See the thing is that performing femininity DOES empower women. Most women are very aware that they are treated better when they wear makeup and dress femininely. But no man is afraid of eyeliner “sharp enough to kill a man”. No woman ever got a job over a man because she was wearing heels and he wasn’t. But women have lost opportunities and been treated like shit for not doing those things.

Female empowerment through performing femininity does not give women power over men. It gives women power over other women. That fucking sucks.
