The Gender Gap

Who else here is as put off by the gender gap as I am?
There's been alot of improvements in the new centery thus far, but that gap is still a bloody canyon. Me and a few friends of mine have discussed about how society asigns gender roles to everyone as early as birth with the pink blankets for girls and the blue blankets for boys. Wtf is this? Then, as kids, girls and boys are inforced to look, feel, and act a certain way, and be interested in certain toys and cartoons all based on gender. This is some stupid nonsense.

As kids grow up, they learn what it is to be a man, and what it is to be a woman. A man is a tough, strong, macho machine that never cries; and a woman is a maternal, danty, prissy, pansy-pickin' princess. This is such utter ********. Further more, males and females are given strict wardrobes. If a guy wears a dress, people call him a *** and what not. I don't see what the problem is. Hell, 5000 years ago everyone was wearing a damn dress. And here's what pisses me off... A woman wears masculine clothing and all of a sudden people call her a dyke. Nice. Clothes don't make the person. They're ment to cover up ourselves and also allows us to be creative and define our character.

Moving right along... We have gender roles. Why the **** do we still have gender roles? Honestly. We still have the ever so popular damsel in distress who gets saved by the knight in shining armour. Give me a ****ing break. She's too much of a pussy to do anything herself? Please...
Then we have these insulting beer commercials and rap music videos that depict women as mere sex objects and "goods" ready to be used. And lets not forget all the wonderful derogatory terms used by gangstas and "thugs" to refere to females. Bitches, hoes, and ****s among the degrading terms.
And while we're on offensive descriptions, it pisses the bloody hell out of me that when a woman disagrees, opposes, and speaks out against something, men get all flustered and feel the need to attack the woman verbaly... Usually calling her a bitch. See, this is a problem. Men are taught to believe that women are supposed to simply nod their heads and smile to every ****ing thing. And if she shows some sign of "rebelionism" and non-conformance to what a man has to say, all of a sudden there's a ****ing problem with her.

Let's just stop with the women part right there because I have enough to keep this going all night. Let's move onto the men.
Why oh why oh why does this stupid-ass infixation that men should not cry and should not show any weakness of any kind still exists? And the whole thing about men being intouch with their feelings is a big no-no for some ****ed up reason. It's like men are not allowed to be human. Well then, what does that make them? Bloody machines? Ridiculous.

It's a big, big problem. males are encouraged to be masculine, and females are encouraged to be feminine. And if either one shows signs of the opposite, they get looked down upon by many and even humiliated. This should not happen.
If men and women could just let themselves and others be both masculine and feminine, we'd all be able to understand each other and get along so much better.

Yin Yang, people.
Let's eliminate the gender gap.
