I don't see the ring as feminine. When Galadriel would have accepted the ring, she'd become a 'Dark Queen', beautiful, but not more feminine.

Great power, which comes with the ring, makes lonely, because the power of the ring cannot be shared (as Gandalf points out to Saruman). The heart is filled with the lust for power and the paranoia of losing it.

The ring symbolises the 'easy way out', not unlike the Force in Star-Wars (don't flame me for this remark please), with of course the difference that there exists something liek a truly good Jedi.
