It is the acceptance of not identifying with your father (the phallic) or his authority and power: or, it pretends to accept castration by disguising itself with the feminine masquerade. In this way, femininity constitutively seems more ironic than masculinity. When we give masculine traits up, it"s a lot deeper. However, in joan rivere"s thinking, it"s more of a disguise.
