Female / Male Gender Roles

         So this whole gender roles thing makes me kind of mad. i don't believe in most of them, but i guess that's what society sort of engraved in our heads. that men should be strong and manly and women should be more submissive and stuff. And in certain ways its true, some women are more sensitive then men but that doesn't mean anything, there are sensitive men out there. Not everyone is the same, i know a few girls that aren't girly and some men that aren't manly. I think it all depends on how you were raised and things you were told when you were a child. 

      In my case, i was taught to play with dolls and to be polite because "your a lady" and you're suppose to act a certain way. And for my brother things were different and when i asked my parents why their answer always was "because he's a boy" . Growing up he was allowed to stay out late and i till this very day am not allowed to stay out later then maybe 10pm. He has more freedom then i do and its always been that way as unfair as it sounds.

   All of this really makes me wonder "who made these things up?" and "how would things be if they didn't exist?" If you ask me they would be really different, and that's why when i'm older and have kids i wont do these "gender roles". Because in my eyes if i have a son and hes playing with a doll it doesn't make him anything, and i don't find anything wrong with that.Just like if i had a daughter and she wanted to be a football player or something, i would support her.
