womanish
Womanish refers to characteristics that are traditionally or stereotypically associated with women or femininity. It is often used in a derogatory manner to suggest that these traits are appearing in an inappropriate or unmanly context, like a man or boy displaying such traits. However, it can also be used more neutrally just to refer to something being like a woman or feminine.
Webster Dictionary
Womanishadjective
suitable to a woman, having the qualities of a woman; effeminate; not becoming a man; -- usually in a reproachful sense. See the Note under Effeminate
