Do The Blurred Gender Lines Of Today Not Bother You?

[mrkennedy]

Sirius ended this. Check page 2 like Boys Noize suggested

Nope, I have bigger things to be affected by. And growing up in MN, you learn how to catch and clean your own fish, game, whatever. It's not a man thing,it's a growing up in the middle of nowhere thing

we were taught how to swim by being tossed (or falling) into a lake. That being said, if I was goingto have children I'd want a son. Boys are more fun than girls.

SIRIUS LEE HANDSOME shut it down on the second page and I like how OP didn't even respond to him.

'Cause OP doesn't ever want to "converse" with anyone who legitimately views things different. I noticed this tendency on his part andactually called him out, earlier in this thread, about it and as expected, dude has yet to respond...

Showing him how to NOT wear skinny jeans or let females dominate him and his cell phone or his # of visits to NT. Showing the young dude how to shave, change oil, fish, or any other MAN activity. Man that is the TRUE blessing in having a boy child.

i agree with you 100%
at least i share the same views with one person on this site.

Word

I'll cosign.

I don't even know a lotta black dudes who know how to fish or change oil...I know of one

I'm black and can do both. But then again i'm from maryland and fishing/crabbing is big here...oil changing is enjoyable to me, aside from saving money, the sense of accomplishment is a nice boost.

Just had a son in july and i'm soo siced, but i actually want a girl as well.

you are NOT the norm, unfortunately

I'm not clear on what you mean by this. Do you mean men are wearing skirts and carrying purses nowadays or some other article of clothing that YOU deem as feminine? Trends in fashion come and go. There was a time in the 70's for instance where certain fashions were looked at as blurring the lines of gender, but that passed and even though there are such trends in fashion there are also others that remain very "traditional." There are no absolutes especially with things that change and/or evolve such as clothing. If that was the case you'd be wearing nothing, but a suit, tie and fedora like people did more than half a century ago or thigh high stockings, powdered wigs and sequined velvets outfits like they did 500 years ago, but I doubt you'd be caught dead in either of those.

• Women becoming more and more dominant in relationships as time goes on

Dominant as in having more of a say in matters that affect both people in the relationship instead of keeping quiet and doing as told? With advanced responsibilities in society and many women taking on more roles not only in their own homes and relationships, but in their respective professions they have not only gained more liberties to have more of a say in things, but they've also earned it.

• Men/Women not embracing traditional gender related skills of men/women (handymanship, cooking, cleaning)

If people were to obey traditional roles (not only gender related roles such as the trivial ones you mentioned), there would still be a lot of people in bondage. I think it's time for you to accept that these notions of yours are not only outdated, but extremely sexist and that you shouldn't hold these as a badge of honor, but rather a burden of your left back chauvinist mentality that most people in this society have managed to get past.

• Homosexuality is more accepted than ever (not calling any homosexual person a bad person)

You may not be calling any homosexual person a "bad person," but you are nonetheless making a negative judgment about a person's identity by insinuating that homosexuality bothers you because it is one of the things responsible for the breakdown in YOUR views on gender without so much as taking into account the majority of gay people who don't fit into the stereotypical roles that you seem to hold about them.

It just seems that that gender racial identification is no longer a priority to us. I thought when a person is first identified, that their sex race was the most important thing. When someone's sex race is identified, at one point, we could sorta assume the skill set that they possesed.

You're no different than the common bigot everyone rallies against when similar comments are flung at people of color.

QFT

I know its been 7 pages but I just want to requote this for being such a well thought out reply.

I agree with every response he said.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting a gay son and not wanting only daughters.


I'm have about the most progressive views and im a huge gay rights supporters. But some of ya'll are reaching very hard knocking somebody for notwanting a daughter or gay son.

Some people want a son you can play basketball with and do stereotypical male stuff that they did growing up. There's nothing wrong with that...although Idid find A LOT wrong with DC's Original Post.

but to answer your question, it doesn't really bother me...because as cliche as it sounds, "I do me."

Well said, sir

Til ya son turn out like

Two snaps and a twist

The only thing that really bothers me is the clothing. I can't see how u a grown man wearin pants so tight u can't pull em all the way up. I thought wewas off saggin.

As far as women bein more dominant. In many African cultures, the mother is the head of household, she is the cornerstone so that doesn't bother. We asAmerican are too hung up in societal roles and conforming to social norms when the norms aren't even described clearly

You just said girls can so whatever boys can, but want a son over a daughter.

Don't you have a step daughter? Ever tell her shes not as good as aboy?

Evolution is an amazing thing. We might not be exactly the same as the next mammal, reptile, etc., but we will evolve and and change through out thegenerations like the rest of them. The genetic material we consist of is forever changing - yet we are the ones getting freaked out when all around us, thereare so many different types of species with varieties within them. Funny how we don't make a big deal out of that, but we can make a big deal out of aunisex gender and/or "third gender".

To me, it's not that serious. Change is beautiful. Let it do it's thang.

Girls can do whatever boys can do, well the ability is there but that doesn't mean they will. Yes, I have an insta-kid

and I never said girls are "not as good" as boys, but in general theyare a lot more fun in regards to the acitivities I enjoy, as children, from what little I have experienced. I'm not a moron, I'd never say anythinglike that to a boy or girl

Kids are impressionable, you can't justsay what you want when you want around them. I'm just speaking hypothetically if I were to have BIOLOGICAL children of my own, I'd want a boy. Ithink most women want a little girl, but that's ok too.

 

[stepheezy]

^ Yee, i know not everyone agrees with that, but it's just my thoughts on the topic. Idk why some people see the "gender roles being switched" athreat.

So if you gained another insta-kid and it was a boy or had your own son, would you treat your step daughter and step son or son equally?
