So did Atheism + bite the dust?

[Dystopia]

I wasn't sure whether to be offended or impressed, so I just lol'd

I wasn't trying to offend you

I fit a pretty general stereotype of a woman's gender role. I am quiet and polite. I almost never swear (though I having been swearing more often it's like all you heathens are rubbing off on me). I love to do housework and cook. I will mother hen anyone who seems even remotely in need of it. I feel most comfortable when I'm doing what I'm asked and avoiding conflict. I won't take a picture with bad hair and I really like to look pretty in a modest classy way.
In general, I won't talk to people about sex. If it's brought up, after recovering from near death by blushing, I will change the subject and pretend it was never brought up. There's an inner slut that burns inside of me, but it almost never sees light outside of Internet forums and intimately close friends. It's easy to show you guys all the parts of me that I usually hide. In person, you would probably think me a prude.

There's nothing wrong with that as long as it's who you are. The problem is when girls are taught directly or indirectly/subtly that they have certain standards to meet and end up behaving a certain way because of that. This is something that makes people's lives much harder than we might think - Let's just look at how women are supposed to be docile and passive - This can look fine, but if we apply it to jobs and a male dominated field where strong asserting behaviour and frequent wage negotiations are needed, chances are the man is better fit in the gender role spectrum to deal with it and the woman is less - Which leads to disadvantages. My point - If you enjoy being like that, it's a valid choice.

I fit some male stereotypes as well - I dress in masculine clothes, mostly dark coloured (too dark coloured in fact), I have an occasional unshaven beard, I have short hair and my physical behaviour in my daily life is masculine - The way I generally act resembles confidence, strength, prudence and sometimes aggressiveness. I am, to an extent, hyper-sexual, I love bringing my wild masculine side in bed and being rough (though I have sexual desires that are not masculine and are frowned upon), I generally like things that are accepted for men to love - Technology, computers, videogames; I am also in a college degree that is composed mostly by females but on the other side most higher level positions are occupied by men, so men get the bigger part.

But I also have a more feminine side - I enjoy art, namely music and cinema, to the point it makes me drop a tear on occasion; I like going to museums; I like being sensitive to people and feeling other people's pain (and expressing it); sometimes I like going to clothes shop and check clothes for me (I love men's shoes, damn I have pretty shoes!); I generally don't like the way men are supposed to behave (manning up and competing between each other, pressure to be a part of the boys club, etc.); I don't like sports, etc.

When looking for a partner I don't mind feminine traits, but I like some masculine traits on girls, for example aggressiveness, independence and a considerable amount of cultural knowledge (discussions of politics and other issues are still more associated with men than with women) --> I also have a weird fetish for girls dressed in black, but that's because I'm a weirdo

That being said, you're right, I hate when people try to enforce their ideas of how a certain gender should behave onto other people. If you tell me you're a man I will accept that, if you tell me you're a woman I will accept that, as well as genderfluid or a variety of other options. I won't look at you or how you behave and proceed to tell you who you are.

Trans* identities are one of the most important social issues in society. In my opinion, trans* people are the most discriminated against group next to poor people. I identify as a male and I'm comfortable as such, but that's just me.

And somehow I feel like I'm no longer discussing whatever this thread was supposed to be about at all.

As if that never happened in AF. Derailing rules in AF are the most benevolent laws I've ever seen.
