Notes on gender

I don't give a crap about gender roles. I am not an ordinary woman. And I don't want ordinary people around me.

Sentences starting like "real men would do this and that" irritates me. They say men don't cry, they say men don't show his emotions and feelings, they say men should contain himself, they say men must be jealous, they say men must protect his woman and look after his woman. What a bullshite! Men should cry, he is a human being after all. Men should be able to show his emotions and feelings, after all emotions are awesome and this is what makes you a whole human being. Men mustn't be jealous - jealousy is a sign of a sick mind and insecurity. Men don't have to protect and look after his woman, because his (I just love this possessive pronoun "his" here like someone belongs to someone) woman should be able to take care of herself because she is one strong person and can stand on her feet by herself.

Equally, sentences saying "women are like this and that" annoys me. They say women are like flowers don't hurt them". We are not fragile, we are extremely strong and our threshold for pain is quite a something.

I have  so much to say about this. But not now.
