Writer's Block: Thanks for the Input

My parents used to, in all seriousness and without any apparent awareness of irony, constantly quote this song at me as a guide to behavior and aspirations, thereby setting up loads of internal conflict, self-esteem issues and feelings of misanthropy and hopelessness that have yet to be fully resolved:

You must walk feminine
Talk feminine
Smile and beguile feminine
Utilize your femininity
That's what every girl should know, if she wants to catch a beau

Dance feminine
Glance feminine
Act shy and sigh feminine
Compliment his masculinity
That's what every girl should know, if she wants to catch a beau

Let him do the talking
Med adore good listeners
Laugh, but not too loudly (Haha)
If he should choose to tell a joke
Be radiant, but delicate
Memorize the rules of etiquette
Be demure, sweet and pure
Hide the real you!

You must look feminine
Dress feminine
You're at your best feminine
Emphasize your femininity
That's what every girl should know
Femininity, femininity
That's the way to catch a beau

ARGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
