I think I know what you mean about retaining a bit of the so-called "feminine" side, and I appreciate your comment. For example, having a sense of humor and being able to meme - little things like that which contribute to making someone a normal, likeable person.. as opposed to being that stereotypical, stoic, stone faced, coal mining, whiskey-drinking type man.
Clark Kent being the "nerd", but being a nerd is a wonderful thing and indeed makes Superman look dull and boring. I wouldn't even consider these things "feminine", we just kind of lack the vocabulary to talk about it accurately I guess.
What my mother did on the other hand, I don't think made me a more interesting person in any way - the opposite in fact, just sort of made me her personal doll.
