Okonkwo's thinking and compression about femininity and the way he interacts and lives with women is not much different, as he has a strong opinion about it and believes that women should act in the way his concepts were settled down. In the same way, he believes that femininity is what he has established in his thinking and believes that it is right.

For Okonkwo, femininity imposes that those who have it are weak, inferior, childish, emotional, unable to be independent and mentally inefficient. Women are the greatest holders of femininity, so for Okonkwo all women (and men with characteristics that he considered female) should live in a submissive way and do what men, full of masculinity, believed that should be done.
