Have you heard the term femme fatale? Before you feel bad about being one, we explain EVERYTHING you need to know and the true connotation it has.

Sadly, when we talk about a woman who is not submissive and instead is strong and decisive, we classify her as a ‘rebellious’ woman who is not good, who is proud or, in the worst case scenario, who ‘believes herself too much’ as ​​it is colloquially said.

It’s time to put a stop to these false ideas, stop judging the bravery of being ourselves!

What is a Femme Fatale?

The term ‘Femme Fatale’ in French means ‘femme fatale’ in Spanish. A concept that is used to describe a woman who takes advantage of her attributes to achieve her goals.

Eye! With ‘attributes’ we are not exclusively talking about physical appearances, but also about how she uses her intelligence and confidence to captivate those around her.

Although this concept is not new, for years, a negative connotation has been given to a woman with this profile. We are talking about iconic characters like ‘Rubí’ or ‘Teresa’ who have been villainous roles, built under this idea of ​​the ‘Femme Fatale’.

Normally, a ‘Femme Fatale’ is represented as someone evil, unscrupulous, who seeks to seduce men. However, beyond attacking a woman for being decisive, you have to know that there is nothing wrong with wanting to take charge of your life.

We are not talking about stepping over others and forgetting our values. Being a ‘Femme Fatale’ in 2023 is loving yourself, being passionate about your dreams and giving yourself the place you deserve, whether in a relationship or a friendship.

How to be a Femme Fatale?

Don’t be afraid to make your own decisions

Regardless of what your partner, friends, or family think, you have to be the only one who decides about your future. You have to be aware that you are the owner of your life and there is no better person than you to decide what you have to study, where you want to work, how many male friends you have or what clothes look best on you.

Set limits

This rule applies to EVERYTHING. You cannot and should not let anyone disrespect you, and this includes underestimating your intelligence.
