The perception of femininity

I believe that the perception of femininity is changing in the western societies. For example, in the past the women were expected to be weak and passive, they still are. The change is that now, they are also expected to compete against men in bussiness life. The main problem of this changing phase is that women are expected to be weak and strong at the same time. Since this is impossible, the perception of femininity will keep confusing the younger generations.
