming from, I realize actually agree. After seeing this title, I felt the same as I would any other, but I was definitely more interested than I have been before. I was surprised that by the end of the video, it ended up being something that I disagreed with. However, this is definitely something I really appreciate. We have people in our lives, nowadays some that we don't know personally, that guide us, and after a while of being on the same page as them for so long, we forget something very important when it comes to guidance from other human beings; our differences. In my life, one of the biggest and most important lessons has been, "We are different, and that's beautiful." The message is obviously much deeper than that, but needless to say, it is a very important factor in what I got from this video. Even though, one of the main reasons I enjoy this channel as much as I do is because it's a place on the internet where I can come for guidance, that factor in itself is still very true. We are all different. So as some who disagree with the points made in this video, I am still very grateful to have watched it because of this realization itself. At the end of the day, you are a Christian woman, and everything you said was very true, to the Christian woman and the beliefs you guys follow. So even though the intended lesson of this video was not meant for me, I know it will be very beneficial to the guidance of the Christian woman and her journey with God. I know what I got from this video most likely wasn't the intent; however, I still really appreciate it. Thank you.
I am one who admires candor and the way you so respectfully and femininely disagreed is refreshing. I think that what you point out about differences is totally valid. So often we seek to only focus on that which is held in common and dislike seeing the opposite. I look at my mom friends, realizing our parenting styles are different, diets vary, hobbies diverge, etc., but we are religious, holistic-centered, and struggling on our homeschool journeys. I'm growing more accepting of the reality that each family has it's own dynamic that works for them, even with it's faults, weaknesses, or trials. It's humbling. Thanks for being brave to put up your comment and do so in a decent way. It's good feedback. Also we are ever-changing, who knows if one day you decide to go down a different path and begin to agree with this perspective. Never say never.
@MarkedThat thank you! that honestly means a lot.
@@stephanieblanco7055 thank you so much. i really appreciate your comment.

I’m Christian & I see all over society saying that women have a masculine side even in official published research papers & written books talking about women & men having both a masculine & feminine side & I believed it bcs it’s what I grew up being told was right & I never questioned it because it was so normalized to me. But I just saw the title of your video & for the first time in my life I questioned it & watching the video I realized you r right women & men are so much different than I thought thank you so much for making this video you have really opened my eyes & made me use my critical thinking skills I am so glad I found your channel your videos really help me see life through a new lens & think about life in a different perspective. And now I realize as a Christian that God really made women & men so different but still equal. You inspire me to want to get even closer to God so that I will never fall for what society tells me is normal & right ever again but instead to follow what God says I should & only listen to what God says.
I think we often confuse gender which is binary and temperament which is a spectrum. We are as women 100% feminine from the gender view but on a temperament scale depending on testosterone levels (among other things) temperaments vary from feminine and masculine traditionally attributed to male/female. I am fully woman but I also have a higher testosterone level as the average woman and my temperament matches that. Just as there a men with lower testosterone as the Average man with a more traditional feminine temperament. You can call it whatever you want but I think once you separate gender from temperament it clears up the confusion without erasing binary gender and at the same time accepting that we vary personality wise point blank.
Finally someone brought up what I was thinking. I’m not masculine. I’m completely feminine. Everything that I do is feminine through and through no matter what bc at the end of the day I am a woman.
What a gem of a video. I can't believe it's on youtube. I'm so used to seeing westerners preach about energies, equality, "putting yourself first", "loving yourself" etc like bots. Your video actually made me shocked. Your intelligence, your ability to articulate your thoughts, the depth you possess as a person are absolutely fantastic.
Whoa whoa whoa I don’t think I deserve such a kind comment but thank you so much 🥹🥹❤️ this was so uplifting to read. Thank you for taking the time
Glory to God
On the point of liberalism and gender theory: I think there is a slight difference between older liberal ideas of gender, which acknowledge some biologically determined differences between men and women but deny the need for different societal expectations and roles beyond that, and the more contemporary social constructionist philosophies like queer theory, which assume that everything about gender is performative and seek to overthrow everything about society that "represses" "non-traditional" expressions of sexuality and gender. I feel like the latter is the natural evolution of the former, but the reason I bring this up is that, despite their rhetorical appeals to freedom from oppressive moral structures, the more modern progressive promote an ideology that is rigidly moralistic in its own way. That's why they seek to introduce new rituals like sharing your "preferred pronouns" and new language like "cis" into our culture, and direct so much vitriol at people who decline to partake in all of that despite ostensibly being against "shaming" people for what they do and don't want to do. They don't really want to let "you do you"; they want to impose a new ideology that is just as strict about its rules as "traditional" gender norms, but in a polar opposite way.
