Most people think this means something girly. BUT, if you dress like a boy, you're not feminine, you're masculine. You're not feminine just because you're a girl. You're feminine because you dress like a girl.

"Feminine" behavior would be the behavior that the culture one lives in standardized as "feminine". For example, playing with Barbie or watching romantic movies is what American culture would consider to be a "feminine trait", thus you have feminine trait if you live in America.
Of course, being feminine does not merely pertains to one's behavior, it is also including one's looks. For example, a female body builder would not be considered feminine in America (or anywhere in the world for that matter; try the Andromeda galaxy, ladies). Another example would be a male that sways his hips when he walks; that would be considered feminine in America (and most of the world also).
Once again, "femininity" is not merely limited to looks and behavior. Various other factors include clothing, personal belongings, sexual orientation, etc.

The female gender role. Not all of them are exactly like this, but most are.
It is, in a way, built to fit the male gender role, masculinity.
Feminine traits include but are not limited to: understanding, empathetic, sensitive, submissive, gentle, modest, willowy, and pretty.

Look at any female around you and observe how they act. They're feminine. Most females 14+ act like this.

Feminine means "What pertains to a woman". There are no qualifications. Whatever a woman does is feminine, because they are a woman, and they are doing something that pertains to them.
The only thing that can really be called "feminine" are ovaries.
