Regardless of gender. I also have no problem recognizing the differences between masculinity or femininity. but these are just social constructs, they're ideas of how men or women should be and I think they're a load of cow crap to be honest. There's nothing about being soft and gentle and nuturing that's inherently womanly. There's nothing about being strong and whatever other "masculine" things there are that's inherently manly. People are different and genders aren't special. That's my opinion of course.
Yeah I know mine is not a popular opinion to have around here lol. But then again, most aren't.
Meh it's not something we need to agree on, not for friendship sake for sure. I think your opinion must be more popular than mine otherwise those stereotypes (for lack of better term) wouldn't exist. A good thing, I think, though is that people seem to be growing more and more accepting of letting others be who they are instead of trying to force them into a specific gender box.
