Doing gender well and differently is a conceptual lens that recognizes the fluid, contradictory and indefinite nature of doing gender. Women do gender well through expressions of femininity, while they simultaneously do gender differently by performing alternative expressions of femininity or masculinity. When a woman or man is doing gender well there is congruence and balance between perceived sex category and gender behaviour, and femininity (or masculinity) is validated. Women (or men) do gender differently through simultaneous, multiple enactments of femininity and masculinity.