At the end of the day, I don’t see it as indulging to let someone do what they want with their own body. After 18 - do what you want. “Come back to reality” - each person has their own reality. What I heard was “come back to MY reality” (what I believe is correct). Some want to cater to being a more “masculine” woman. Those women will attract more feminine men - for better or worse. And we have to let women struggle on some level to figure out why this is so.
I know, coming from a Christian upbringing, that it’s awfully tempting to control what others do by suggesting or telling them what they are doing is “wrong.” To save others. What takes more courage is to be an example - to live our lives the way we want others to live. And let others do the same.
The number of trans men “infiltrating” is extremely low, and of course a trans man or woman is still a person and there will always be people who are good and bad/evil. Just as non-trans Christian pastors have also done horrible things to children - but no one condemns all pastors.
Anyway, talk like this is everyone’s freedom - and has been known not to help those who feel/know they want to be trans or act as the masculine in a queer setting, rather pushes them to hate themselves until they commit suicide. There is a better way - and it’s to let others be who they want to be. I love that you have a life that you love and a faith that fulfills you. That’s it. That’s the feeling in my reality that I wish more would embrace, but again it’s just my reality.
Your eloquence. You can tell that you think carefully about the words you use. 😊
Amen. ❤🍀
No matter what kind of personality, interests or personal charms you have, it's not a "masculine" side per se. It's just you being your own person, but it's not the same as being inherently masculine. The same is vice versa. I know many guys who are more i.e sensitive, gentle, have this kind of personality or that kind of charm etc and they claim that they aren't like other men because of it.... Still there's nothing feminine or womanly about them. It's just their personality and that's okay. But we all should embrace and love our gender and embrace the fact that our respective femininity/masculinity looks different than in other people. Everyone will carry the traits of their gender differently and it doesn't diminish the fact that they are that gender through and through❣️
Love this🙌🏾 “everyone will carry the traits of their gender differently” and “our respective femininity/masculinity looks different than in other people”❤️

@@JasmyneTheodoranot everyone has to embrace your version of Femini Ty some woman like sports and working out and bodybuilding not every woman has to be all soft and girly like you so don’t judge others
Thank you for making this video Jasmyne, it is more progressive and comforting than other femininity videos that push the notion that women have to be/act a certain way in order to be feminine. Like you said, femininity is not performative, but rather women are innately feminine. Personally, I’ve come to the realisation and acceptance that a woman doesn’t have to be soft and quiet in order to be feminine. Being passionate and expressive/outspoken is also a very feminine/womanly trait and one trait is not better than the other. God created us with different personalities for a reason and we should embrace our differences. No one should be trying to act as something that they are not in order to be more “feminine”. One’s soft and quiet personality fits and works for that one individual’s life and the plans that God has for said person, and likewise one’s passionate/strong/dominant personality fits and works for that one individual’s life and the plans that God has for them. It’s ok to have preferences but no one should be made to feel less than.
Im on my journey of healing my femininity after a tumultuous childhood, and while watching this video I felt all my defenses drop. You are so admirable, thank you
I admire your ability to speak the truth in a way that is not condescending, offensive or abrasive ❤
I am not trying to compromise your thoughts. They seem really profound to me. But you say that leadership is a masculine role. What about women (who are feminine and not "embracing masculinity) who are naturally good leaders? I have seen them myself. They are not trying hard for it. It is just who they are: leaders. They are acting this way since childhood. and being comfortable in it. And trying to make them submit to someone other than God, in my humble opinion, would have been a waste of talent
From a Christian perspective a woman with a natural talent for leadership should utilise that in groups of women and guide other women or children
Masculine and feminine are not synonymous with male and female. I get what you're saying, but we do have masculine and feminine energy which is related to hormones. We can live in such ways that perpetuate certain hormones being more or less prevalent over time. There is a certain amount of masculine and feminine energy that is appropriate for each person, it does not mean 50/50.
