In our society, thinking is viewed as the source of everything. We are commonly taught that everything starts with thinking, hence the admonition to "think positively." However, we were feeling creatures before we were thinking creatures. Women, who tend to be more in tune with their feelings are often made to feel that being equal to a man means having to sacrifice their emotions and be more logical. This isn't the case. Feelings are equally important to thinking and until we value feelings as much as we value thinking, we will not fully respect or value femininity.
