Well, I think femininity is in many essential ways defined by the inequality of women, so it can't help but perpetuate it. I also think feminine and masculine are socially constructed categories that no one fits, that there is no such thing as "women" really, and that everything about being a woman, short of periods and breasts and babies, is learned.
Why are you trying to word it carefully? Because you want to say I just hate women? I don't. I hate weakness and slavishness and resentment and the double-bind that is the situation of women in relation to marriage, and I hate all that comes with it--the objectification, the competition, the fashion (which at its worst is an obscene mix of the two previous), the depression and manic-ness, the shyness, the shame, the petty small-mindedness, the focus on personal and practical concerns, the situation of a homemaker in a capitalist society, the commodification of sexuality, the quietness, the isolation, the dependence, the politeness, the fear of making the bold moves men are forced to do and the chastising of women who do so anyway...and so on.
