On TikTok, a new trend has emerged: that of encouraging women to enhance their feminine energy and enjoy princess treatment. What does this consist of? Explanations.
The social network TikTok regularly gives rise to new trends. The latest concerns feminine energy. The influencers who promote it explain that it would be linked to a series of principles and values.
What is feminine energy?
These influencers therefore share in their videos a series of tips for developing this feminine energy. Inspired by different philosophies of life, such as yin and yang among others, these tips advocate “always being polite”, “remaining calm” in all circumstances and “not displaying your independence too much”.
Indeed, according to these young women, being too independent “would dissuade people (meaning men here) from satisfying them”. On the physical side, the woman who develops her feminine energy must “be prepared, without overdoing it”. On the emotional side, she must accept “being vulnerable” and “being helped”, like a little girl. A rather infantilizing concept, in short.
Feminine energy, to find the man of your life
In fact, although it seems paradoxical, the concept of feminine energy is actually a series of tips to implement to find your future spouse. To do this, influencers also recommend having self-confidence, but also being “gentle”, not playing the “strong woman”, but rather “letting yourself be guided”.
For those who are in a relationship, “going to the gym” is not recommended, just like “blaming your partner”, that you should “let him drive”, when you are in the car with him . Personal development advice that strongly resembles gender stereotypes, ultimately.
Good in his body, good in his head!
Beware of the scam behind it
These principles and values, dictated in the form of instructions for becoming a “quality” woman, are not given randomly by certain influencers. Very often, they also act as well-being and personal development coaches and invite those who listen to their advice to continue their training, via paid coaching sessions. You have been warned.
