Once you describe “feminine” as “nurturing, compassionate, cooperative and socially-conscious” and define feminism as a movement to protect all things feminine, I think you have gone far beyond what most people mean by either word.
As Eugine_Nier just stated, it isn’t the feminists who want to place “nurturing, compassionate, cooperative and socially-conscious” solely within the label “feminine.”
If we could stop labeling virtues by sex, that would be a definite improvement.
Actually “nurturing, compassionate, cooperative and socially-conscious” is pretty close to the definition of “feminine” traditionalists use when arguing in favor of separate spheres for men and women.
In other words, traditionalists deny men the right/obligation to be nurturing, compassionate, cooperative and socially-conscious—exactly like feminists always say. Lol.
