A man insults another man by telling him; "Stop behaving like a girl!" This remark highlights the fact that men regard being female as a weakness, a failing, inferior.
Women involved with feminism and femdom regard being female as a good thing. We are not weak. Being a woman is not a failing. Being feminine is our power, not an insult to our sex.

"Very well," said Wanda, contracting her
small but strongly arched
brows, "it seems to me it would be rather entertaining
to have a man,
who interests me and loves me, completely in my
power; at least I
shall not lack pastime. You were imprudent enough
to leave the choice
to me. Therefore I choose; I want you to be my
slave, I shall make
a plaything for myself out of you!"

"Don't you know me yet? Yes, I am _cruel_--since you take so much
delight in that word-and am I not entitled to be so? Man is the one
who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman's entire but
decisive advantage. Through his passion nature has given man into
woman's hands, and the woman who does not know how to make him her
subject, her slave, her toy, and how to betray him with a smile in the
end is not wise."
