“be more lady like” ” men don’t cry, act like a man” every one has grown up hearing this…whats that say about our society? many of these stereotypes are engraved into our thoughts we dont think much of it….its every day life so we dont question these thoughts.as we get older , our culture influences these images and most of us dont even realize it. even if we don’t consciously subscribe to these thoughts, our culture ambushes us with messages on what it is to be a man or women and what is expected of us. men dont cry? who said this we all have a range of emotions that run through us faster then we can control. men are not born angry and agressive and girls not prim and proper…we learn these thing as we grow from our culture and every one around us. this is not to say that guys shouldn’t be tough or like cars and sports or that girls shouldnt know how to clean and cook…. but we live in a equal world where girls can play aggressive sports and like cars just as men can love to cook or dance or clean.
it was once said:
WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT THE LIMITS OF STEREOTYPES. WE HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE WHAT MAKES SENSE FOR US.
no one is stopping you from being who you are but you you are doesn’t have to conform to the likes of the stereotypes our culture has subjected us to
