Anyway, I've voted for option D (Depends on the woman and situation). Two examples:



To me, Cameron Díaz was disappointing, tacky and coarse. On the contrary, in my eyes Brittany Murphy didn't lose a bit of her feminity. I think she was as delightful as always , and in fact I loved to see she had that sense of humor. I guess it's a matter of personal tastes.

I don't really understand how women can lose their "femininity" by being funny? I mean, if they're genuinely funny, I don't think "Oh god, she's so funny, it's too bad it makes her look sooooo much less like a woman", I think "Goddamn, this bitch is funny". I don't really see what you're saying here. I guess if you're watching someone like Chelsea Handler, I can understand that statement, mainly because she is not funny and she degrades herself for laughs. That's tacky.
