I'm a female and I don't necessary think like most females out there. As a female there is a lower expectation of you in the work place and when you don't know something, others just nod their head in a condescending was like "aww it's okay, no worries." I used to hate having my period but now I've come to accept it and just live with it. Since I'm gay, I don't have to worry about birth control pills. I see my friend's set up alarms on their phone, just so they don't miss eating their pills. To me, that seem kind of tiring to do to daily. Also, I don't own hundreds of bags, I just own two backpacks, one for my laptop another for random stuff. So, I save quite a bit of money from not spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on bags that I don't use daily, so that's a good thing, my bank ain't empty hahaha
[Enter comment about random erections being annoying in a drunken voice, this is it. Wow. Errrrrrrr] Wooh! Gender nonconformance! I'm like weird and write and don't mind being feminine sometimes but I'm just me and that's cool so yeah! *Awkward silence*
I can't lie, I really enjoy being a guy. Putting aside the fact that, biologically, socioculturally and historically, women get the short end of the stick, a friend once described the positive aspects of being a guy as 'a bit like being a big daft labrador'. Which pretty much sums it up, for me. But then, I'm a massive dog person, so I'm predisposed to like that idea!
"sit like a girl" "stop laughing like a boy" "you're gonna get a good husband one day" "that's so unladylike" "honey" "sweetie" "love" "sweetheart" "baby girl" also me: -in the middle of class- me: -gets a feeling- me: shit my period just started me: -forgets pad- me: -uses 50ft of toilet paper- me: -tries to wash blood out of underwear- underwear: nah fuck you me: -goes to sleep- blanket: stop bleeding on me me: -exercises- pad: ahaha aha aha ahdhahaha me: -walks- pad: ahahahhahhaahah ahaba aha asasajaj me: -sits- pad: haha aha ah aha a a a aha aagggj me: -breathes- pad: jdhfkjasdhfksdfsjdbf asdasjfahf sgdfhjdkghdkkdkf fff fgghk others: i hate cramps me: what do cramps feel like
Biologically it's great but socially I sometimes struggle with the weird "male expectations" that are thrown upon me like it being deemed "wrong" to show emotion, like art, listen to music that isn't Oasis or Wiz Khalifa related and hate beer. I'm often told that I "need to be more of a man" because I seem to do things that go against the macho stereotype (Like the other day some people I know explained to me that the way I shake hands with people is "unmanly" because I don't grip people's hands like some sort of maniac) but in reality I suppose "expectations" are present in any gender in any society. I hope that made some sense and didn't sound like what it is: Me rambling on about genders at 2:21 in the morning
[me holding a tampon] what the fuck ---------- Post added 10th Sep 2014 at 04:50 PM ---------- yet despite everything biologically and socially, somehow
this is also accurate even if i never held one before because those things are uh odd and i dont have a need for them anyway team pad ftw who's with me
My dad told me that the other day. He didn't say I had shake other people's hand with a stronger grip because I'm a man though. I don't really get hand shakers. Anyway, I like having a penis. There's so much opportunity for entertainment while peeing. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
Being a woman is at times both very fulfilling and very frustrating.. I am a rather passionate yet also emotional woman and everything effects me, good and bad.. Some things are a lot harder for us women and we need the strength to be able to deal with a lot of different things.. I wouldn't change it for the world though.. What I have been through in my 29 years has made me into the woman I am today.
