di·vulge (d-vlj)
tr.v. di·vulged, di·vulg·ing, di·vulg·es
1. To make known (something private or secret).
2. Archaic To proclaim publicly.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : I can't help thinking this might be better for a transvestite; 'divulge' somehow seems to have connotations of 'revealing a secret', which I hope would not be the case with these ladies. / As an ENS, I didn't actually need to look it up
1 min
Oh Tony, have you looked up the meaning of divulge? Also, when a woman undresses, isn't she 'revealing a secret'...?
neutral liz askew : I completely agree with Tony "divulge" is not appropriate here at all.

Well, as a native speaker, I believe that it does. Difference of opinions...

Flaunt your feminity

.........
Peer comment(s):
agree Tony M : Could be going a little too far, but after all, who was it that famously said "If you've got it, flaunt it!"?
1 min
Thanks Tony...
agree Christopher Fitzsimons : I quite like this suggestion. Depends on the sort of brand/target audience whether "flaunt" would be appropriate though.

Thanks Christopher

Reveal your feminine side

Just another suggestion.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : But since we are (presumably!) talking about ladies in the first place, i'm not sure this would really be quite apt; were it being addressed to guys, then it would be a whole different kettle of fish, of course!
13 mins
Ha ha!
disagree liz askew : I would hope that this is what women have anyway.

Actually, I am the kind of people who parade around without my clothes on — oh dear, I think I just divulged something previously unknown!

Peer comments on this reference comment:
agree writeaway : yup and it's completely off the mark here. makes no sense at all.
3 mins
Thanks, W/A! Now when I divulge my femininity, that's a whole other story ;-)
neutral Stéphanie Denton (X) : Disagree with it being off the mark: Underwear is a private thing. Unless you are the kind of people who parade around without your clothes on.
7 mins
How can you possibly 'disagree' with a dictionary definition materially identical to the one you yourself have just quoted?!
agree Yvonne Gallagher : God, you really are in a divulging mood tonight!:-)
4 hrs
Thanks, Gallagy! Yup, that's me... I like to let my femininity (?!) shine forth