lol The thumbnail a handsome man
😂😂 apparently I look like The Weeknd as a dude
As a Hindu woman, I commented about your video. You replied to me telling me to take a closer look at the entire video. I took your advice, and after rewatching it, I'm happy did, as you clarified many points which I actually agree with. Many of these people who do these crystal energy/balanced energy stuff usually don't have reliable sources to learn from, so they end up developing flawed and misguided interpretations. I can't help but still disagree on the idea that women are feminine beings through and through, and associated points you made especially on marriage, but agree with everything else. Frankly, to go into the detail of what those are would take up a lot of time, but very informative hearing you talk about what your faith explains! looking forward to more of your content
I agreee, that woman don’t have a masculine side, however there is both dark and light feminine energy. Dark is more assertive has boundaries, holds ourselves accountable , light feminine is more soft.
This sounds similar to New Age. I don’t think think the qualities you’ve mentioned have anything to do with lightness or darkness. We’re now just fragmenting and compartmentalizing natural human behavior. Also who is defining this?
The only dark and light I know of is me in a sinful state (BC- Before Chrismation) and me in a salvific state (trying to attain Theosis).
Lilith vs Eve; the dark cold womb that aborts vs the dark warm womb that fosters life
I love that you can talk about such important things and yet say it so gently. It’s so calming to watch these videos ❤❤
Thank you for everything dear,you truly are an inspiration❤️I'm starting my journey to find my true self and become a true and respectful woman. You are a wonderful,magnificent woman,God bless you❤️
Its not a modern idea. In ancient sanatana dharma text there is a thing call ardha narishwara. Which means balancing feminine and masculine side of us. Who needs to balance what depends on their individuality for their gender.
That part isn’t postmodern, you’re right. But it’s a postmodern idea that women and men are basically interchangeable - modern gender theory
@@user-lpdygxvr-vesb you dont know what you are talking about. Your idea of spirituality is very westernised. I won't argue with you cause you need 10 more life times to understand what I said here. May be less if you start your sadhana.
Hiii. As a young adult in this crazy world I really found your channel so nourishing and refreshing, thank you ❤
Can I make a suggestion of a video about literal examples of how a godly marriage is?
Lots of love from México 🇲🇽♥️
I absolutely love your channel❤️ I grew up with a very narcissistic mother who kept picking on me, telling me I could never be anything in my life. I basically feel like she always judged me for my outer femininity, and my choice of feminine clothes (I’ve always been very girly and likes to dress up etc), she always doubted me, and still does; like f example I’ve had my driver’s license for yeaaars and I drive a car daily, but if my dad’s car needs to be moved and no one’s there to move it, she’s rather wait for my sister or brother to come and move it then to let me.. she also always trash talked men a lot, always telling me how bad they are.. which I never appreciated.. anyway I didn’t let her get to me that much, or so I thought, for years ( I would just fight back and kind of brush it off). I went abroad to study, and the years being distant from her were so refreshing and calmed down a lot of the anger I had inside of me, BUT when I came back, being closer to her again, I suddenly just fell into this passive state, and I was basically running on masculine energy ( I was also very defensive and a bit aggressive, prior to leaving to study abroad), I noticed this a lot in the way I treated my husband as well. Im still recovering, healing back into my femininity… and I actually hate the masculine energy in me.. your videos help me a lot❤️ I hope I will manage to fully heal and fully be in tune with my femininity soon, because I can feel that my soul is not at peace until I do❤️🩹
I always felt like I behave too masculine - This video gives me hope! Maybe there truly is femininity in me!
