I found this question and the responding postings interesting as well.
My response (which you did not note above) answered what I *thought*
was the real question:  What makes me feel feminine and what makes
me feel masculine.  I am surprised to discover that the interpretation
others placed on the question excluded one side of the issue.

After all, we have both masculine and feminine sides, don't we?  We all
feel both masculine at times and feminine at times, don't we?  I'm curious
why the men answered only about feeling masculine, and the women only about
feeling feminine, but no one else answered about feeling both, until Jamie
brought up the subject with his posting (filled with some vague sense of
disquiet about feeling feminine at times).
