Femininity And Masculinity Are Craps!

Femininity and Masculinity are pure crap How did I get to this conclusion? I’ll tell you. Ask any man or woman you know what it means to be feminine and masculine and then take a look at the world and check how many people, both men and women, actually correspond their description. I’ll tell you: very few. This is because when we define we list all the merits and never a defect. How many women in this world are actually always polite, respectful, submissive, dedicated to their home, children and family, well mannered, sweet, romantic, emotional, faithful etc…? How many men are always fearless, brave, bold, hardworking, provider of their homes, a symbol of protection, strong, resolute, never victims of emotions, rational, etc…? People still fail to realize that saying a woman should be feminine and a man should be masculine is like asking someone to give up her/himself to fit a stereotype of the perfect woman and man. What if a woman is not gentle nor polite? Does that mean she is not a woman? Instead if she is strong and resolute does that mean she is a man? What if a man is not brave and bold, does that mean he is no longer a man? Instead if he is emotional and respectful does that mean he is now a woman? Let’s be rational for once, men and women. Look around you. Haven’t you seen some women are eager to violence just like some men? Can’t you see some men actually prefer to use manners and not authority to solve issues? Not all girls like to play with barbies and baby dolls. Some like to play with Spiderman, or build a city with Lego or have a collection of game cards like Yugi Oh!, Pokémon, Digimon. They watch cartoons like Bay Blade, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dragon Ball, Naruto and hate cartoons like Sailormoon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Winx, Witch Club. Simply because these last ones are more focused on emotions than on the use or logic. The main characters are girls who are constantly depending on men to get out of danger. In every episode of Sailor Moon, her boyfriend always comes to rescue her. This also happens in Winx and Tokyo Mew Mew. Now that things are changing why are we still trying to enslave girls with the idea that they can’t survive without the protection of a man? Then check the cartoons made for the boys. Women are always their weak point. How many times did Spiderman have to save Mary Jane? Or Superman had to save Louis, or Batman had to save the woman next door? Why are trying to enslave the boys with the idea that their duty is to protect women even at the expense of their life? What if a girl doesn’t like to be protected, isn’t she a woman anymore? What if a boy isn’t strong enough to protect a woman or he is too selfish to do that isn’t he a man anymore? Even before we were born we are given roles to play as if this life was a movie and we the actors. We are in a Plautus’s comedy where only fixed masks exist. There are no variations. It’s always the same old story, with the same characters and inevitably with the same end. Right from children there is the trend of trying to model a girl or a boy to fit into the category of feminine and masculine. Just by watching TV you can see the distinction of toy adverts made for the girls and those made for the boys. They use the guys to advertise the heroes and the girls for the little cutie dollies. How sad! I used to watch Sailormoon, Tokyo Mew Mew and other craps like that but today I am ashamed of myself for wasting my time with such shits. I fell victim of my emotions, allowed myself to be played by my enemies a lot of times. However I have grown stronger and unlike the female characters of those cartoons, I am not going to fall back so easily. This is not only my story. This is the story of boys and girls around the world who feel useless and unfit to live because they are not feminine and masculine. Even if I am not polite or submissive or emotional, I am still a woman and no one can change that. And even if you are not strong and resolute, you are still a man and nothing changes that. We have to be who we are and not interpret roles of what we are supposed to be. We are the architects of our life and selves. No one should do that for us.