Lol yes you do ❤
The are different types of femininity
I needed this vid too Thank God for this vid
You are women are you not of course you have feminine side you dont need to video to tell you that you dont need to be submissive to be feminine this the most dumbest comment here

I live this channel so much this is the first video I watched from you and I 100% agree with everything I recently fully changed my mindset got closer to god and I’m trying my best to not be manipulated by this crazy modern society I really hope more people will réalise this
It is different when one is manly or “womanly” and masculine or feminine. Spiritually, our souls are indeed balanced, but as people, women are naturally more feminine and men are naturally more masculine. When those energies are flipped, it can cause actual health problems and mental problems. Besides, some qualities are feminine (nurturing) and other are masculine (protecting), and yet, women can be protective and men can be caring. I think we should encourage societies to be more open minded and don’t bash people for their qualities, because they are only mirroring the conditions the people have. But we should also encourage people to embrace their male and female nature, because it is only of benefit for them. 🫶🏻
I honestly disagree that the inner spirit balanced/androgynous. I think like our biological makeup, our souls are either feminine or masculine
I see where you’re coming from. I was a christian for 18 years (my whole life) and it has only been one year now that I am living by my own knowledge and beliefs. As I and many people remeber their past lives, have spiritual abilities and other things, we cannot stay in the shadow forever. Hence, that’s why I have the point of view that I have. But this is not coming from a bad place, I don’t seek to shake your fate. In fact, I respect it very much! I adore how you talk about your fate so openly and would love to see you do so more often on this channel, as I believe it is very needed during this time. Anyways, take care! I love your videos 🥰🫶🏻
I'm always so glad to see the notifications of your new videos, Jas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & not holding back when speaking the truth.💕
That being said, I think a video discussing how to properly relate with the opposite sex would be highly appreciated as many women do not exactly comport themselves as they should with men.
God bless you!🩷
I always hated being a Woman when I was in Teenage, used to call myself Tomboy. Living in a Conservative Country , in a conservative household , we suddenly become a "Woman" when we hit puberty no matter how young you are. Suddenly you have to carry this responsibility of hiding and concealing yourself coz now you're a WOMAN. No one allows us to be as Sporty and Loud as Boys, as free as Boys. (I was super insecure with my body coz my mother would tell me my bum would look like my Grandmother's)
So many of us end up rejecting Femininity, since it's better to reject it than follow the Strict, Policised aspects of femininity that is allowed.
We try to explore the "Masculine" side by wearing Androgynous clothes coz our Curves will be hidden, have a short hair cut so no men will sexualise, wear sneakers so our walk won't be "girly" . We all are just.... Broken.
And that is when Feminism comes.
Although, I don't agree with Feminism as a whole but I do understand that it's universal and every woman from any culture can find their strength through this if they don't have any other platform.
Thank you for standing up for WOMEN! Men cannot be feminine, a man who acts in a way which he believes is feminine is EFFEMINATE because to be feminine is to simply be what you are as a woman which a man can never be. Soooo many people miss this point but you articulate in such a beautiful and well-spoken way. My fav youtuber !!!
Beautiful! Even for some of us who got sucked into hyper independence, career and excessive workouts. We just need new behaviors and a better way to use that energy.
As much as i love this video !!! I have some questions!! So a woman can't be ambitious? Can't she have some dreams to build her empire ? Like owning a business? Can't she have a dream to be rich ? Will that make her not feminine?
Absolutely a woman can be ambitious! Just don’t let hustle & work compromise the embracement of your femininity. Remember to rest, relax, let go, surrender ❤️ to feel more aligned & at peace
When you are hearing someone say, "we all have a masculine and feminine side."
What they mean is, "we would ALL do well, to do our best to empathize with the opposite sex."
Are men not able to be nurturing, gentle, or vulnerable at times, whilst assertive, aggressive and close-minded at others?
Can women not display these characteristics and their opposites from time to time?
I wonder if we are being asked to "balance" our tendency towards extremism. So we don't loose sight of the other side of things.
Without it, we're liable to fall into a very narrow-minded and subjective pattern of being, seeing, and thinking.
Now, wouldn't that be a shame?
There can’t be excellence or beauty if the illusion of degeneracy being good is maintained 💎
I wonder if anyone has any advice about remaining feminine when constantly surrounded by men. I am a young woman (university student) who is studying chemistry. I am around men all the time, and the majority of my closest friends are men. I’ve noticed that, as I’ve worked on healing and expressing my femininity more, I’ve strangely drawn more and more men as friends.
