Feminization (sociology)
Feminization in sociology means that things that were traditionally associated with women, like being nurturing or emotional, are becoming more important or prevalent in society. This can happen because women are gaining more rights and opportunities, or because society is changing and valuing different qualities than before.
For example, if more men start taking on traditionally feminine roles like staying home to take care of children, that would be an example of feminization. Alternatively, if workplaces start valuing communication and emotional intelligence more than brute strength or competitiveness, that would also be an example of feminization.
Feminization is not about making everything "girly" or "pink." It's about recognizing that qualities traditionally associated with women have value, and that society benefits when everyone is able to express themselves fully, regardless of gender.
