And kudos to...VeganJoyJoy, you said it all so well! And kudos to you for speaking up. If someone find the "traditional" gender roles suit them, then great; they should be able to be themselves, AND so should people who are different than that.Full Marriage Equalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029782688617414753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152584185487706890.post-57650576740209894572011-09-07T18:10:27.260-07:002011-09-07T18:10:27.260-07:00I'm glad more open mindedness is coming about....I'm glad more open mindedness is coming about. :D<br /><br />Yeah, I think it's just like people are 'influenced' to think that way. I think religion is a major player in people's revulsion, lol probably even if the people are atheist xD <br /><br />That's why we all have to spread the message of tolerance! <br /><br />*sigh* also people are afraid of individuality, or true individuality in any case. Any non-conformity is like a threat to order and stability...yeah right...is the kind of order, where people walk around feeling depressed, barely able to make ends meet, a great 'order' to withkeep? <br /><br />People also I imagine LIKE to keep biases and prejudices because it makes them feel like they are BETTER than someone else, so obviously when they are challenged on their bigotry, they get defensive and act like YOU are the problem. I don't get why people need to feel 'better' than someone in order to feel 'unique' and special in their own way.<br /><br />On a positive note, I have gotten better at speaking up. I spoke up(lol several times in one of my classes) when we were talking about 'gender roles.' Someone mentioned that guys are supposed to be polite and kind, and that girls were supposed to be 'lady-like'...ohhh I challenged them...yesh I did, politely anyway xD I made the argument that if a girl wants to act like a boy, then she can. And my teacher elaborated on that from there. It gets easier over time to speak up, but it can still be hard with certain topics like incest >.> I wouldn't just randomly bring it up...hmmmmmm but maybe I should 0.0 ohhhh I can just see that.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm but hey! Maybe that's a good thing because if we can openly talk about it and we are not in one of those relationships...they can't send us to jail! or deny our free speech o.o! .....I can see this getting VERY intersting...VeganJoyJoynoreply@blogger.com
