It's quite likely that you simply were not playing out some sort of stereotypical presumed femininity.

My advice on playing any character is to avoid all thoughts of "what would an X do?", and instead concentrate entirely on "what would this character do?"

The blanket differences in psychological tendencies between the human physical genders absolutely pale in comparison to the differences between human individuals irrespective of gender. There is no accurate "women do this" or "men think this" that can be RPed in a way that's not at its core a silly caricature.