I love my friends dearly, and I love spending time with them. Especially given the competitiveness of their studies, I think they really appreciate having a female friend. I always true to be nurturing and calming, and never to compete. They get enough (good natured) name-calling and competition from the other guys. I’m happy being a feminine presence in their lives, and they in turn support me. Great guys.
That being said… they are all teenage boys (18-20 years old). While each of them might be gentlemanly when we are alone, I’m oftentimes alone in rooms of men. Often, it devolves into constant innuendo and crass or sexual jokes. The jokes never make me uncomfortable per se, but they are not the type of thing that I would say myself. How should I handle these situations? How do I retain my femininity and not become crass myself when I spend most of my time in these situations?
There can be a pressure to return the dirty jokes, and while they often do try to tone themselves down, or don’t say certain things when I’m present, they are teenage boys. To ask them to not make constant dirty jokes would require reprogramming of their brains.
How can I be a supportive and fun friend in these situations? I’m afraid of seeming uptight and unpleasant if I object or seem displeased. The last thing I want to do is mother these hardworking guys who just need to relax a bit. I understand it’s the way of groups of men to be kind of inappropriate sometimes. But I sometimes feel afterward like I’ve sullied the kind of woman that I want to be by engaging with them. I’ll look back and realize that yes, I did trade dirty jokes with them, and that is not the kind of thing that I want to do as a woman and follower of Christ.
I’m wondering if any other women have advice?
Nothing wrong with dirty jokes of private with friends and in dorm not in the open
@boffy2648people are offended by every littel thing by these days

The way you speak is so eloquent and well thought out. ❤

Why did you unlist this video, Jasmyne? It's one of my favourites from you :')
Because it’s controversial lol. I’ve been having issues with anxiety lately so I privatized/unlisted everything controversial for now.
@@JasmyneTheodoraoh, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's very understandable and I'm sure it will help alleviate your stress to unlist them. What you say is the absolute truth though, so even though people may view it as controversial, God is surely proud of you for being brave and speaking out. I pray that you'll feel better soon.
Another well done video! I was thinking it also comes from the New Age movement and then you mentioned it👍🏽. 7:34 This was important for me to hear. I’ve been curious/converting to Orthodoxy since October and at first there was a lot of New Age words and phrases I had to unfamiliarize myself with. It wasn’t hard. 9:11 I think many people who don’t know God have trouble knowing what it means and looks like to embody the fullness of their genders naturally in this modern world (12:06) You’ve mentioned before how submission in women is not weak though it is viewed as such. Things like how power looks like from women. We are called to act like men instead of women to get it. It’s unnatural and “unfair”.
10:43 People don’t realize how natural it feels and how beneficial it is to “conform”.
Hey, member! 💖 thank you for your support and insight. Orthodoxy video is imminent although it’s taking me a while to properly put together. I may have to divide it into several videos tbh
@@JasmyneTheodora please continue to take your time on those. Once it's posted, it's permanent. I strongly encourage it receiving the blessing and approval of your spiritual father first.

Love this, sometimes as Christians we adopt pagan language and philosophy perhaps even unintentionally. Human beings are created in God's Image, male and female and not androgynous
You're so beautiful and wholesome! I loved this video, great arguments, I have been embracing more and more feminine nature and essence and it feels really good, I too have gotten a little lost in the balancing of the energies. Thanks for the video, God bless you and yours 🙏🕊️🤍⛲🌹
From my perspective, my opinion, (you have to say that first, or people get offended), this right here, is one of the main reasons why women nowadays are having such a hard time in relationships. Everything is so open and free and promiscuity is now seen as "self-expression" but then wonder why men won't stick around after the fact. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the woman, it is in a woman's nature to form some emotional attachment to a man after physical intimacy, it is in a man's nature to NOT form an attachment, men form attachments to women through being respected and needed in a provisional way. Women nowadays want to not only become intimate very quickly, but also don't mind taking care of a man and then wonder why the relationship doesn't work. Of course this is just one aspect of the relationship issues that people face nowadays, but a very major one.
