If you think about it, it's more feminine and let's the man be the man.
I agree that the man should lead and set the frame but once feelings are established and you begin dating (and screwing), I think a woman can be extremely feminine and submissive but still initiate in her own feminine way.
Like cooking him a nice meal to share (nothing expensive or elaborate) after he's taken her out numerous times and indicated HIS strong interest. Or initiating texting once in a while, saying hi, I miss you.
Being lazy and waiting for the man to do all the heavy lifting to prove his interest or that he's a MAN, has very little to do with masculine/feminine polarity imo.
A woman's femininity and a man's masculinity is reflected in their "essence," their internal state, their vibe, their style. How they speak and carry themselves and how they treat others.
Nurturing is also a feminine quality and showing through actions that you care.
I know a woman who is just like @Be, doesn't initiate, but responds.
She's one of the loudest most abrasive women I've ever known, there is NOTHING feminine about her in the least.
On the other hand, my girl looks like a soft powder puff, she's sweet and compliant, and she initiates from time to time in her own non-aggressive way. Her femininity comes from within - her essence.
And every man who's ever met and dated her falls in love with her - women too! Although she's 100% straight.
