Why is it feminine?
Mulher descends from Latin "mulier," which was grammatically feminine. The feminine gender was inherited directly from Latin where "mulier" was a feminine noun, and this grammatical gender persisted through the evolution of Portuguese. The semantic connection to concepts of softness or mildness is not a reliable explanation for why this specific word is feminine in Portuguese—it is feminine because Latin "mulier" was feminine, and Portuguese maintained this gender assignment.