I remember growing up I felt like something was wrong with me because I wasn’t as feminine & delicate like my mom, people would always tell me that a woman should act a certain way & dress a certain way. That was until I reached a certain age where I realized that it’s 100% okay to embrace both, I wouldn’t consider myself masculine, by any means but I definitely embrace both qualities now when I feel necessary. I’ve felt more at peace with myself since that realization but that’s just me
I'm a bit confused about the latter part of your comment. I can make out that you don't have a yin yang complex, but I'm still trying to figure out what you mean by embracing both. For example, in my life, I am the eldest of 4 girls and never felt completely drawn to wearing makeup, using nail polish, and wearing high heels. I much preferred the comfort of a natural look, but was lazy about it too: wearing sweats, not always brushing my hair, letting my leg hair grow. That was me then. As a young lady, I started to be more feminine and hygienic. I'm still a Plain Jane, even married with two children under 5 yo, but I make the effort to look presentable (remove unwanted hair, wearing flowy skirts/dresses, putting tallow balm on my wrinkles, etc.). I hope this gives the right context to unpacking my question.
So growing up I was told that a woman should dress more feminine, a woman shouldn’t be so aggressive, it’s unlady-like to curse, to burp & slouch or sit with my legs apart but when I say that I’ve found peace in embracing both qualities I mean that I enjoy embracing qualities that society might consider to be “feminine” or “masculine”, depending on the mood that I’m in & I won’t fall into the mentality that I’m not behaving the way a woman “should” behave because it’s okay to feel comfortable doing either. I categorized some things from what I was told was “lady-like” & “unlady-like” growing up. But this is what’s helped me feel a little more at peace & confident with myself, I know there’s much more to it but this is what came to my mind at the moment. I hope this helps explain things a little better.

Nothing wrong with you
@@stephanieblanco7055you dont need make up nor wear heel or nail polish to be feminine you are woman you are born feminine

Thisthisthisthis🙌🏼 you are absolutely spot on and I haven’t even watched the video yet! Only read the title.
Edit: this reminds me of the work of Sri Namaste Moore, she talk a lot about this. We as women don’t have a masculine (Well, we kind of do, but it’s our husbands lol) but we do have both a yin and a yang, Yang being direct and active, Yin being receptive and restful. This is shown in the Proverbs 31 woman, who can care for her family and surrender to her husband while also running a household and contributing to the family business.
Did you know that that Proverbs 31 woman is a description of Queen Bathsheba?! My husband recently taught me this. I was mind blown and reluctant to believe it, especially when it's easier to judge her for her former life. Anyway, thought this was a fun fact. Also on that note, The Domostroy has a section on the matriarch knowing how to bake sourdough, garden and predict yields, handle finances, inspect the servants' work so they won't cheat by taking the best textiles, teach them how to cook, and never being idle, other than when falling ill, for that sets a good example. That ideal woman is a dream, balancing act of a workhorse and dainty creature. What we call unicorn 🦄.
@@stephanieblanco7055 Interesting! Thank you for sharing
I love this channel but I have to disagree. Spiritually we have both energy within us being that masculine and feminine energies represent the two halves of our brain. Saying that we are only feminine assumes that we only use one side of our brains. All humans also have both sex hormones in our bodies. The key is balance, not one sidedness. Masculine energy is needed in certain situations. Saying that we are only feminine is saying that we are incapable of certain masculine traits such as logic, when in reality the smartest among us use logic and emotion (masculine and feminine traits) together. The way you research these topics and present them so elegantly shows that you use both of your energies effortlessly. In fact, women have more neural connections between the two hemispheres of our brains, meaning that we can present a more androgynous energy of balance
So so good, yet again!!❤ Love all of your videos!! Taking many mental notes!
Best part: in a world of lies truth is considered as falsehood and insanity❤❤
You are glowing and inspiring
🥹 thank you
I generally love your content but more than anything i love the way you put your thoughts across. Every time I listen to you my vocabulary gets upscaled
Perhaps better terminology to use for the outer behavior that we exhibit are “soft/softness” and “hard/hardness”. So instead of saying “a man incorporates the feminine trait of compassion in order to become a better leader,” we could say “a man incorporates the soft/gentle trait of compassion in order to become a better leader”. Likewise, “a woman incorporates the hard/hardy/tough trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations,” instead of “a woman incorporates the masculine trait of discernment in order to avoid putting herself in compromising situations.” This emphasizes how behavior is related to one’s personality and expression, and is _not_ related to one’s nature and biology.
