Feminization refers to the process through which certain traits, roles, or characteristics traditionally associated with women become more prominent or accepted in various contexts. This can occur in social, cultural, or economic spheres, where activities or professions that were once male-dominated begin to include or emphasize feminine qualities. In the workplace, feminization may involve increasing the representation of women in leadership roles or promoting policies that support work-life balance. Additionally, in the context of gender studies, feminization can also relate to the shifting perceptions of masculinity and the acceptance of emotional expression among men, challenging traditional gender norms.
