Corny as it sounds, vulnerability is part of the Feminine's innate strength. Though, true, authentic vulnerability is very different from learned helplessness. And even those who manage to attempt to integrate and embody their feminine vulnerability are either silenced, taken advantage of or preyed on. Feminine virtue isn't respected by patriarchy or exploitative economic and religious systems, or even recognized when possessed. Self-sacrifice is also much more commonly a feminine virtue than masculine. Masculines usually display its shadow aspect if anything, through masochism, ignoble martyrdom without results, disingenuous and emotionally manipulative self-flagellation, and victim complexes.