(Btw this is not a criticism against how you worded things in the video, what you said was just fine since it matches the context of the topic. This is just my suggestion for anyone who sees my comment going forward.)
Don't you think that's just moving the goalpost? If hardness = masculinity, then it doesn't really matter which term you use in a sentence, they both mean the same thing.
@@emmadasilva1794 Sorry for the late response, RUclips sucks at sending notifications in a timely manner sometimes.
In this case, with this video in mind, sure you have a point. But in general, depending on the context of the conversation one is having, the term “hardness” wouldn’t always equal “masculinity”. It really depends on what definition/perception is being used for both words. For example, if the conversation you’re having is adhering to strict biological reality (like a scientific discussion), then saying “man incorporates this feminine trait” or “woman incorporates this masculine trait” wouldn’t be very accurate and may possibly be confusing, because you biologically can’t be both man and woman at the same time. Maybe “man incorporates a trait that is usually associated with women” would be better, or maybe “man incorporates this soft trait” would be better. It depends honestly.
Also I just don’t think it’s a good idea to attribute all hard/harsh traits as the same as masculinity and all soft traits as the same as femininity. Yes as a general rule men tend to express hard/harsh behaviors more than women, and women tend to express soft behaviors more than men. But personality varies from person to person, some men are softer than other men, and some women are harder/harsher than other women. Does that make the softer man be less of a biological male? Or the harsher woman less of a biological female?
@@DGolden247 Oh I totally agree with you on that. I think some people, like the woman in the video, commit the fallacy of saying an "is" equals an "ought." Just because on the aggregate level we can observe patterns in personality traits between men and women (an "is" statement), does not mean then that men or women ought to act according to those aggregate behavioral observations. I believe that whether you act more feminine or masculine on the whole does not say anything significant about your sex. Sex is a hard biologically DETERMINED fact, while certain behaviors can only be PREDICTED by your sex.
Thank you for sharing this, wow! You are right on all you say.. I agree that we shouldn’t indulge these individuals in their delusions. To show our love to others we must remind them of their true divine natures ❤️
God bless you and keep sharing that beautiful light and wisdom you have been blessed with 💕
Hello. This is the first time I watched one of your videos and I wanted to share my thoughts on the hermetic/alchemical principle of uniting the masculine and feminine…as someone who subscribes to the hermetic philosophy.
I agree with you that human beings are not designed to be “androgynous”in any external sense. The metaphor of inner union is often interpreted to mean that gender roles and a gendered expression is an inferior way of being but I think this is a misunderstanding of the principle.
I also very much agree with you that masculine and feminine roles often require some character traits often attributed to the opposite gender.
The union of the inner masculine and feminine is better understood as a union of the conscious and subconscious aspects of mind. This requires that a person strive for balance between their receptive or perceiving functions and their acting or judging functions. In other words, a person should “hear” what their subconscious mind is trying to express before they can discern the truth and take correct action. If they fail to do this then the subconscious will rule over them through projections, fears, desires, etc.
In the metaphysical sense, union of masculine and feminine is the effect of pineal and pituitary gland “activation”. The pineal is a masculine center likened to the sun aka “the divine “ and the pituitary is a feminine center linked to “the human”. When the pineal is activated it will emit hormones that will cause a person to feel that they are immersed in an inner light…this light is received by the pituitary causing a hormonal response resulting in a sensation of intense affection and warmth. A cascade of hormonal and energetic effects in the body eventually create a type of union between observation and action that is metaphorically androgynous or a reconciling of paradoxes.
The perfectly centered awakened human being is not androgynous in action or appearance, but rather is the “holiest” expression of their sex/gender.
In other words..,union of masculine and feminine isn’t the “what “ but the “how” of perfected and sanctified humanity.
Along with truth and wisdom, you also bring incredible eloquence! it's a joy to listen to you :)
For a long time I've been struggling with expressing myself...its improved but I need some guidance I would like a video on expressing yourself as a feminine woman on work, at home in relationships.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Through watching so many of your videos I really want to compliment you on the way you speak. You are very educated and speak very formal and beautifully.
