I’ll check my toxic masculinity on the person who called me woman....yeah that’s a thing now... and the guy who said to shut the utilities - man this crazy person knows the system and called the health department on me because the tenant who is responsible for the utilities didn’t pay the bill.

I would highly recommend to have female input in interior designs; wife's often make the final call about making an offer and I have seen guys build houses that are way to masculine in design - dark tile bathroom or kitchn etc.. 

Initially, my masculinity/bravado balked at the idea of taking an interior design class; but then, I said huh?

But, if you are referring to a group of lessors, the default word to use is always the masculine version. 

I know there are some traits in me that fall more on the masculine side and some that fall more on the feminin. 

I've been waiting 50 years to meet another Merritt and most of them that are out there are girls, not guys (Merritt is actually the masculine, Mera is the feminine, it's Irish or Welsh).So, on the subject of image.

., I would feel comfortable going to meetups, and I feel that in some ways, being a woman is an asset because *some* men find it intriguing/refreshing to see women appear in a heavily male-dominated industry, so are more inclined to chat and help - with or without ulterior motives is another story.But what I do find concerning is the stigma that sometimes comes with a female investor... because real estate investment is looked at as a "masculine" activity which is perceived as unconventional for women to dabble.

They look tough and so appeal to people who want that look, for personal security or for masculinity or whatever, but are rarely aggressive, especially toward family.

I personally love the remodel but it's a bit on the masculine/dark side which is why I love it. 

@Laura VerderberI am aggressive in business and highly masculine in thinking.
