I find it very interesting when someone's like, "You define a man by X, Y, and Z."
But the truth is, there are many types of men out in the whole universe.
There are men who love sewing, cooking, crocheting, gardening, etc.
There are men who do sports, know how to build things,
repair items, and whatnot.
There are other men who love to paint, sketch, draw, giggle, watch chick flicks, and the like.
There are men who love action films, cars, and music.
I don't feel that there is one definition out there to define a man and I believe a variety is best.
Just because a man does something that society sees as "feminine" doesn't make him any less of a man in my opinion.
So what if he doesn't know a lick about sports, yet knows multiple cooking techniques?
What if a guy has a high pitch voice? Does it make him less of a man?
I don't believe that at all, and I think it's about time people saw men in a different light.
Society needs to also work on how they look at women too.
Just because a woman might like sports, lifting weights, and/or building things doesn't make her less of a woman.
I don't like it when I hear some people say, "Oh because so and so does this, he or she must be gay."
Being gay isn't a bad thing and I don't know why people get so offended by it.
There's a variety of people in this world: men and women.
Shoving people in boxes or
closets isn't cool. Boxes and closets are for clothes and such, not people.
And if you don't agree with me, that's perfectly fine!
This is just my opinion on the matter.
I find it interesting how some people try to define what a man and woman are.
Like there's just ONE definition, but the truth is that there isn't.
There's a variety of people and each like their own thing.
Some men might like cooking while others like sports.
Some women might like sports while others like gardening.
The point is that trying to define what a man and woman are just by using stereotypes is idiotic.
"You're a man and you don't like sports then you must not be a real man!"
OR
"You're a woman and you love sports then you must not be a real woman!"
As ridiculous as those two statements above are, yes they're stereotypical, and no I don't encourage stereotypes.
The point is: How do you define a "real man" or "real woman"?
Is it by their character, what's in between their legs, or the way they think?
I believe it's their character because there are a variety of men and women in the world.
Each one of them is a man and woman to me.
So what if they don't follow every damn stereotype in the book to define a man or woman?
Each to their own, I say!
I might define a man a different way than you do, and that's 100% okay!
I don't believe in a set definition of a man or woman.
I don't feel like they should be defined by their anatomy, but by character.