So thankful for voices like yours ❤
Your words are so true and have so much wisdom... It is so encouraging to hear the truth nowadays, in this "new era" that tries to confuse people and alter God's word. Gender issues and "social identity" is just one of these issues.
Would be grateful if you could give us your thoughts about feminine energy & behaviour in a professional environment. How can we remain "real" women in a professional, highly patriarchical environment, without "losing" men's respect?
Jasmyne, I am an inquirer into the Orthodox Church and you help me so much to embrace my femininity, for so long i believed i was both masculine and feminine and believed i needed to balance it. Thank you for the clarity
This !!!!❤ thank you so much. So relieving to hear this
Great video Jasmine❤️ I bought the book Eve in Exile as per your recommendation in the video descriptions. It was the best book purchase of my life!!
Could you please make a video on more book recommendations on godly femininity?
As a single mother, I'm struggling with the world's view. I don't want to be the provider. I don't want to be the father. I don't want to be it all. I want to be the mother and I want to be a wife. I want to take care of my roles and have that man to take care of his.
You have a such a warm light that radiates from you
Naturally as a child, with no indoctrination, I was a feminine tomboy. I preferred plying with boys than girls because of how catty they were & less fun. I am also Christian. I think women are both masculine & feminine . Some of us are survivors who had to claw ourselves out of tough situations. That doesn’t make me any less feminine than the next. I love my mental aptitude and strength which was birthed from depending on myself as no one else was any help. I also love my independence of man and reliance on God. There’s nothing wrong w that imo. I’ve been soft and got taken advantage of. Everyone has their own story.
Thank you soooooo much for not apologizing. AMEN sister!
Thank you so much, Miss Jasmyne!💕 This video is amazingly beautiful and so biblically informative!
Thank you for the video, great facts. Serbian orthodox girl here, Christ is risen! ☦️💌
The anger directed towards hierarchy is interesting. Linda Kohanov the Equine therapist and leadership coach was the first person I heard talking about this and she elaborates on this idea. I was in treatment in 2012 and in my last group discussion a gay guy there said to me ‘there’s no such thing as better than or less than’ my reaction was ‘why does he think that?’ I was not being as discerning as I should have been at the time. During my time there the Man who was counselling me also said ‘there is no justice, there is no such thing as right or wrong’ all I will say is… I do not want to be liberated from my sanity.
thank you so much ❤ I learn so much from you. Can you make a video how to be Christian ? I grew in an unreligious family so I am not sure where to start💖 Sending love and hugs to you Jasmyne🤍
Making one this month!! Going to get some others out before but stay tuned!
Try to get knowledge about other religions too! 🤍
Love, from a Muslim
Your channel is so helpful! Thank you
This is the best perspective on this subject so far. Thanks you
Yay! Thank you for your support!
Absolutely love and look forward to watching every video. You articulate yourself so well and have an amazing way of explaining your thoughts and perspectives. Would love to see more frequent videos
I wouldn't even know how to be masculine. Where would I even begin? And the thumbnail is absolute gold. 😂😂😂
Good point!! And thank you!
What song did you use in the background of the video? It is beautiful and I love the topic 💌
You go girl! 🙌 💪😁I agree with a lot of what you are saying, and i admire you for being the one to step up and say it! 💖🤍💖🤍💖🤍
You represent a HUGE amount of us women (no matter what religion) that need these counterpoints to the “liberal” culture (for lack of a better word) clearly voiced and articulated so eloquently. Please keep doing what you do and know that women from all walks of life are behind you every step of the way! 🎉 And when I say women, please know I don’t include mean men that have surgically tried to emulate us. I truly do believe people should do whatever makes them happy, and I respect that I will never have to endure the struggles of a Trans person, but this whole thing is starting to impend on women’s rights, and is being propagandized to young innocent children that do not need to be confused or even be thinking about who they are attracted to sexually. or that they don’t belong in the body they were born in.and that is where I draw the line.
Do you have podcast cause I enjoy listening so much about femininity and masculinity conversation!!!❤❤ Your amazing at this ..
love your content ☺💕
Yayayayay 😀
