its a cadence that happens in the middle of a phrase or bar, on a week beat, usually on the second beat.

In a "feminine" cadence, the resolution occurs on a weak beat of the bar. So in, say, a perfect cadence of dominant-tonic, the dominant chord, which is preparatory, occupies the strong beat, and the resolving chord (the tonic) lands on a weak beat.
The label "feminine" comes from a time when the female sex was seen as weaker than the male. Not very politically correct...

Is it simply because it falls on a 'weak' beat rather than a strong or masculine one? Everything has a place though
